On May 13th, residents at Church of Christ Care Center enjoyed a wellness activity with Dietitian April Ostrowski. April discussed herbs with the residents which included Sage, Basil and Chives. The residents were able use there sense of smell and touch with each of the herbs and discuss how they used them in their own cooking. Many of the residents were reminiscing about their favorite recipes with each herb. The residents favorite herb was basil, they we treated to meatballs with homemade marinara and fresh basil sprinkled on top.
The potted herbs will stay in the Activities department. One resident has offered to look after the herbs and water them. The Dietitians, Chefs and Activities department plans to use them in their future wellness and cooking activities.
