The Sunshine Club enjoyed its first experience with a professional chef on March 17 in the state-of-the-art remodeled kitchen in Clubhouse 3, Room 9.

Chef Jackie Nabong from Chefs for Seniors made excellent use of the kitchen equipment in her presentation to the club.

Jackie planned to prepare two items: pumpkin spice overnight oats and chicken wild rice soup from the Chefs For Seniors recipe collection. She surprised the group by making one more delightful fish: a cauliflower taco dish. The Sunshine Club got to taste all of the dishes as lunch snacks.

Jackie also brought Roy Bailey to give the group a brief presentation of nutrition for seniors, along with Susan Ramirez, who is a culinary student with an expertise in plants.

It was a fun class to share with 50 people who had RSVPed to the event. The Sunshine Club hopes to have Chefs for Seniors back next year.

Betty Verhoon (l-r), Ann Frambach, Monica Grundmann, Lillian Silva, Susan Roberage and Barbara Simunsza enjoyed Chef Jackie Nabong's meal cooked for Sunshine Club members.
