I'm not sure exactly what you mean by"good food"so pardon me if this isn't what you mean. My wife has an uncle with Parkinson's and he enjoys the new"Compleats"meals made by Hormel. They're sort of like frozen dinners, but they're not frozen, they just sit on the shelf. He warms them in the microwave about 1 minute (or I suppose you could serve them room temperature) so there's really no cooking. The food is soft but not liquidy (her uncle chokes easily on liquid foods), and there is a huge variety to choose from. They're about 400 calories or less each, so they aren't fattening for someone whose activity level is low. We eat them occasionally as well, and they're actually quite delicious. Jello makes individual pudding packs for dessert, and I'd imagine that would make a nice meal.So, not sure what you were looking for, but these are tasty, good consistency, low to no preparation and storage, lower than average calorie and fat content... Is any of this what you were asking about?Hope this helps...
