SENIOR LIVING GUIDE | COMMUNITY<br />
Try Hosting ‘Family’ Dinners<br />
Food is often the<br />
heart of any<br />
community. Getting<br />
together to break<br />
bread allows for<br />
special time to form<br />
new relationships<br />
and nurture<br />
continuing bonds.<br />
This can be especially<br />
rewarding for seniors, who are<br />
at highest risk for eating<br />
alone. Hosting “family” dinners<br />
every week is a great way<br />
to not only chase away feelings<br />
of loneliness, but also<br />
beef up your recipe arsenal.<br />
SHARE MEALS<br />
Get your friends and neighbors<br />
together and begin hosting<br />
family dinners. You can<br />
decide to host every week, or<br />
you could set up a rotation so<br />
that others have the opportunity<br />
to host.<br />
You might even find that a<br />
group of you meet every week<br />
in the summer and hit the<br />
farmer’s markets together.<br />
SWAP RECIPES<br />
Hosting family dinners<br />
among your community also<br />
introduces you to new types<br />
of meals. Each week the dinner<br />
host could write out the<br />
recipes for each dish in the<br />
meal for guests to take home.<br />
You can plan menus in<br />
advance and post them in a<br />
communal area (or email<br />
them out) to boost excitement.<br />
Just be sure to be mindful<br />
of any allergies guests may<br />
have, and while not a requirement,<br />
it is thoughtful to avoid<br />
ingredients toward which any<br />
your “family” has strong aversions.<br />
FLEX YOUR<br />
‘IRON CHEF’ MUSCLES<br />
If you enjoy a little friendly<br />
competition, you might find<br />
that introducing some “Iron<br />
Chef” magic into your family<br />
dinners will add a new level of<br />
merriment among guests.<br />
Maybe once a month — after<br />
your weekly dinners have<br />
been well established — your<br />
group could organize a competition.<br />
Don’t be intimidated by odd<br />
ingredients. You could pick a<br />
well-known and well-liked<br />
dish, such as chili or spaghetti,<br />
and choose two members<br />
of your group for a cook-off.<br />
By choosing only two, you<br />
keep the amount of food limited,<br />
ensuring none is wasted.<br />
