Making grandma AND the kids happy 😅❤️ because food is love 💁‍♀️🌈❤️ Quick barbecue pizza for the kids, and a soft lower sodium soup for our aging parent My partner and I are caregivers for her 85-year-old mom. She requires soft and lower sodium food. So that can make Family meal time a bit more complicated. But I have tricks for making feeding our multigenerational family much easier on me. And most importantly, everybody happy at meal time. When you’re a Caregiver, I highly recommend that you do some form of prep at the beginning of the week. I prefer prepping ingredients rather than full meals. That way I can just mix and match ingredients to create a large variety of meals that work for everybody So I made this soft and lower sodium Italian sausage crumble for the week. If you’re a caregiver, I highly recommend this because it’s delicious. So I’m using it to make a quick pizza for the kids. And then a soft and lower sodium soup for our aging loved one.
