Pork chops breaded with bread crumb mix; one teaspoon of Frank’s Red hot spice mix, one teaspoon of paprika mixed with 1/4th cup of plain nothing special bread crumbs. Sauteed a minute or so on each side in olive oil. Baked in the oven a 350F for twenty minutes to complete.
Mashed sweet potatoes mixed with Sticky Pete’s maple syrup, brown sugar and butter. Boiled about twenty minutes, drained and mashed in the pan. Two medium sized sweet potatoes about three tablespoons of syrup and about a teaspoon of brown sugar and tablespoon of butter. I held back some of the water that the sweet potatoes were boiled in but I did not use it. I did not add salt to the water.
Mixed veggies from frozen. 1/4 cup water, a drizzle of honey, salt and pepper. Put in an oven safe pot, covered for about 20 minutes at 350F. These were “so so” but I am not a big fan of frozen veggies. With the pandemonium though, I have a lot of frozen veggies. Some work well some do not. I am still experimenting with flavors.
Blueberry pound cake drove the whole show. It hogged the oven for about 45 minutes at 350F. Everything else is subservient to dessert. As it should be! The blueberries are experimental. The IGA had them fresh from Mexico or wherever. I added about 3/4 cup rinsed to top of the batter after I put it in the tube pan. Powdered sugar on the top finishes the cake.
She ate two pieces. Sometime the best end to a day is a good meal and a good dessert.
When Parkinson’s disease sucks, let her eat cake!

BRAVO! You’re doing a great job! Thanks for sharing about food. Some would think it so ordinary, but it is not to us. We’re at the mashed stage, but I’m still trying to incorporate some of your flavors.

The mashed sweet potatoes were a big hit! Maple syrup and brown sugar was perfect. I am not a big fan of sweet potatoes but Cheryl is and I keep hunting for flavors she likes. She lost her sense of smell early on and l suspect that many things taste bland to her. She tends to like sweet and savory flavors. She is not a fan of veggies. I think the flavor is too subtle.
