Recipes from our own chefs & guest contributors
Freshly Made Basil Vinaigrette  |
Tall Paul's quick and tasty meatballs
1 lb ground meat (turkey or could substitute beef, pork and or venison ) 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs 1 egg 1 cup Parmesan & Romano cheese 1 small can of tomato paste Garlic or Onion to chopped fine to taste
Mix it all up thoroughly - roll the meat balls about the size of a golf ball, pan brown in olive oil turning as needed so as not to burn (or toast in the oven on low broil) Add to your favorite simmering sauce and cook till done through.
(Don't have a favorite sauce - here is one that is loaded with flavor and good stuff - its a meal by itself):
1 large can of chopped stewed tomatoes 1 large can of tomato sauce 1 medium can of tomato paste 1 optional whole roasted head of garlic or 2 cloves of (thin sliced, smashed or chopped garlic) 1 chopped onion 1 chopped green pepper 1 chopped red pepper Italian seasoning to taste ( or a teaspoon ) Hot pepper flakes to taste (or a half teaspoon ) Salt or substitute salt to taste (half teaspoon) Fresh ground pepper (half teaspoon)
OK, so chop and sauté all the vegetables (except the garlic) but not all the way thru - add all the seasonings - add the garlic - and don't let the garlic get brown. Add the paste, let it get heated up with all of this goodness, then add the sauce & stewed tomatoes slowly so as not to cool down the other stuff. Bring to a slow boil (if you are cooking meatballs add them now) then turn down to simmer for 45 minutes. Serve over pasta, or as meatball sandwiches etc. Top with fresh basil and or grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.......add a batch of garlic bread.......Enjoy ! Should be enough for a family meal or two. "It works if you work it, so work it 'cause your worth it !"

( FamilyHealingStrategies@gmail.com 802 236 0145) Recognizing that family members often live in a state of stress and anxiety, she provides participants with tools they need to become & remain healthy. She does this by addressing how to set healthy boundaries,
talking about recognizing and reducing enabling behaviors. She also reviews
acceptance and knowledge of the disease to help family members promote
change within themselves. Diana is a force of clear speech, logic and loving
acceptance ~ moving families forward to engage in behaviors which aid in the
recovery process.There is a reduced fee for WPRC families for this workshop but
the workshop is open to the public. For more info, send an email to
If there is enough interest in these workshops being held on a different day per month,
Investment: $150/ person for general public, $100/ person is for the workshop for families of Webster residents.
It is the best investment you can make towards understanding the disease of addiction, signs, symptoms, how to
support and not enable, and how to create a supportive recovery environment.The number of participants in each
workshop is limited, and we encourage you to make your reservation as soon as possible.
"Dealing with addiction in my family is not easy, but after spending the day with you,
it has become demystified in a way that coping and healing strategies have become viable.
You have a gift for delivering potentially life saving, certainly life changing, information in a
way that is clear, powerful, poignant and honest..." David
Other services offered by Diana include
Support groups for families Boundary coaching Family assessment Family system consulting

"There came a time when the risk to
remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to
blossom." -- Anais Nin
From the Big Book of AA:
"Above everything, we alcoholics must be
rid of this selfishness. We must, or it kill us! God makes that possible. And there often seems no way of entirely getting rid of self without His aid. Many of us had moral and philosophical convictions galore, but we could not live up to them even though we would have liked to."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, How It Works, pg. 62~
From the NA basic text:
Surrendering self-will
"Our fears are lessened
and faith begins to grow as we learn the true meaning of surrender. We
are no longer fighting fear, anger, guilt, self-pity, or depression." Basic Text, p. 27
