My fiance's neighbor is an older country gentleman who has terminal lung cancer. He is mostly bedridden now. Fiance is helping the man's son care for him. I go out there periodically and the only thing I can do for them is to cook.
I am looking for ideas on what to cook for this gentleman. He is old-school and loves things like meatloaf, home cooked green beans w/ red potatoes, that type of thing......home cooking.
His appetite has decreased, but he does eat small amounts. He has been having the best luck with softer foods....not mush, but softer things.
If anyone has any ideas on what I could make for him, I would appreciate hearing from you here. I can find recipes, I just need ideas. Last weekend when I was there I asked him what he wanted and he asked for pinto beans. I didn't have time to make them from scratch, so I bought canned. I felt really bad that I wasn't able to make them homemade.
We can throw dieting caution to the wind. He is not concerned about the calorie, sodium or fat content of foods.
Thanks to all!
