Soakdirty dishes to cut down washing time. When you are preparing soft dishes, choose foods that the whole family can eat, such as omelets,scrambled eggs,macaroni and cheese,meatloaf,tuna salad sandwiches,or tuna casseroles. Set aside enough food to be pureed in the ble nder or food processor for yourself. The less time spent cooking and cleaning up, the more time for relaxation and the family.
