My mother has recently had a knee replacement and is due to come out of hospital this week I am after tasty meals that I can cook for my family and freeze a portion for my diabetic mother.

I really want to help her and have wanted to since starting keto almost 3 years ago. She had been diabetic for almost 19 years and has tried many types of medications. Her levels have been monitored over the last 2 weeks with the best reading of 8 have eating cupcakes.

I have a few recipes in mind but just wanted some different recipes especially ones that my 3.5yr (fussy eater) and 1.5 yr will eat as well. Also quick easy meals that my mum can cook when she is better and able to do more things for herself.

Would love some more recipe ideas and hope you guys can help me out. Also some ideas to help reduce my mums diabetes would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

This is a great reddit link with all sorts of information regarding Keto, with links to plenty of recipes and articles.

Not sure if these work for her. Depends on how much cooking she can do.

We stew pork butts in the crock pot till it is very tender. Sometimes just salt and pepper and sometimes add light mexican spices. We bag and freeze. Reheat, add sour cream or cheese and you have a yummy meal.

We do the same with ground beef but just saute it in a frying pan. Again sour cream or cheese added.

Put either on top of leafy greens for a salad. Add some black olives and you have a meal.

For the ground beef you ca stuff bell peppers and bake then freeze.

We vacum seal our frozen foods but ziplocks work fine for a month in the freezer.

I will say she is a bit woe is me and can be lazy when it comes to good hence the reason I’m trying to do this for her. So I need to make it as simple as possible and very easy to achieve a nice healthy meal instead of chocolate, ice cream and take away.
