In recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month, the Griffin Center for Healthy Living is helping individuals understand how to manage or prevent the condition with a free cooking demonstration.
Healthy Eating for Diabetes will be Tues., Nov. 25 from 5-6:15 p.m. at the Griffin Center for Healthy Living Teaching Kitchen, Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road, Oxford.
Griffin Health Chef Mike Rizzio will lead a cooking demonstration of Spaghetti Squash Stir Fry with Chicken and Vegetables. This colorful stir-fry swaps noodles for roasted spaghetti squash, creating a lower carb base that’s hearty and satisfying. Paired with lean chicken breast, a medley of crisp vegetables, and a savory-sweet sesame soy sauce, this plate is packed with plenty of nutritious fiber and protein.
Opened in 2020, the Griffin Center for Healthy Living is a unique facility in which Griffin Health partners with the community in wellness – offering education, guidance and assistance in preventing and managing chronic disease, and promoting overall well-being. The Center is part of Griffin’s mission to empower individuals to make choices that change their lifestyles for the better, and embodies Griffin’s goal to not only care for individuals when they are not well, but to build a meaningful relationship, guide, and coach them to maximize their quality of life.
