Oktoberfest hits the plates at the Western Home Communities

 
The WHC dining rooms have been all a flurry this week with Oktoberfest activities in full swing.  Iowa is a vast majority of heritages, but the Cedar Valley has a great population of German heritage.  With that being said, these recipes are a great enjoyment for the residents. They enjoyed some favorites pictured, and we look forward to a few more delicious recipes throughout the rest of the week.  
 
The conversations that flow because of this food is something though.  Residents are able to speak about their past, the adventures they had in life before they were all brought together as neighbors in this community.  Some even gave a few pointers on the food that was served and how they used to make it the same way, or how they varied the recipe a bit.  This is always a great opportunity for dining staff to learn new and exciting things about the residents they serve every night.
