An Edible Tribute To The Front Line Of Healthcare

As the Labor Day holiday approaches, the Devault Kitchen Magician team decided to unveil some favorite Devault dishes.  The purpose is to share appreciation for those American workers who contribute every day to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country.  “Specific recipes and tips are being released to express our appreciation and gratitude for some of the hardest working men and women in the country”, says Brett Black, Chief Operating Officer. “They deserve our best offering for their Labor Day barbeque with family and friends.”

In this installment, the contributions made by healthcare workers are acknowledged.  Dedicated healthcare workers are possibly the most vital elements in the recovery or stability of a person’s health. A physician may make assessments and diagnoses, but the nurse, physician’s assistant, and other healthcare technicians are the ones who closely monitor and observe treatments given, as well as note the patient’s response to changes in medicines, therapy routines, and dietary restrictions.  Therefore the health and well-being of our society are firmly within the hands of these dedicated workers.

“The Kitchen Magician team felt that a fitting edible tribute should be delicious, healthy and simple to prepare.  These workers are on their feet caring for others all day.  This recipe needed to be simple and flexible.” continues Brett Black “This crockpot solution can be prepared in advance or sit in slow cooker while out at a parade, beach or lake.”

“The role of healthcare providers changed substantially over the last decade.  They are the frontline of care and support for the family.  The Devault Foods’ culture is rooted in family values and focused on creating a bright, healthy future.  Devault is working to create new products and services which will continue to bring the best taste and value to customers.  At this time, the Devault Foods family sends best wishes and taste to the dedicated healthcare workers and hopes they have a great Labor Day Weekend.” concludes Black.
