I'm going to have to do the same but for myself rather than an elder.
I usually don't cook on weekdays due to work schedule. I'll cook
something great on weekend, then eat nothing but that till it's gone.
I live alone, so this sometimes takes a few meals to get rid of "the
good stuff". I'm going tomorrow to get the foodsaver at sams club..
Hope to make my own version of tv dinners..
I make great cubed steak, but end up making too much at one time, and
eating too much (too many calories) I then put off making cubed steak
to avoid this,, till I can't resist. (around here, the only decent
price is on "family packs" of meat...)
In other words.. I'm hoping it will help me with portion control..
I'll have to follow a few of the recipes offered here as well..
