The worst thing I tried to eat was mashed potatoes. I thouht they would be the easiest. What tasted so-o good to me was cream of chicken soup. So good. Then I found I could crush up crackers in the soup and double good. Also, oatmeal with lots of milk, butter and extra sugar(sinful)but oh so good. Of course, ice cream and plain yogurt without fruit. Juices all the time of anykind will give good calories with nutrition.
