Halloween fun at Maplewood! 🎃👻
Our halls were filled with laughter, candy, and costumes as kids of staff, resident families, and volunteers joined us for a special trick-or-treat event. We also had a few furry friends in costume! Residents had a wonderful time handing out treats and seeing all the creative costumes. Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and bring a day filled with smiles!

HEALTHY & DELICIOUS EGGPLANT PARM
Volunteer, Mary Jane, treated residents to her homemade eggplant parmesan today during her "Cooking with Mary Jane" program. Her healthy take on a popular classic Italian dish got rave reviews! For this recipe, there's no breading or frying. The fresh eggplant (which Mary Jane purchases at a local farm stand) is baked in the oven.

Here's the recipe:
1 large eggplant
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup store-bought marinara sauce
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/4 grated cup parmesan

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut off and discard both ends of the eggplant and then cut into thin round slices. Place in single layer on baking sheet, mist the top with the cooking spray and lightly season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes (until eggplant is soft and golden brown).
Top each slice with about 1 TBSP sauce and 1 heaping TBSP mozzarella. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake for 5-10 minutes more until cheese is hot and bubbly. ENJOY!

Mary Jane adopted this recipe from Joy Bauer's "Junk Food Joy Food" cookbook.
