Meal ideas for elderly grandparents?

Do you take the food in an insulated bag or is it eaten cold?

GP’s age

Add butter and cream to anything you can eg mashed potatoes. That ups the calories count. At your GO’s age don’t worry about the alleged ‘bad’ aspects of dairy.

There are also high calory/Protein drinks such as Ensure.

HTH.

Goats cheese and butternut squash lasagne was always a favourite of my nan followed by bread and butter pudding. All easily digestible

How about a fish pie, the nursery kind just white fish, hard boiled egg and maybe a few peas perhaps make a cheese sauce

I think protein and fibre are priority but it can be hard to digest so chicken in various forms is usually a winner. Would macaroni cheese be acceptable to her, milk puddings, custard tarts all slip down easily but not much fibre in those. How about pasta (wholewheat kind) vegetable lasagne with added lentils?
I hope your grand mother is feeling better soon so you can get her home and spoil her.

Shepherd’s or Cottage pie but mince the vegetables so there are no ‘lumps’, then they get all the goodness and grandad can eat it. Sprinkle cheese on top of the potato mash.
