We are talking about seniors with food related illnesses and we must handle our foods with the same principles. It seems like a lot! Once you get started, everything will come together. Some of us dread trying to figure out what to eat, and a healthy happy meal plan will do the job. Stop going out to eat rather than deal with what you need.
You will notice letters beside some foods in the meal plans. The letters represent what book you can find the recipe or foods in.
The letters r.m.p stands for recipes and meal planner. The letters
