What you enjoy: I would try to eat foods that you like still and work at cleaning the attached appliance with a water pik and brush after meals. Some large palatal expanders cover taste buds on the palate so some foods may taste different.

Anything you like: Just keep away from popcorn, nuts, chips, or hard/sticky foods that can dislodge the expander or get stuck underneath it.

Recipes: Often your orthodontic specialist may have lists of foods to enjoy or avoid. Also a google search for something like foods with braces or recipes for braces should yield some great information as well.
