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.

The Connection Between Aging, Exercise, and Healthy Lungs

Enjoying a long and healthy retirement requires taking good care of yourself. While many people focus on living a heart-smart lifestyle, taking proactive steps to maintain healthy lungs is essential, too. As we age, the lungs become weaker and less flexible. This can contribute to a variety of diseases and chronic health conditions. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute , lung-related illnesses are the 3rd leading cause of death in this country. That includes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma—adding up to nearly 235,000 deaths a year. Here are a few tips you can use to keep your lungs healthy: Stop smoking. Talk with your primary care physician about smoking cessation programs. Avoid secondhand smoke. Research shows it can be just as deadly as being a smoker. Stay away from harsh chemicals. It’s important to avoid breathing in damaging fumes (e.g., home cleaners and weed killers). Prevent infections. Many infections can lead to ...

Sleep in the Elderly: What is Normal?

If you are a caregiver for a senior, or even just have elderly people in your life, you may wonder about their sleeping habits. It sometimes seems that the elderly don’t need as much sleep as the average person. You may feel like the elderly in your life are sleeping a lot, or sleeping too much during the day. Unfortunately when it comes to sleep in the elderly, what is normal may not necessarily be what is healthy. Excessive sleep or daytime sleeping in the elderly are all related to sleep disorders and can be helped. How Many Hours of Sleep Does an Elderly Person Need? A pervading myth related to sleep claims that elderly adults need less sleep than the average adult. It’s not quite clear how this myth began. Perhaps because elderly adults tend to nap in the afternoons and sleep less during the night. Perhaps because the elderly tend to wake up earlier in the morning, it appears they do not need to sleep as much. Whatever the reason, it remains a myth. From the mid-’20s onward, do...
