As we are in the month of May, we are quickly approaching the summer. Summer is a time for longer evenings and lots of sunshine. The beautiful flowers are starting to bloom and the grass is getting greener. The weather this time of year is a lot more enjoyable to spend outside.

Today, May 21st, is National Wait Staff Day! All of us have been to restaurants where the waiter or waitress may have been clumsy or made a few mistakes.
May 20th is Strawberry Picking Day! What a great time to get out in the sun and enjoy a mouth-watering healthy snack. While reading about strawberries I found that Native American’s called strawberries “heart seed berries”. The Native Americans would often mix these heart berries with corn meal bread and as a result creating a classic dessert, Strawberry Shortcake. So enjoy the sun, family and friends with this pleasing healthy Strawberry Shortcake recipe today!
Summer is soon approaching and it is very important that you know the day your meals will arrive. Make sure you make arrangements for your delivery day. It is best to transfer them into your freezer as soon as you get them. Everyone should have a marked calendar that shows the date of your delivery. If you don’t have a calendar, please contact us and we will mail you one. Thank you!

Recently, we have had many inquires about gluten free meals. Currently, Homestyle Direct offers five different gluten free meals. These meals exclude wheat, barley, rye and oats that have come in contact with other grains during storage or processing. One of our most popular gluten free meals is Salmon Almandine. This meal contains a wild caught Atlantic filet of salmon that is glazed with a delicious roasted red pepper pesto and sprinkled with slivered almonds. This meal is also served with parboiled white rice and our stir fry vegetable blend. Try one today!
In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962. National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
National Police Week 2013 will be Sunday, May 12th through Saturday, May 18th.
Since May of 1963, our country has celebrated the inspiration and wonderful contribution that our older Americans have made to our great nation. Even more importantly, we need to recognize the personal value and the influence of our own family members and friends of that great generation. Be determined this month set some quite time aside to pause and reflect on an older adult that has been a part of your life. Be grateful for what their life has meant to yours. Better yet, take the time share with them what their life has meant to you.
