Poor old dad is 72, mid chemo for bladder cancer and is also type2 diabetic. He is very much of the ‘won’t let it get the better of me’ mindset and is carrying on as usual, but the chemo is tough, and having spent some time with them over Christmas, he is looking a little thin and fragile (understandably).
He does most of the cooking at home, but I want to feel like I’m doing something useful and would like to make him some meals which they can whip out and reheat when they’re ready which are healthy and nutritious.
To add another complication, DF is completely veg phobic and very much a meat and carbs man, but is also type 2 diabetic which is obviously really important to keep under control, especially now. He’s a fussy bugger but needs to keep the weight on in a way which is healthy to him.
I guess I’m after some 2 year old style hidden veg recipes, but highly calorific and low carb which I can freeze in batches. Any ideas or recipe book recommendations much appreciated. Thanks.
