A lot of these recipes call for low-calory or low-fat ingredients.  You can substitute higher calory ingredients such as:
  • Whole milk, regular margarine, and mayonnaise.
  • Cream or ice cream instead of yogurt or skim milk
  • Honey or molasses instead of sugar
  • Carnation Instant Breakfast instead of powdered milk [see below]
  • Using soy milk has a less risk of pneumonia for people having trouble swallowing
    • I apologize, a lot of the below links no longer connect and I haven't had time to find new ones!

    This picture is a promo I made up when I was thinking
     about having these holders made.  Maybe some chapter or support group
