???? What an incredible plant-based cooking demo we had yesterday led by our amazing Registered Dietitian, Laurie! ??? Laurie guided us through making mouthwatering black bean burgers that were an absolute hit! ???? We also enjoyed a vibrant arugula salad with olives, feta, and fresh dill – sensational! ???? As a special treat, we used Cherokee Summer Crisp lettuce from our hydroponic garden at the West Suburban YMCA! ?? This crisp, fresh lettuce was a star in our salad, and participants were able to take home freshly picked parsley, chives, and lettuce. ?????? Plus, everyone had a chance to be hands-on in the kitchen and assemble their own fruit salads, topped with a tangy poppy seed dressing that took the flavor to the next level. ?????? A huge thanks to Laurie for her expertise and passion. You made healthy eating not just informative but also fun and delicious! ?? You can catch Laurie and Clancy next month in the New Berlin teaching kitchen as they lead a demo on Sheet Pan Meals: https://bit.ly/3WIqrwB

Continuing education is essential in cancer care, ensuring professionals stay updated with the latest research and best practices. Recently, at the YMCA of Greater Waukesha County, we had the privilege of learning from our very own Lauren Phillips, an Exercise Physiologist with expertise in cancer exercise through her work with the CURE program at Carroll University. Lauren provided invaluable guidance on the importance of exercise for cancer survivors in our LIVESTRONG program. We also received information on nutrition and cancer from Juan, a student at Mount Mary University completing his dietetics internship with the YMCA of Greater Waukesha County's healthy living department. Together, Lauren and Juan delivered an impactful presentation that will benefit all our LIVESTRONG instructors and staff members interested in enhancing their knowledge of exercise protocols for cancer patients.
