I think it would be great to get recipies from the chefs at the centers...

I am not sure if I have room enough in my freezer for leftovers from a meal for 30 people though... I am going to have to get more chairs for my kitchen table.

Nothing like inviting some friends over to share a good meal.

Hello everyone, have you had lunch at the Cohen Center in Hallowell? The food is excellent and the staff and volunteers are helpful and friendly! They always have 2 great selctions with salad bar and dessert for a great price. I ran in to some old high school friends, what a great way to reconnect with old faces.

My favorite dessert recipe is low-fat, and no sugar:

Ingredients:
frozen strawberries
banana

Take the berries from the freezer 1/2 hour before serving. Put partially thawed berries into a blender with a banana, blend until smooth.

Instant strawberry sorbet!
