Yo Wiksas!
This month has been a bit scattered due to facility
rentals and catering jobs. Our next Elder's Fun Day
will be this Wednesday, Oct. 1st starting at 12pm
with lunch. I have a bunch of games and prizes to
mix it up a little bit. Then next week we will go back
to our usual Mondays @ 12pm.
I have been making jam for the Elders. Please come
see me if you haven't gotten to try some yet and I
will give you a jar. My next quest is salsa. I will jar
some homemade salsa to hand out as well. We tried
setting out the crab traps. No luck :( Hopefully we
can get our hands on some very soon. We will be
going clam digging like I said before. Anyone who
wishes to come and help dig for our elders is more
than welcome to do so. If anyone has any other food
harvesting ideas, please feel free to run it by me.
We have started a step challenge with some of the
Elders. If you haven't gotten a digital pedometer
(step counter), please come and see me to get one if
you'd like to be a part of teh challenge. We have yet
to determine the grand prize for the step challenge.
Maybe on Wednesday we can decide what that will
be.
October 20 I will be taking granny Sara down for her
Cataracts surgery & follow up. So I will be away
October 20 & 21. Return back to the office on
Wednesday October 22 with the Elder's Fun Day that
day. So again, only one Fun Day will be Wednesday
and that's Wednesday October 22.
Please feel free to contact me at my office if you
have any questions or concerns. I would be happy to
see or speak with you.
Have a great week!

Good Food Bag Recipes
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to put another reminder
of the changes to the Good Food Bag in
the newsletter.
Payment is due when you sign up, no
exceptions.
The cut off for signing up is the
Wednesday before the GFB.
There will be no home deliveries
(except elders that have trouble
picking up their GFB).
Now lets get back to talking about
food…
While the weather is still very nice,
the mornings are getting to be cooler
and that means fall is coming shortly.
And that means soup time!
The best kind of soups are the ones
you make yourself, not only can you
put whatever you want in them
(veggies, meat, herbs etc.), you can
also control the amount of salt. Most
store bought soups, soup mixes and
broths contain higher amounts of salt
than if you were to make it yourself.
Making your own homemade broth is
very rewarding when cooking for
yourself, friends or family – it is
nourishing, helps fight colds, warms
the home and body and the aroma is
quite unforgettable.
Here are some beneficial properties of
the herbs and vegetables included in
the recipe this week.
Garlic: antibacterial, antiviral,
antifungal, stimulates the immune
system.
Carrots: high in Vitamin A and Beta
Carotene and fiber.
Celery: kelps kidneys dispose of waste
products, reduces overall acidity in the
body, helps improve and normalize
circulation.
Thyme: stimulates immune function,
antimicrobial.
Oregano: a calming and soothing herb,
helps with nervousness, irritability
and insomnia.
Bay-leaf: stimulates appetite and
digestion, easing upset stomach.
Peppercorns: warming, energizing and
stimulating. Helps with slow
circulation and poor digestion.
Parsley: high in iron, a mineral that
helps our blood carry oxygen. Helps
build immunity and helps bladder and
kidney problems
Main Dish:
Hearty Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
2 carrots, diced
1 large onion, diced
3 cups shredded cabbage
1 zucchini, chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 smaller potatoes, chopped
1 large handful of spinach
6-8 mushrooms, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 liters vegetable stock
1-2 liters water (add if not enough water in soup)
PAGE 2 GWA’SALA-’NAKWAXDA’XW NATIONS YO! NEWS 08/29/2014
2 tbsp tomato paste
4-5 leaves fresh basil (optional)
3-4 stems fresh oregano
3-4 stems fresh parsley
black pepper to taste
lentils or cooked white beans
To Prepare the Soup Stock: Perfect for a
crockpot!
Add the bag labeled “Vegetable Soup Stock Mix”
to a pot and fill with 6 cups of water. Bring to a
boil then let simmer for 2-4 hrs (the longer you
let simmer the more flavor it will have). Set
aside.
Soup Stock mix included: 1/2 onion, skin on, 1
carrot, 2 stocks celery, 2 bay leaves, thyme,
parsley and 3 cloves garlic, skin on and 1 tsp
peppercorns.
To Prepare the Soup:
Add the butter, garlic, carrots and onions to a
large pot. Sauté over medium heat until onions
are translucent.
Add in the cabbage, zucchini, potatoes and
mushrooms.
Pour in Vegetable stock. Add the basil, oregano
and pepper. Stir to mix and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Rinse and add the beans and/or lentils, tomato
paste and tomatoes. Cook for an additional 10
minutes. Add water if needed (lentils will use
some water to cook). Simmer until done
(Vegetables soft and beans/lentils cooked)
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Side Dish:
Apple Pecan Salad
Ingredients for the salad:
Green Lettuce
Pecans, lightly toasted
Apples, cut up like matchsticks (see picture
above)
Green Onions, chopped
To Prepare the Salad:
Lightly toast pecans by putting them in a pan on
medium heat. Stir constantly until pecans are
lightly brown.
Wash and cut lettuce, put in bowl.
Chop apples (like matchsticks, seen in above
picture).
Chop green onions.
Put all vegetables, fruit and nuts in a bowl and
toss.
Ingredients for the salad dressing:
¼ cup Greek Yogurt
1/2 tbsp Honey
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
Pepper to taste
¼ cup Olive Oil
To Prepare the Salad Dressing:
Mix all dressing ingredients together and blend
until all ingredients are mixed well.
*Tip: making the dressing in a mason jar makes it easy to shake and blend. Pour desired amount over salad and enjoy!
Left over salad dressing can easily be kept in the
fridge for a week.

Healthier Eating – it’s worth it!
10 Tips on where to start and how to budget…helping to make the
change a little less overwhelming
1. Eat in season: Eating in season will not only give you access to the freshest veggies, it will also be
easier on your pocket book as in season fruits/vegetables tend to be less expensive than if you were
to buy them out of season. See the charts for “In Season Vegetables and Fruits”
2. Read the flyers: Paying attention to grocery store flyers is a great way to save money on meats,
fresh veggies/fruits, cheese, yogurt, grains etc. Try to buy items while on sale. Also plan your
meals around those sale items.
3. Plan ahead: Plan your meals before you go to the grocery store. This will save you time at the
grocery store and you’ll know exactly what ingredients you need because you can take a look in
your cupboard before you head to the store.
4. Limit your shopping: Try to limit your shopping for 2-3 meals. Planning ahead and buying less
actually saves you from throwing things out. It happens….you load up on lots of fruits and
vegetables only to forget about them in your fridge, they end up going bad and that means you
wasted healthy food and money.
5. Shop the perimeter of the grocery store: the “outside” aisles of the grocery store generally have the
healthiest options such as fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, dairy and meats. Avoid the center aisles
where the junk foods and processed foods are.
6. Pay attention to ingredients: Eating healthier means you should be more conscious about what the
ingredients are. Here are some things that you should be limiting/eliminating in your diet as they
can raise blood sugar, raise bad cholesterol, actually makes you put on weight, increase cravings,
and some options are “empty calories – low nutrient value”.
a. low-fat foods & low-sugar foods, these substitute to “alternative fats and sugars which can
actually be worse for you!!
b. cooking oils such as canola, sunflower seed, vegetable, soybean) – choose olive oils, coconut,
grape seed soils instead.
c. refined sugars (white and brown sugars, pop, candy, sugary cereals.) – choose options that
aren’t high in sugar, choose items with honey as the sweetener.
PAGE 4 GWA’SALA-’NAKWAXDA’XW NATIONS YO! NEWS 08/29/2014
d. sugar substitutes (aspartame, corn syrups, fructose, glucose etc.).
e. artificial dyes and flavors - choose pure extracts,
f. high salt content foods (some canned goods)
7. Time to switch: Switch from white breads, white pasta and white rice to brown and whole-wheat
options. Sometimes this takes a bit of time because the taste is different. When cooking pasta, try
mixing half white and half whole wheat, to help with a gradual transition to 100% whole wheat.
8. Buy Organic: if you can’t buy organic all the time due to the availability of organics at the grocery
store or because of the price, you can watch the sales and buy them when you can.
9. Start your own garden: It doesn’t have to be a huge garden, it can be a small container (lettuces,
spinach, kale, carrots etc.). Growing your own vegetables ensures that they are organic and can
help save money! If your kids aren’t too keen on vegetables than having them help grown their
own may change their attitude as it gives a sense of pride and satisfaction of helping provide for
their family….not to mention that it’s pretty cool to have grown something you can eat!
10. Recipes: Sometimes coming up with recipes isn’t the easiest but luckily we have the Internet, the
good food bag recipes and our friends/family to call up and ask for suggestions and ideas. You
don’t have to spend a lot of time cooking; you can make healthy meals that are quick and tasty!
a. http://www.tastespotting.com - a fantastic visual website with a million ideas! You can
search the recipes using any key word (such as: chicken, thai, greens, carrot, thyme, bake,
pizza…. basically anything cooking related you can think of.)
Don’t forget that you can pick up the phone or send Michelle an email anytime and ask for suggestions
etc.
Hope this helps!
