What is Same Menu?
Born from a desire to see the same pride and the same heart in the dysphagia-friendly recipes as what is served to everyone sitting at our tables, these recipes feed any age, any background. Rather than being singled out for different chewing and swallowing needs, offering the same menu creates a shared experience that fortifies our connections with those for whom we care.
Why Same Menu?
- 10+ years as a speech-language pathologist, I understand the mechanics of what makes foods easy to safely swallow and the IDDSI diet framework.
- 10 years in food service gave me hands-on experience in creating flavorful, attractive meals that everyone at the table is excited to enjoy.
- Adaptations in dietary guidelines, macronutrient ratios, and energy expenditures that make each recipe accessible to all.
- Up-to-date research, practical guides, and drive for building community and dysphagia resources.
