Cooking for One
Hello out there!
I just received this handy cookbook from Hospice of Michigan.
Hospice of Michigan A Meal For Me Cookbook
It is quite extensive and obviously for those who have recently or maybe not so recently lost. It also contains some nifty quotes that may be comforting. Example: “Laughter is free, legal, has no calories, no cholesterol, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients, absolutely safe.” Kind of nice. Maybe you can use it, maybe one of your residents can use it. Recipes rule.
Peace.
