Expanding our residents' palates – one pumpkin at a time! Sweet and savory pumpkin recipes were on the menu at yesterday’s Fork and Knife cooking demo. Dietitians Christine Hansen and Lela Niemetz, along with virtual intern Katie Wilson, prepared a pumpkin sage “cream” sauce and fettuccine with mini brown sugar cinnamon frosted pumpkin chai cupcakes for a sweet endnote. Residents were surprised how delicious pumpkins could be without being in a pie!
