Bland Diet Blues

I've been on a bland diet since Monday, as per order of the doc. At first it was okay. So, there's not some amazing flavors and foods I can eat...big deal! Actually, I retract that. It IS a big deal, especially when appetite (I'm not talking about ability to consume food, just having the desire FOR food) is already a problem.
Since Thursday, Eric has also had to alter his food choices due to doctor instruction. We are now officially the most boring family ever! Can't eat "fun" foods. Don't drive "fun" cars.
So, if any of you know some good recipes of bland foods...I'd love to have them. The following is what I can eat.
