1. TOUCHMARK AT HARWOOD GROVES
THE{FULL}LIFE
August 2014
Chefs compete in cook-off
Touchmark Executive Chef Joe Volske and
Sous Chef Elijah Waller went head-to-head in a
competitive cook-off.
Each chef made an entrée, one side dish, and a
dessert using mystery ingredients that included
one vegetable, one fruit, one spice, and one
“wild card” ingredient. Only 30 minutes before
the competition did the chefs learn the mystery
ingredients—jicama, kiwi, cilantro, and gluten-
free animal crackers!
Residents Betsy Fowler, Yvonne Green, and Don
Hogenson judged the dishes on a scale of one
to five for Execution (technique/presentation),
Formulation (ingredients/recipe), Interpretation
(creativity/use of mystery items), and Taste.
The judges loved all the dishes and decided the
competition was a tie!

Two IMPACT{FULL} fruits to add to your diet
Did you know that kiwis are full of fiber, antioxidants,
and have more vitamin C than a whole orange? Fiber
is one of the main components for colon health, and
Vitamin C is helpful in boosting the immune system.
Another winner: peaches! Packed with beta carotene,
lycopene, and lutein, this delicious fruit contributes
to eye health. These vitamins and minerals also help
prevent macular degeneration and improve vision
health by increasing circulation. Try these easy,
refreshing summer recipes:
Kickin‘ Kiwi Kooler
4 kiwis, skinned and chopped
1 cup guava nectar
1 tablespoon of frozen limeade
1 (6 ounce) container of low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 cup of ice
Pour ingredients in blender. Mix on high until
smooth. Pour in a cup, and enjoy!
Peach Cooler
2 cups of low-fat milk
2 cups of sliced peaches
½ tsp of lemon juice
Place ingredients in blender; mix on high until
smooth. Pour in cup, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Family first. Family fun!
The club is hosting a family swim night Friday,
Aug. 15 from 7 to 8:30 pm. Bring your children,
grandchildren, and/or great-grandchildren for an
open swim time followed by snacks and refreshments.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. RSVP at
the club front desk or call 701-526-1055 by Aug. 13.
Event is open to all club members for no charge.

Coming soon
New days and times for Hydro-Pilates classes are

3. CAPTURING DELIGHT{FULL} MOMENTS
Adele Swenson hosted
the second Taco in a Bag
Party with family, friends,
residents, and staff. She
supplied everything from the
tacos to s’mores. Her family
helped host and serve food.
Our environment, and how we feel
about it, can have a huge impact
on the way we feel. For many,
the first areas that come to mind
when we think of environmental
wellness are things like reducing
and conserving energy or reusing
and recycling practices. These
areas should be important to all of
us, and they are areas of focus for
Touchmark communities.
Another area to consider is the
impact and benefits that house
plants have on the environment
and our wellness. Research
at Kansas State University
(2006, Park, Seong-Hyun) on
indoor plants identified several
therapeutic benefits, including
reduced stress, lower heart rates
and blood pressure, decreased
pain medication, and less fatigue
and anxiety. Indoor plants also
add color and brighten mood,
moisturize and purify the air, and
sharpen focus and attention.
Some Touchmark communities
have outdoor gardens, which are
also beneficial for your body and
soul. Gardening is considered
a moderate to intense form of
exercise and uses all three types
of recommended activities—
endurance, flexibility, and
strength. Gardening also provides
people with a sense of personal
well-being through stress relief,
education, and the creation of
friendships.
Indoors and outdoors, plants offer
many benefits. Do you have a
green thumb? Would you consider
teaching others how to have a
green thumb? Share your thoughts
and ideas with your community’s
Life Enrichment/Wellness team.
Help us enhance environmental
wellness; consider adding indoor
plants to your home environment.
If you are interested in a list of
safe plants, send me an email at
FullLife@Touchmark.com.
