Scrambled eggs, I make with 1 TBSP heavy cream per egg adn lots of butter. Beat with wire whish and scramble soft. Poached eggs, soft boiled eggs. Cream of wheat cereal made with water and covered with hot milk, butter and honey. Add 1 tbsp carnation instant breakfast to milk or other blender stuff for more protein and calories. Soups, pasta, lamb chops or prime rib very rare, lobster. Since he can drink, I would try to find something he likes that has calories which water does not. I drank apple juice and flat ginger ale. Everyone says mashed potatoes, but that was one food I couldn't swallow regardless of how much milk, butter, and gravy I poured on it. Think lots of sauces and gravies to get foods down easier. Pour heavy cream over fresh fruit.

The one thing to remember is, besides a sore mouth and throat, our saliva is compromised so we have to have food that have a lot of natural moisture. Anything with citrus will burn. Watch salt 'cuz at times that is the only thing we can taste. Sweet came back last for me.

Take care,
