Coleslaw, Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad

These are mostly easy to eat, but if your favorite recipes are getting challenging, usually they are easy to adapt.

• Grate cabbage and carrots so they are small pieces rather than long shreds
• Substitute small pasta like orzo instead of macaroni or springs
• Use celery seed to get the flavor
• Cut potatoes small and cook until soft
• Saute vegetables in bacon fat to get the flavor without crunchy bits that can be difficult to swallow
• Steam hard vegetables like celery, carrots,
• Peel cucumbers and other vegetables with tough skin
