RECIPE OF THE MONTH

NUTRITION HOME-DELIVERED MEAL CLIENTS:

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED Home delivered meal clients can help the Center save food, gas and money. If you are not going to be home to receive your meal, please call our Nutrition Department at 740-454-9761, Ext. 107 before 9:30 AM to let us know. This way we will not prepare a meal for you, our driver will not waste gas coming to your home, and we save money that will help serve others.

IRISH BOILED DINNER

I NGREDIENTS: 1 (5 1/2 Pound) corned beef brisket 2 large onions, peeled 16 small white (Irish) potatoes 2 (2pound) heads cabbage, each cut into 4 wedges 10 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces

Put corned beef in a large pot and add water to cover by 3 inches. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then remove lid and boil 30 minutes, skimming foam as needed. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 3 1/2 hours.

Add onions, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots to pot (add water if needed to cover vegetables). Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

Transfer potatoes, cabbage, and carrots to a serving bowl. Slice onions in quarters and add to vegetables; cover with foil to keep warm. Keep brisket in pot until serving (it dries out quickly).

BE PREPARED Having an emergency food supply means you won’t go hungry when transportation, weather, health or other problems prevent you from getting your usual supply of groceries or meals. You should have at least a three day supply of food available. Check the expiration dates on your emergency stockpile every 6 months to keep things fresh. Don’t forget to have a hand-held can opener, disposable plates/cups and plasticware on hand. Suggestions for an emergency food pantry include:

Peanut Butter Juice Boxes/Single Serve Bottled/Canned

Juice Crackers Nuts and Trail Mixes Granola or Protein Bars Dried Fruit Pudding Cups Canned or Vacuum-Packed Tuna or Chicken Canned Soup/Meals (Beef Stew, Ravioli,

Baked Beans) Canned Fruit Bottled Water Sports Drinks (Gatorade or Powerade) Powdered Milk Multivitamins or Single Serve V8 Juice At Least a Three Day Supply of Medication

OUTSIDE FOOD POLICY I t is the pol icy of the Muskingum County Center for Seniors that NO HOMEMADE foods are permitted to be brought in for activities. Store bought , pre-packaged i tems are a l lowed. Because our facility operates under a food license, this policy has been made to protect you, our Seniors, as well as the security of our food license. Also, our agreement with Area Agency on Aging prohibits outside lunch from being brought into the building. Thank you for your understanding in this matter!

FOOD PANTRY The Food Pantry is open once monthly on the first Wednesday of the month from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM. If you have a food need and are not a current pantry client, please call Pathways of Licking County at 211 or 800-544-1601. They will refer you to the pantry closest to your home. This month’s pantry date at the Center is March 7th.

COMMODITIES REMINDER: All boxes need to be picked up on the assigned day. Please have your proxy pick up for you if you are unable to do so. If we do not hear from you by 4 PM the day of distribution, it will be counted as a “no show.” In order for the commodities distribution to run smoothly, partici-pants must watch for direction from Center employees, volunteers, and the officer on duty. DO NOT show up early. This only causes traffic congestion. Commodity distribution for this month is March 15th from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.

I NGREDIENTS: 1 (5 1/2 Pound) corned beef brisket 2 large onions, peeled 16 small white (Irish) potatoes 2 (2pound) heads cabbage, each cut into 4 wedges 10 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces

Put corned beef in a large pot and add water to cover by 3 inches. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then remove lid and boil 30 minutes, skimming foam as needed. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 3 1/2 hours.

Add onions, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots to pot (add water if needed to cover vegetables). Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

Transfer potatoes, cabbage, and carrots to a serving bowl. Slice onions in quarters and add to vegetables; cover with foil to keep warm. Keep brisket in pot until serving (it dries out quickly).

BE PREPARED Having an emergency food supply means you won’t go hungry when transportation, weather, health or other problems prevent you from getting your usual supply of groceries or meals. You should have at least a three day supply of food available. Check the expiration dates on your emergency stockpile every 6 months to keep things fresh. Don’t forget to have a hand-held can opener, disposable plates/cups and plasticware on hand. Suggestions for an emergency food pantry include:

DO NOT show up early. This only causes traffic congestion. Commodity distribution for this month is March 15th from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.
