Time to get sloppy! I am finally sharing one of my all time favorite recipes from my favorite blogger, Lillie Eats and Tells. The Sloppy Joe Skillet has become a staple in my house. You would never guess it's loaded with veggies, uses ground turkey in place of beef, and takes your Sloppy Joe to the next level!

Donate to Senior Center
Mr. James Hartsfield, Area Agent, Small Farm Management, and Mr. Walter Adams, Agricultural & Natural Resources Technician II with Duplin County Extension Center collected and donated canned goods and other non-perishable items. These items were given to the senior center in support of "Small Farms Week".
Mr. Tom Hroza, Extension Agent, Agriculture/Horticulture provided some handouts, “You Are What You Eat” and the “The Fun of Food Gardening”. These materials will encourage and promote eating local foods which build healthy bodies and healthy communities.
The agency is very appreciative of the canned goods and non-perishable items given to the senior center.
Support group meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 2, 2021) at 6:00 p.m. at senior center.

Do you love peanut butter? If so… today is YOUR day! Peanut butter is such a versatile food. It can be served at any meal or snack time. Peanut butter on toast for breakfast. Peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. Turned into a peanut sauce for dinner. Spread on apple or banana slices for a snack. Sadly, with the high increase in dangerous peanut allergies over recent decades, lots of children have grown up without knowing the taste of peanut butter. HAPPY PEANUT BUTTER LOVER’S DAY!

This morning, we had a visit from Duplin County Senior Games Ambassador, Mr. Rudolph Becton. He came by to drop off his application for the Neuse River Senior Games competition scheduled April 17 – May 7, 2021. Mr. Becton is such a treasure and encourager for staff and seniors. Competition this year will look different, however, it still will happen in New Bern, N.C. The deadline to register is Friday, March 12, 2021. Mr. Becton asked that we share his words to our community. “I want our seniors to participate and represent Duplin County. We can beat this pandemic. Don’t sit at home as your health will only get worse. We can participate in select events safely”. For more information contact the senior center at 910-296-2140.

Wanting to up the veggies at breakfast? Try this Turkey Bacon and Spinach Quiche from the American Heart Association. The crust is made from grated sweet potatoes in place of pastry crust to slash the calories and adds a touch of subtle sweetness to the quiche. You may even want to have breakfast for dinner after you try this!

Thank you, Mrs. January Brown, Family Caregiver Specialist, Eastern Carolina Council Area Agency on Aging for the delivery this morning. The “fidget” squares are beautifully crafted and will be a “special” gift for our caregivers and their loved ones. The additional resource books and journals are an awesome way to record information for safe keeping and sharing with family members.

What is your definition of “love”? Love is shown in kindness. Love is providing a meal. Love is service to others. Every day we are reminded of opportunities to show love and kindness. As we approach Valentine’s Day, let us remember to show even more love to others. This morning, love and kindness was shown to our staff. It is going to be a great day.

The seniors participating in the meal delivery or meal pick-ups will receive the paper copy survey. If you need assistance to complete the survey, you can call the senior center at 910-296-2140.
The Ombudsman Program developed a community survey to assist with the Area Agency on Aging’s community needs project. The survey asked questions related to long-term care, family caregiver support, evidence-based programs, and volunteerism. The survey was distributed region-wide to service providers, senior service recipients, and other stakeholders in the senior services community. The results of the survey will be used to show county leadership the services that may be lacking in their communities and to assist them with making informed programmatic decisions.
