During the month of December, most of America loves to indulge in different things. One of the things home care assistance can help a senior indulge in are new delicious recipes. On December 4th, it is World Pear Day, and it’s time to experiment with new recipes for a senior to try. It is time to create a new recipe that your seniors will love.
Pears are a great ingredient to use because they can be made into sweet snacks or savory dinners. These are an excellent source of essential antioxidants, phytochemicals, and dietary fiber. They contain all of these nutrients in a low-calorie, fat-free, cholesterol-free package. Eating pears as part of a balanced, nutritious diet can help weight loss and lower a senior’s risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
Home care assistance can help a senior start baking or cooking on December 4th to find recipes they love. Pears are a good source of fiber and filled with other nutrients that a senior needs to be healthy. They also encourage detoxification which seniors can benefit from. If home care assistance needs some recipe ideas, start with this list.
This is a great recipe because there is no baking or cooking involved. Grabbing a block of blueberry or honey goat cheese and spreading it on a thinly cut pear is a great snack to munch on. If a senior cannot eat soft cheese, this can also be done with harder cheeses. If they prefer warm pears, try cutting up the pear and grilling it for two minutes on each side, covering it with a drizzle of honey and some cheese.
If a senior loves pears, make upside-down cake with a hint of rosemary. If a senior doesn’t like regular flour, almond flour can be a great alternative and it pairs really nicely with the other flavors. This can also have a sugar substitute because the pears will be sweet enough.
A senior may be craving something sweet, and this is the perfect recipe to make. This is also something pretty easy to make and home care assistance is sure to be able to help a senior with this recipe. It is perfectly crumbly, sweet, but also savory.
Some seniors may not like sweets as much as others. The nice thing about pears is that they are a great add-in for salads. It goes well with vinaigrette dressings and nuts. The combination is delicious and much healthier. The nice thing about salads is that home care assistance can prepare these meals in advance and they may last up to five days.
Seniors can bake this fresh in less than two hours. It is zesty and filled with cinnamon spice. It smells like the holidays and will be so tasty for seniors to snack on. Home care assistance can help meal prep these and portion the bread out for the entire week.
