Here is the recipe Josh made earlier today for our Emergency Shelter Community Members!

Ingredients:
Old fashioned Oat-meal (instant oatmeal is okay as well, just be mindful of sodium content)

Frozen Blueberries (fresh blueberries work as well if not better, however are not in season so frozen would be most cost efficient, can be harvested in the summer months and froze.)

Ripe bananas, really cheap at Leech Lake Market :)

Ground Flaxseed (because of the hard shell flax is hard to digest so we recommend the ground variety and if not get the whole flax and blend them up yourself)

Maple Sugar (can be harvested traditionally :) )

Water - Always a plus.

Non-dairy milk or milk of your choice. Leech Lake Market has these :)

Directions:
1. Take 2 cups of water and 1 cup of Oats, throw into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Soon as the oats and water boil remove from heat and let simmer and thicken.

2. Dice bananas into coins

3. Rinse berries. (if you harvested these freeze them without washing, wash them after being froze)

4. Put oats into a bowl and top with banana coins, rinsed berries, ground flax, maple sugar (to taste) and if a creamy consistency is desired add the milk of your choice. We recommend non diary milk.

Josh our Diabetes Wellness Education Coordinator, visited the Mens ARC (formerly known as the mens halfway house) and their commercial kitchen this morning!

Big shout out to the cook this morning for being helpful and welcoming!

Using the ARC's resources, we had some Oatmeal with a berry mix!

Oatmeal and berries are loaded with FIBER!

fiber helps tremendously with appetite regulation (curbs cravings!) and helps keep our blood sugars in check (great for diabetics)!

What is one of your favorite foods with fiber?

Introducing our new Office Manager/Receptionist Cohl!!

Read about Cohl below!!

Hi! My name is Cohl Wilson. I am the Office Manager/Receptionist at the Diabetes Clinic.
I was born and raised in the Cass Lake area, Mission to be exact. I went to Bemidji High School and now I want to go to the Tribal College for my associates in Business Management to be a Medical/Health Service Manager to be a part of the business side of hospitals. I enjoy going outside. In the summer I would try to go swimming as much as I can. In the winter, which is my favorite time of year, I love sledding and being pulled on the snowmobile until everything is frozen, then going inside to have hot chocolate and warm food. I have two pets, both cats and they are very playful and like chasing each other around the house. I usually give them left overs because I love spoiling them as well.

Introducing Kristen one of our nurses!!

Read about Kristen Below!

Hello, my name is Kristen Malm. I'm a RN at the Diabetes Clinic providing Diabetes Home Visits, and my work number is 218-507-1810.



I'm originally from the Itasca area and I went to High School in Park Rapids, MN. In 2019 I graduated from Northwest Technical College in Bemidji, MN with my RN degree. From there I worked on the Medical-Surgical Floor at the Sanford Hospital in Bemidji prior to working for LLBO. I'm married and we have two pets, a cat and a husky. You can find me enjoying anything that is green and outdoors, and we always bring our dog with! During warmer days you can find me hiking, canoeing, soaking up the sun, and working in my vegetable garden. When it's a bit chillier outside you can still find me working the dog with a good hike, curled up reading a book, or trying out a new baking recipe.
