🍎 Meal Delivery for Seniors

There comes a time when important people in our life such as parents or grandparents are no longer able to perform daily tasks such as grocery shopping and cooking. Especially if you live far from them, meal delivery can be an excellent way to make sure they have food ready in the fridge or freezer that they can easily take out and heat up in the microwave.

• Local Meals on Wheels are a great service. Meals on Wheels operates country-wide through local organizations and offer nutrition, socialization, and safety checks. 

• Mom’s Meals also delivers nationwide and serves people who are covered under Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid plans, Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) programs or the Older Americans Act, and by individuals or their caregivers who are looking for a self-pay program. 

• Magic Kitchen is another company that offers senior-focused meals and has programs available for qualified Medicaid participants. Get 20% off when you join their email list.

• Top Chef Meals, based in New York, offers frozen meals ready to microwave and has meal plans for special diets such as low carb, low sodium, diabetic, and low fat.

• If the person you're ordering for is fighting for their dignity and doesn't want to feel like they are receiving senior meals, then local companies are a great solution to provide fresh meals and a more personal touch. Search their city on nostove.com to see the local list.

🍽️ Classic Meal Prep at Home

Even though I’m one of the biggest fans of and users of meal delivery - I still cook at home. Sometimes to save money, other times because I need a change, and often because I forgot to place my order. Here’s what I consider my breakdown of classic meal prep.

Choose your ingredients

To simplify meal choices for classic meal prep, you pick a protein, a veggie, and a grain or bean. Taking the list below, you can mix and match to create endless variety with simple and healthy ingredients. Add your own options to this list. I use minimal seasoning - usually olive oil, salt, and pepper, but using more herbs, seasoning mixes, or sauces like soy sauce can also add some pep.

Simple meal prep cooking tips

There are two key things I do to minimize meal prep cooking and using lots of pots and pans: sheet pan baking and a rice cooker.

Sheet pan baking means you can put all your ingredients on one pan, stick it in the oven and let it go. Use aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a silicone sheet on your sheet pan for easy cleaning. Chop everything up, season it with salt, pepper, and olive oil - or by all means more seasonings if you want - throw it on the pan, in the oven, and bake.

I recently learned the magic of rice cookers. In a pot I need a timer and to be ready to get the rice when it’s done cooking and it often came out too wet or too dry. With the rice cooker you press one button and your done, it switches to warm mode when it’s done cooking so you don’t need to “catch it” at just the right moment. But that’s not the magic.

Rice cookers are magic because you can cook almost any grain in them. Pasta and rice are my weaknesses, but I can now cook “healthier” grains just as easily. Faro is delicious if you haven’t tried it. Quinoa works and I often mix it in with faro or rice. Lentils can be cooked in the rice cooker as well as beans if they’re soaked first. You’ve got any grain or bean cooked unmonitored in your rice cooker so you can go back to whatever else you were doing.
