my mom can not seem to keep all her food down so she ends up coughing most of it up little by little into a pile of napkins i leave by her plate every time and a basket next to her chair for them.

Serve her food on her plate. Take the skin off and cut everything in bites.
Make sure all her teeth are ok.

PS- I still have to deal with spit out "globs" of food (bread etc). It still gags me sometimes. I give her a box of kleenex while she eats and sometimes she'll "hide" the glob in one so at least I don't have to see it. I also put a piece of paper towel over her plate when she's done so it's easier to clean- just grab her fork and use that to "wipe" the papertowel (and everything underneath) into the garbage-

I saw this and had to laugh. I went through this last year. I don't know about yours but mine spit the "skins" out all over the place. I spent all of my time digging "skins" off furniture and the floors (wait till you step on them- yuck). Now I remove anything that will feel like a "skin" to her. Peeling everything is a pain but much better than dealing with it after it's been chewed. Good luck :)
