Cooking for One

By on August 21, 2014 in Food/Cooking/Nutrition Topics

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.

Recent past workshops included our September event, “Eating Well on  a Shoestring.” In October, our presenter spoke about “Meals in Minutes” – ideas about how to make quick and nutritious meals with what is available in the refrigerator and pantry.
