Southbrook Care Center

Today is National Strawberries and Cream Day!!! We are celebrating here at Southbrook Care Center with the perfect spring snack!

Here’s some fun facts and ideas from https://www.punchbowl.com/holidays/national-strawberries-and-cream-day:

Today is National Strawberries and Cream Day! The simple combination of fresh sliced strawberries and homemade whipped cream has been a popular dish for centuries. In fact, in medieval England it was customary for newlyweds to enjoy strawberries and soured cream for their wedding breakfast.

The strawberry is the first fruit to ripen every spring and each refreshing bite contains high levels of Vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, and potassium. If you’re feeling experimental, there are many interesting variations on the classic strawberries and cream recipe. Try substituting a combination of fat-free sour cream and brown sugar instead. For a more elaborate dessert, put together a trifle with alternating layers of fruit, cream, and a sweet pastry such as ladyfinger cookies. For more ideas, check out recipes for stuffed strawberries.

To celebrate National Strawberries and Cream Day, pick up some fresh strawberries and make a delicious snack of strawberries and cream at home!

In Honor of Veterans Day this week we want to make a special Resident Spotlight. Benny is our Southbrook Greeter. He always has something to say and usually some kind of candy or snack in his hand. Benny was in WWII and Vietnam. We owe so much to our Veterans and their families. Thank you for your service to us and our Country. We are proud that you call Southbrook Home.

November 11th is Veterans Day. But today We say happy birthday to the Marines.
