My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about two years ago. He doesn't have mood swings and is even tempered unless I wrongly push him on something. I've learned to back off. He loves to eat and is very appreciative. The last year or so I had an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder which sapped my energy and gave me a lot of pain. One of the symptoms was anorexia - a lack of appetite. I had no desire to eat, but made myself, while he loved to eat. I wanted to eliminate dinner, but knew enough, not to propose it to him. I cook from scratch. I make hearty soups and stews in a large enough quantity that we can have it for a few nights. Also, when I make a large quantity, I freeze some so it's there for times I don't have the energy to cook. My husband has a sweet tooth. I make muffins with wholesome ingredients and half the sugar which he has for dessert with yogurt on top. Sometimes he forgets he ate dessert. He enjoys smoothies - frozen bananas with protein powder, milk or soy milk and a little stevia, but no added sugar. Now he wants lunch. I ask him to help me with the preparations to keep him engaged and he enjoys making a contribution. Best to everyone, for all the work you do.
