At Evangelical Homes Brecon Campus, Chef Janet and RD Christina Weber teamed up to provide an interactive session for independent residents. Chef Janet utilized a National Nutrition Month recipe - spaghetti squash with tomatoes and mushrooms. The residents communicated wanting to increase their knowledge on protein intake. We discussed easy ways to incorporate protein to recipes such as this one, how to add protein to snacks, sources of lean protein, and why protein is important to older adults. Residents were engaged and asked for the recipe to be added to the regular menu!
