This is a new elderly couple in Gallatin that was referred to me by a wonderful Publix employee, Katie.  The Mrs. is having terrible digestive related problems, from trouble w/ swallowing, to hiatal hernia, to acid reflux.  Her hubby is quite well, and so I actually altered the recipes for each person.  this is one of those instances that I'd like to see detoxing, chiropractics, herbal supplements, total dietary change....not gonna happen!  )<:  When you have lived for 85 years going to regular Dr.'s, taking any kind of prescription drug w/o researching it first, and eating processed foods, it becomes embedded in the being.

Today's client has been with me for 3 years this month.  She's having trouble getting her hubby to eat the sides, so I went and bought 3 compartment lidded, micro containers.  That way the sides will heat with the entree.  Problem solved.  He'll take these to work most days, so he can lay off the fast food during the day.  We ARE what we EAT!
PS:  He likes southern food and also is pretty picky.  I do my best by lightening up the recipes:

1.TURKEY MEATLOAF
2.HONEY MUSTARD PORK TENDERLOIN
3.PEAS AND MUSHROOMS
4.ROASTED RED POTATOES
5.CREAMED CORN
6.FRIED APPLES

Also, yesterday I got an email from them requesting I make a huge pot of Veg. Beef Soup for company that is arriving today.  Their wish is mt command!  (<:
