Fall Recipes: Cooking at Home During Quarantine

With summer coming to an end many of us are excited and making way for fall weather, pumpkin spice flavors, and autumn meals. We at Freedom Home Care are also excited, so we have put a list of fall recipes together that we think you all will love!

While COVID-19 is still taking place, we found meals that are healthy for you and taste like fall in the comfort of your own home.

Acorn Squash

 The squash is healthy and full of fiber plus, its size makes it far easier to cut open and work with. It can be dressed up either savory or sweet and served as individual halves for the cutest presentation.

To spice up the squash drizzle olive oil and paprika or curry powder. Looking to fulfill your sweet tooth? Brush the quash with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. When you roast it in the oven for about an hour, the squash turns to the perfect texture.

Apple Spiced Pancakes

Yes, you heard that right! This recipe takes a new spin on a fresh stack of pancakes in the morning. Top off the apple spiced pancakes with a sticky, cinnamon-scented apple paste. These pancakes are so sweet you don’t even need syrup!

Chicken Fricassee

This creamy white wine, mushroom and tomato sauce tastes so good that you’ll want to put it on everything you make! It is the perfect warm meal on a chilly fall night. Grilled chicken is this dish’s perfect pair.

The best part about this, besides the flavor, is it only takes about 10 minutes to prep and 45 minutes to cook!

Pumpkin Soup

You can’t have fall without pumpkin! Not only is this recipe super healthy for you, but it also keeps you warm and cozy on a chilly night. Curl up on the couch with a bowl of this soup and your favorite fall films.

We hope you all enjoy these recipes and start off your fall cooking some great food with your family! Follow our blog for homecare tips, in-home care, and all things senior care.

For Family Caregivers, A New Year’s Resolution Can Inspire Your Best Year Yet

If you are among the 8% of Americans who actually accomplish their New Year’s resolution goals , well done! However, if you are like the majority of us, you’ve given up prior to even turning the calendar page to February. Although it is undoubtedly commendable to attempt to better ourselves by resolving to lose 10 pounds or with healthier living, for busy family caregivers, there are truly meaningful, achievable goals that will improve life all through the year. Consider these recommendations: Find joy. Looking after somebody else is a labor of love, but can also bring about challenges, which makes it hard to concentrate on the daily benefits that spark joy. Devote some time on a daily basis to pause and discover a reason to smile. Bring a sense of humor to your daily caregiving tasks, sharing laughter together with your loved one. Enjoy the feeling of the sunlight shining through the window as you’re folding laundry. And make time to call someone who lifts your spirits for a brief...

Dads and Pops: Your Good Health Matters to Us 

Did you know  June is  Men’s Health Month  and Father’s Day anchors Men’s Health Week ?   Celebrate dad on Father’s Day and thank him for all he  has  done, but  also  make sure to seize an opportunity sometime this month to have a conversation with him about his health. This awareness campaign has the critical purpose of informing men   that avoiding preventive healthcare puts them at real and serious risk of  contracting a disease or  acquiring  a chronic condition.   Studies consistently  show the numbers go against men , particularly as they advance into their senior years.   Even with dramatic advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past 100 years, men’s life expectancy still lags significantly behind women. According to  Harvard Health ,  the gap is widening. In 1900, the life expectancy for women was 48.3 years vs. 46.3 for men. In 2017, it was 81.1 years for women vs. 76.1 for men. Harvard...

How Does Caregiving Stress Affect Your Career?

Lots of caregivers believe that the stress they experience as a part of caregiving is something that they only experience in that situation. But stress doesn’t care where you are or what you’re doing. If you ignore it, you’ll find the effects of stress following you even to your career and that can be bad for multiple reasons. Stress Is Everywhere Stress is a normal part of life. It’s literally everywhere and it takes the form of both “good” stress and “bad” stress. So-called good stress makes you alert to dangers and can keep you from making mistakes that could prove harmful to you. Bad stress is stress that takes a toll on you mentally and physically. It’s a result of being hypervigilant for too long. Stress Doesn’t Stay in Categories Something else to understand about stress is that it doesn’t stay boxed up neatly. Your stress as a caregiver will flow into the rest of your life, including your career and your other relationships, unless you take steps to manage it appropriat...
