Included in the home prepared meals she may also like some of the drinks that are on the market....I am sure they are loaded with nutrients.....

I had already been thinking about this for my mother.  She also does lean cuisine.  I think though lean cuisine is better than some other choices.  When I visit for Christmas, I planned on making stew since it has the meat and vegetables in one meal.  I've never cooked stew before, but we'll cross that bridge when the time comes.  😄

Individual-size pot pies freeze well and make complete meals.  In addition to the protein, fill them with a lot of veggies like carrots, green beans, onions, celery, bite-size pieces of broccoli, peas, etc; potatoes. mushrooms, etc.  Meatloaves can also be loaded with veggies.  I would also make some meatless dishes using beans and lentils. Or how about some breakfast casseroles... they don't have to be eaten just for breakfast, right?  Maybe loaded baked potatoes.  These items are easy to reheat.

Just a tip for the people that are short on freezer space. Soups, sauces and meals can be frozen in freezer zip lock bags on their side flat and stacked in the freezer. They thaw out quickly this way too.
