Love For Rick, Nikki and Caleb

Story

My brother in law has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Renal Cancer and has been given an average of two years to live. My sister and him have a son in highschool. He is currently trying out for the highschool baseball team. My sister has a very demanding job. There are some other struggles they are going through due to all this so I was hoping to get a meal train started or other type of meal help during this time. Please contact me to coordinate dropling off any meals or meeting me. Also I am getting an update on any meal suggestions and high protein food items for Rick.


Special Notes

Preferred Drop-Off Time 6:15 People to Cook For 2 Adults, 1 Kid Favorite Meals or Restaurants Caleb likes pizza, mac and cheese, and pudding. Nikki says she will eat anything (she did recently say she liked the deep fried croissants at Schnucks, but she was trying to not eat them). Rick is on a high calorie and high protein diet. I have included some suggestions for snack food that was given by Rick's doctor. When you are thinking about meals, tips to increase calories would be butter, cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, granola, mayo, olive oil, peanut butter, and nuts and seeds. Rick is a little picky, so I wouldn't try to make or order anything too crazy. High-Calorie and High-Protein Snacks When you are unable to eat three full meals a day, snacks made of familiar, wholesome foods can contribute needed protein, calories, vitamins and minerals. Choose from the following suggestions for fast, healthy snacks. Check your favorites and post on your refrigerator. Mini-sandwiches and finger foods Ham, chicken or tuna salad on toast, bread or dollar-size buns Thin slices of ham or other lunch meat rolled around bread sticks Mini pizzas Quesadillas Hard-boiled or deviled eggs Cheese spreads on toast or crackers (i.e., pumpernickel, rye or whole wheat) Bagels, bread, crackers or waffles spread with margarine, peanut butter, cream cheese, jam, jelly or marmalade Soups, breads and snack crackers Cream soup and whole-wheat crackers Cup-a-soup, breadsticks Cereal with fruit and whole milk Raisin toast with butter and jam Muffins, nut breads with butter and jam French toast with powdered sugar, syrup Corn bread with butter Biscuits with honey or margarine/butter Fruits Cottage cheese and fruit canned in syrup Fresh fruit sections and marshmallow crème dip Baked apple with butter, cinnamon, sugar Cream cheese, other soft cheese on fruits Peanut butter on celery, apples or other fruit Cantaloupe half with cottage cheese, ice cream or sherbet Fruited gelatin with whippedcream Frozen juice bars Frozen yogurt or fruited yogurt Vanilla ice cream with frozen fruit Ice cream with fruit/nut topping on sugar cone Angel cake with fruit and whipped cream Other Dried fruits with nuts and seeds Buttered popcorn Mixed nuts and seeds Chips and dip Vegetables and dip made with sour cream, cheese, chopped meats, shrimp or beans Desserts Whole milk or chocolate milk and cookies, i.e. fig bars or chocolate-covered graham crackers Instant breakfast drinks Whole-milk milkshake with fruit Granola bar Breakfast bar Pie with ice cream Cheesecake Pudding with whipped topping and chopped nuts Custard with ground cinnamon Creamsicle, popsicle Ice cream sandwich Sherbet Ice cream
