Another fun-filled and successful MUM session was held on February 15th, 2011. The theme was Vegetarian Valentine! Fiery Squash Chili and Mushroom-Gouda Melts were served along with Red Velvet Cake for dessert. Eight moms and two volunteers from Highbanks Society attended the session. JLC member, Dani Flowerday, introduced the potential health benefits of some of the ingredients used (eg. beans, tomatoes, herbs and spices). She also stressed the importance of building strong bones at an early age and distributed and worked with the moms on the Calcium Calculator, a worksheet that calculates the daily intake of calcium from the foods we eat. The moms also took home a whisk and garlic press as gifts for this session.
