4 Ingredient Bagels: 1 cup spelt flour; 2 tsp baking powder; 3/4 tsp salt; 1 cup 0% Fat Greek yogurt; 1 egg, beaten. Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Add Greek yogurt and mix. Combine and form a dough ball. Lightly sprinkle a clean surface and knead your dough about 15 turns. Divide the dough ball into 4 equal parts and roll each ball out on a clean surface to form a rope about 3/4 inch thick. Join the ends together to form your bagel and repeat with the rest of the balls. Brush each bagel with egg wash and sprinkle with seasoning. Bake for 25 minutes. Enjoy!

Making New Holiday Traditions
The first holiday season after a move to a senior community can sometimes be stressful and difficult for your senior loved one. Creating new traditions can help with the transition and make the holiday season less stressful for everyone. Although your family holiday events may have been held at your senior loved one’s home in the past, holding gatherings at another family member’s home going forward can make things easier. Have your senior loved one help with one or two tasks that keep them involved without overwhelming them, and take advantage of the many fun holiday events this season!

Wintering the Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May
Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered.

Sharing a Meal Improves Mental Wellbeing
Eating with others involves nutrition and socialization, which is a great combination. When we choose to bond over a meal with another person, we are making key connections in our brain that help us regulate our emotions, and the release of oxytocin is known to aid in the digestion of foods as well – it’s win-win!
