Hi,

DH's grandparents are well into their 80s but still living on their own. Nanna is getting worse and can't cook anymore. So Pop does the cooking. Unfortunatley, his cooking consists of putting some frozen chips in the oven or serving cheese and biccies. Nanna is skin and bones and needs to eat more. Her doctor has prescribed some sustenance shakes, which she does drink about half the recommended amount of. She is just not hungry and has no appetite. She is very frail and finds anything exhausting, even eating (her lung capacity is shocking, too.
I have been trying to cook easy to eat foods for them once a week. Things like pumpkin soup, minestrone, stews and cottage pie.
Do any of you have suggestions of simple foods that are easy to digest but packed full of goodness? I don't think we can make Nanna eat more, so I want to make every mouthful count. I am going to cook for them at least 2-3 times a week from now on.

We tried to convince them to get meals on wheels. Instead they went out and bought TV dinners. Lean cuisine of all things!!! just what they need: to lose weight!

Any suggestions are mich appreciated.
Cheers, Saša
