Added Support

Got your attention didn't we? You thought it was time for the semi-annual undies sale, didn't you? What we really meant was - it is time for another great New U support group next week. No sprinklers involved, we promise. Dr. Gracie Hargraves from Creekside Counseling will be our special guest speaker. Gracie is an expert in the area of emotional eating and a very entertaining speaker. Trust us, YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS! Plan now to attend:

New U Support Group

Emotional Eating - Dr. Grace Hargraves, LCPC, Ed.D

Thursday, August 27th, 7:00 pm

New U Classroom (note we will be meeting in the New U classroom not at the Cancer Center)

And while we are talking about support group, some of you have asked for the recipes not included on last months' Recipe of the Month handout.

Here is the recipe for the Pumpkin Hummus that Paula made:

2 Tablespoons Tahini (this is sesame seed paste, if you have trouble finding it peanut butter makes a good substitute)

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 Tablespoon olive oil

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

1 - 15 oz can pumpkin

4 cloves garlic

2 Tablespoons cilantro

Process in food processor or blender until smooth. Serve as a dip with fresh veggies.

And here is the recipe for the yummy Ranch dip that Kathryn brought:

5 cups small curd fat-free cottage cheese

2 pkts Ranch dressing mix

Blend well. Serve as a dip with fresh veggies.

Ok the deadline has passed but since we set it- we can change it!! Get us a copy of your favorite NEW U APPROPRIATE recipies so we can get a book together before the holidays.

See U next Thursday (or before for some!)
