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 4: Yo news sep 29, 2014

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 6: Yo news sep 29, 2014

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!
