Been on a salad kick now for the past two weeks.
For some reason dad and I have both been craving fresh greens...

I've also found that if I pay attention to presentation, I can get dad
to eat better. If his plates are "pretty", he'll eat what I fix instead
of his ever famous spam and cheese omelets. :-(

<shudder>

Today his lunch salad was a mix of sliced romaine, boston butter lettuce
and baby spinach leaves. I lined the bowl first with some whole BB and
romaine leaves to make it attractive.

I then placed some sliced leftover grilled salmon on one part of the bed
of leaves, then some sliced roma tomatoes on another section and a
quartered hard cooked egg on the remaining third. I decorated in between
with some thin slices of grilled italian sausage.

Sprinkled over the entire thing gently with sesame seeds and put low fat
ranch dressing in the center. :-)

He was pleased and ate the whole thing!

I ate leftovers from yesterday. <G>
Re-heated grilled chicken wrapped in lettuce leaves with low fat mayo
and sliced tomato.

Sorry, no pic, but I have pics of salads from late last week to post as
soon as I process them.

Seems the secret to fixing the appetite of an elderly parent is to
really pay strict attention to presentation.... I have to work at it,
but it's more than worth it. :-)

Papasan is now 74.
