So I know that she's not supposed to have heavily fatty foods for a while (I'm soooo not prepared for this, I love cooking without limitations!) I guess my first question would have to be: What should she eat immediately after the surgery and what type of foods can I stock up on for her?
My second question is: What are some low fat recipes (on a budget) that I can make for her in the months to come? I cook primarily Asian and Hispanic cuisine (I'm Chinese from South Florida!). Are there any changes I should make to those types of foods? I know both types of cuisine like to make use of their fats and oils. Also, are there other types of cuisine that are pretty low fat? I still want things to be tasty and not too bland for her - and I suppose myself as well since we are on a tight budget and we can't really afford to get separate stuff for each of us.
Are there things I can substitute in place of certain ingredients? Are different types of oils equally fatty or are there some that are "better" than others? Would non-fat ingredients be just as good as their counterparts or would that just depend on the recipe?
Last of all, do you guys have any recommendations or recipes that are delicious and low fat? I'd love to make a little recipe book and just compile everything I find. Thank you so much for reading this post! I really appreciate it :)
bon appetit
