What's for Lunch?

Written by: Kate Snyder, Development and Donor Communications Coordinator

When you think of Meals on Wheels, what kind of food comes to mind? Be honest. I confess that before working here, I pictured dry chicken breasts and limp green beans and always felt a bit bad for people who "had" to get Meals on Wheels.

If that's your mental image, too, it's time for a readjustment! The menu for EECM's Meals on Wheels program is excellent, featuring fresh foods and a wide variety of flavors. Here's an example:

Baked Penne with Creamy Cheese Sauce, Tomatoes and Zucchini

Tossed Salad (Romaine Lettuce, Onions, Green Peppers, Radishes, Cucumber and Croutons) with Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Honey Wheat Bread

Raspberry Sorbet

Let me just say, that meal sounds noticeably better than what I brought along for my lunch!
