I have an older gentleman that I prepare meals for once a week , for the week ,and I'm always asking if there is anything special he would like , he always said " no everything is good " but last week he asked for veggie beef soup to have in the freezer , so I stocked him up . The small containers work best for him because he will have a sandwich , , or a salad with . So easy for him , he just moves it over to fridge the night before and puts it in his soup mug to heat up !
