I am terrible when it comes to passing up the snacks when I go to the store. I am trying to curb that desire to snack on chips and dip! This week, I cleaned out my kitchen cabinets and because my dad is on a pension I called him to offer it to him and he accepted GLADLY!

My sister lives down the street. A lot of times if I have leftovers and I know they will not get eaten they go to her house for dinner a second time in the same night! She works and is always so busy she has a hard time getting food to the table. It is my RAOK for the day.
I do this regularly for my dad. He tells my sister he has plenty of food when she asks him, but he always gladly accepts whatever I take to him. I always make a big batch of soup/chili, and divvy up leftovers for him and put in his freezer in individual servings for him.
I do know that freezer soup is a real hit with guys!Keep adding to it & it will never go away so friends coming over in the middle of dinner is no problem either! My son has always loved it & it is easy to keep adding drained water from off the canned veggies for instance & little bits of this & that. He especially loves it to have a little leftover mac & cheese & roast beef & if there are a few spoonfuls of brown gravy I add it too.
lol
How wonderful to have dad, or sis nearby. For those of us who are not that lucky, think of a neighbor who might be in need! It's always easier to have it made up, then say "I have a little extra, and would you like it?"
