To continue our monthly saga of Healthy Cooking Class with Tammy and Audrey, we indulged in ZUCCHINI BROWNIES!!

Okay okay, maybe not the healthiest, but they have vegetables…the ladies even suggested we could put nuts, raisins, or cranberries in them! That makes them a little more healthy right? To keep them healthy, we did not add the chocolate chips the recipe calls for. ☹️

This is a recipe from our dietary manager Tammy’s personal stash.

Zucchini from our very own garden here at Emerald Glen! 🥒

At our community bingo gathering, we usually offer a raffle for a basket of goodies. While sorting through some items, we stumbled upon a gift card that seemed tailor-made for Community Bingo! Miss Mitzi emerged as the fortunate winner. Overcome with emotion, she confessed that this was her first-ever win. Mitzi's excitement is difficult to overstate. Online shopping appears to be on the horizon!
