Michigan: Fresh Sun-dried Tomato Hummus at Evangelical Home Sterling Heights

The dietitians at Evangelical Home in Sterling Heights, Michigan hosted a nutrition session on Carbohydrates for rehabilitation clients. The interactive class included our very first pre and post test as a way to measure learning and assist with goal setting in future sessions. The dietitians reviewed handouts and utilized common packaged foods to help teach attendees how to read a food label. A delicious snack of homemade Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus with baked seasoned pita chips was shared.
