Meet Dorothy

How did this happen?
Dorothy's family put a plan together to help her stay healthy.
Adding 
Some Spice!

To win back those taste buds, Dorothy's daughter made a list of spices and foods for her.

Garlic
Vinegar
Bell Peppers
Cinnamon
Turmeric  
Change It Up
Substitute different ingredients to make meals new and fun!
Combine leftover meats and vegetables into one-dish casseroles. 
Omelettes are yummy
with spicy salsas. 
She loves to stay active.

Gardening Club
Her family lives far away.
They don't get to visit as often
 as they'd like.
Because they were worried, 
they took her to the doctor.
Dorothy wasn't 
receiving enough 
nutrients in 
her body. 

She was undernourished.
The doctor said...
Cooking for one person
is too much work.
Why am I doing this? 
Heck, I can't even taste this...
Food doesn't taste as good as it used to.

During their last visit over the holidays, they noticed there wasn't much food in the cupboards.
Dorothy had also lost some weight.
