That taco seasoning sounds SO good but my stomach has become so sensitive to spicy things since I've developed gastroparesis. I'd love a really good taco with fresh salsa. Right now, I'd love just about anything that wasn't bland...does anyone have a recipe for great tasting bland food???

@ktracyf Like you, I am eating more "bland" food than ever. One of my "go to" recipes is a modification of risotto. I use the ration of 1 cup rice to 5-6 cups chicken broth. Set up your chicken broth to warm. Dice 1 onion, 3 carrots and 3 stalks celery. Cover the bottom of a large kettle with 1 tsp oil and saute in order the onion, celery and carrot; salting after each addition. When the vegetables are softened, add the rice and stir together. Add enough broth to cover the rice and simmer; adding broth as necessary (about every 20 minutes) to keep the rice covered. Stir after each broth addition until the rice is done. Do not stir constantly after adding the rice and broth, just after each addition of broth. When the rice is done stir in (whip) 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and serve. I hope you like it.

@ktracyf- Good morning! I'm sorry that you have to deal with gastroparesis. It must put a kibosh on enjoying foods. I'm assuming that you have researched the "what to eat and what to avoid" so that you aren't feeling ill all the time. Are you taking medicines to help your stomach muscles work better? Adding herbs to any food, even eggs, will make foods less boring. And you can add more than one herb at a time. Also I'm learning to calm things down myself because I have very bad GERD so I use substitutes. Here are some suggestions. And if you can share what doesn't work for you, this group, I'm sure would be very thankful.
