We had our baking club assist us in preparing two recipes for National Nutrition Month, the regions and recipes are as follows:
1) Caribbean - Pineapple Relish
2) North America - Spaghetti Squash with Mushrooms and Tomatoes
Baking Club is a group of residents who meet every Tuesday in Activities and prepare items with the activities department. Our activities department is equipped with a kitchen in addition to our dietary department's kitchen. It allows them to do one of their favorite activities they used to do on a daily basis, which is baking/cooking. It also gives them a chance to have a little treat when they eat what they've made. Any resident is able to come, usually the group size is ~10-15 people. When we prepared the pineapple relish and the spaghetti squash with tomatoes/mushrooms some of the residents help cut items while others helped scoop out the spaghetti squash.
