THE GASPORT NUTRITION SITE

Glenda Reardon, the Nutrition Director for Niagara County's Office For the Aging, has some great news to share with local seniors: The Office for the Aging lawyer, Gary Billinglsey, is going to visit the Gasport nutrition site approximately every 3 months. Seniors will know ahead of time by a schedule that he sends out...we'll post it here. He can do living wills, health care proxies and give advice on legal questions. This is free service...but anyone can make a donation for the service if they wish.

Glenda has also shared this recipe for Waldorf Salad:


Waldorf Salad
Serving size: ½ cup

(New and improved! No Mayonnaise!)

3 golden delicious apples, cut into small pieces, with skin on
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup chopped cashews (optional)
½ cup chopped carrots or sliced thin or grated
½ cup finely chopped celery (optional)
¼ cup coconut
1 cup lemon yogurt

Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate. For best results serve soon after preparation. Healthy and delicious!

Note: This should only be made with golden delicious apples as they do not turn brown like other apples do. Coconut and cashews are optional.

Depending on the size of the apples, you made need more than 1 cup of lemon yogurt. Serves 6-8 people.
