Co-Op Meal January 19th

From Heather Breeland:

"Brand new year! Brand new you!" What a slogan! Everytime a new year rolls around, we begin to make plans, set goals, announce resolutions, etc. So many of us have made decisions to live healthier and lose weight at the start of each new year that the gyms become overcrowded and the weight loss centers are packed.

Well, I have a different reason for searching out healthier foods. It is for my grandmother. During Christmas, my grandmother spent a week in the hospital with an infected gall bladder that could not be removed because of other complications. While there, she was also diagnosed with diabetes. Both of these problems call for special dietary needs. You add to that her already existing congestive heart failure and.... Well, you can see the dilemma. My mother cares for her and frequently I get cries for help, "What can I feed her?"

Thus our Health Food Fare dinner theme for our return to co-op on the 19th. Bring your best and healthiest one dish meal, entree, side dish or even, yes even, dessert. Think diabetic friendly, heart healthy and vitamin rich. I can't wait to taste your creations and dine with ya'll again. I'll see you around the dinner table.
