Baking With A Purpose

While staying at home, grab your activity partner and do some baking with a healthy purpose!  When is the last time you baked some goods for a friend or family member?  Baking can support one’s sensory quality of life needs as well as being therapeutic for one’s physical and mental well-being.  Using a recipe that is healthy can also make one feel that they are contributing to their health in a positive way.  Together with your activity partner look up a recipe and gather the necessary ingredients.  During the activity stop and have a short discussion about the food items used and how they could be beneficial to one’s health. After the goodies have been baked, take a moment to savor the smell and taste mindfully and then share your thoughts and share your treats!
