Hi Peggy,

You are doing a sterling job there.

The sausage sounds great.

Drinks might help where foods fail. Soups, broths, fresh pressed veg juice (if you can do it).

Also yogurt is pleasing to the palate, with berries.

How about collagen as a supplement? It’s full of protein and flavourless. It can go in soups, broths, porridge etc.

I hope this helps,
Alison

Hello Alison, I find myself on your wonderful page of information on traditional cooking. I am looking at my copy of Nourishing Traditions cookbook for information/recipes for elderly. My mom is 97 and she is not a big eater. I wanted to give her a multivitamin but the cleanest, simple one came yesterday and it is a big capsule. In my mind i think there has to be something to nourish her that she will eat regularly. My mom is German and I found Wellness Meats, they have a good liverwurst and it really lifts her up but she will eat so many days and then she won’t eat for a while. I did get the bone marrow broth but haven’t done anything with that yet.

I am starting to cook more nourishing foods again but I take care of my mom and that can be a full time job a lot of days.

Do you have any suggestions for nourishment for my mom, foods that will give her the nutrients she needs without a supplement? I know supplementation is sometimes necessary for a while but the supplements today are stuffed with all these superfoods, herbs, etc.

Thank you for any suggestions you might have. I did sign up for your newsletter too.

Have a great day, Peggy
