American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Tarzana

This month is American Heart Month. A-1 Home Care will be posting awareness information about heart health across our blogs these upcoming weeks. A very important part of heart health and overall body wellness is blood pressure. Good heart health care tactics goes a long way to combating the epidemic of blood pressure issues that has plagued America in the past few decades.

If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure (a systolic pressure — the top number — of 140 or above or a diastolic pressure — the bottom number — of 90 or above), you might be worried about taking medication to bring your numbers down.

Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you may avoid, delay or reduce the need for medication.

A-1 Home Care provides services for families living in the cities of Tarzana, Beverly Hills, Van Nuys, Burbank, Encino, Calabasas and Sherman Oaks. We look forward to meeting with you and have friendly live in caregivers happy to interview asap! Be sure to check out our brand new Facebook!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a celebration of bountiful harvests and food, and no one better celebrates that than America. Our staff have warm memories of sitting around the family table surrounded by generations of relatives. We hope you enjoy your holiday season this year.

We hope you have a chance to try out lighter and healthier holiday recipes this year. A-1 Home Care specifically recommends:

INGREDIENTS

3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced, cut into ribbons
2 cups onion, chopped
2 cups diced fennel bulb
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
8 cups stale baguette, preferably multi-grain (not sourdough), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 Bosc pears, ripe but firm, chopped
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto; cook, stirring, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
Wipe out the pan and heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, fennel and shallot and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add sage, thyme and rosemary and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Transfer everything to a large bowl and gently stir in bread, pears, parsley, hazelnuts and the prosciutto. Add broth; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the stuffing into the prepared baking dish; cover with foil.
Bake for 40 minutes; remove the foil and bake until the top is beginning to crisp, 25 to 30 minutes more.
