Just a thought...I put spices and thing in my baby food. It really helps it. Cinnamon (or even cinnamon and sugar) in the fruits, and different mixes (Italian mix, Asian mix, etc) in the veggies. Sometimes I eat them plain if I'm out, but it feels more like "real" food with the spices. Also, you can just cook the vegetables you would normally serve for dinner (or that you are already serving your family) and puree them for you to eat. Veggies are so much easier to digest if they are cooked. I'm actually using the "Mini Food Chopper" my parents purchased when I was a baby to make baby food (oh, so many years ago). It's works great, because its made for the small amounts.
Also, you said you were used to bagels and cream cheese (which I also adore). There is a soy cream cheese called Toffuti Cream Cheese that I bought to try as a sub in a recipe, but it tasted so good that I've bought it over and over to use on bagels, bananna bread (Heather's recipe is *so* good!), and other things. If you are still looking for safe bagels, I believe that Pepperidge Farm Plain is safe, and the Sara Lee Delightful Plain (be sure it says Delightful) or the Sara Lee Mini Bagels (Plain, Blueberry, Cinnamon Raison, all kinds of flavors). Just be sure to read the ingredients for yourself, in case something has changed since I last bought them. (It's just a good idea in general, really...)
Enjoy. And Congratulations!
