Illinois: Savor the Flavor at Lake Forest

Director’s Corner, held weekly at Lake Forest Place, celebrated National Nutrition Month throughout the month of March. In the most recent meeting Megan RDN, Assistant Director of Health Care Dining Services, discussed reducing meat intake and using herbs and spices to add flavor to foods (not salt!).
Stuffed Avocados, prepared by one of our talented Sous Chefs, Patrick, were served. Avocados were stuffed with quinoa (cooked with lemon and seasoned with garlic), covered with a yogurt sauce and topped off with a roasted Kale chip seasoned with garlic and oregano. Residents were eager to receive the recipe to make this healthy, tasty treat on their own.
To keep the spirit of National Nutrition Month alive, we will be having Meatless Mondays at Lake Forest Place. In the month of April all Monday specials served in the recently opened Inverness Room will be vegetarian entrees.
Meatless Monday Specials:
  •  Pizza with Asparagus, Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese
  •  Spring Vegetable Grain Bowl 
  • Egg Plant Parmesan
  • Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers
