The meals at Queen of Peace are always well-planned, healthy and nutritious, but that doesn’t mean that treats are completely forbidden.
On August 16 the big Candy Salad Challenge kicked off with each Resident combining a bag of his or her favorite candy into a giant salad bowl. As they lined up, it was fun to see that some couldn’t resist sneaking a piece while they waiting their turn!
Not to be left out because, well, who doesn’t enjoy a piece of candy every now and again, staff members joined the queue with their favorite candy. Once all the candy was in the bowl, it was tossed like a giant green salad and passed around for all to share.
Residents were encouraged to expand their taste buds by choosing a candy that they may not have tried before announcing it a hit or miss. Mindful of dietary requirements, amounts were limited but It was a sweet reminder of a time when, as children, we all considered candy a major food group!
