The goal was to have things that were easily chewable and high in calories since she was underweight and picky. I premade these and then froze them – they would come out to the fridge and then get popped into the microwave. She would eat it with some soft fruit and veggies if she was up for it.
Meatballs: onion, ground beef, stuffing, egg mixed, rolled and fried then topped with brown gravy. Served with boxed stuffing and broth, mashed potato with cheddar, chives, sour cream. She loved this!
Lasagna: onion, garlic, tomato, mushroom, ground beef and pork browned then mixed with raos, seasoned and simmered. Layered with lasagna noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, cheddar, meat sauce & baked. Mashed red potatoes & stuffing.
Chicken: Homemade gravy mixed with roasted chicken shredded up. Mashed reds and some samosas she’d been curious about.
Pot pie: butter pie crust filled with roast chicken, corn, peas, carrots and roux. Served with baked cinnamon sugar yams cubed, and some fried cheddar bites.
Enchilada: diced green chiles, shredded roast chicken, Oaxaca & cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onion and topped with creamy verde sauce and cheese. Served with baked Mac n cheese and mashed sweet potatoes.
Muffin bites: kodiak protein mixed to box and put in mini cupcake tin to bake. Did pancake with sausage and pancake with blueberries. Also made chocolate protein muffins with extra chips.

I miss my grandma. I wish I could’ve done more for her.
You are such a wonderful person. The food at my grandma’s memory care facility was so gross and the last few months my grandma survived solely on potato chips and a yogurt a day. Enjoy your time with her while you can. I am so grateful I was able to see her as much as I did at the end.

i do this for my grandma too (but she’s living alone at home) and would love more recipe ideas 🙂 we are doing it to control weight, if she had her way she’d have wendy’s and ice cream every day which would just make our lives harder as her caretakers. from one person doing it to another i recognize how hard it is.
you’re a good person.
This is such a sweet thing to do 🥺
That’s amazing!
