At Monarch ILS, we believe that mastering the kitchen is a major step toward independence.

This week, Claire and Raquel took the lead and prepared a classic Italian dinner!

🍝 The Recipe
Mix: 1 lb ground beef, 1 beaten egg, ¼ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parmesan, ¼ cup chopped onion, 2 tsp garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Shape: Roll into 1 ½-inch balls.
Bake: 17–20 minutes at 400°F (flip 'em halfway!).
Serve: Pair with your favorite noodles and marinara!

Success never tasted so good. Way to go, Claire and Raquel!

Friendly reminder: Our offices are closed today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. 🕊️

Did you know? At birth, Dr. King was named Michael King. His father later changed his name to Martin Luther King Jr. after being inspired by the Protestant reformer Martin Luther during a trip to Germany.

We will resume normal business hours tomorrow!
