Recipes
Care.Cook.Inspire Cookbook
As a caregiver, you may be juggling between work, your family, caregiving, and having your own personal time. Despite your busy schedule, you may wish to prepare home-cooked meals for your loved one.
By preparing meals at home, it can be easier to cater to your loved one, who may have special dietary requiremetns, and aid in their recovery. A good diet includes the main food groups of carbohydrates, fats, and protein, and important vitamins and minerals.
Present the meals in an easy to chew, or digestible manner, by cutting up the food into bite sized, or having them in puree or mashed form if your loved one has difficulty eating solid foods, or problems with swallowing.
