Happy Holidays from Your Local Food Bank

We were lucky enough to be invited to our local Food Bank for a visit. In addition to a reminder of the great work they do to help out neighbors in need.

For this holiday season, the SF-Marin Food Bank has provided a seasonal recipe:

Microwave Fruit Crisp

Ingredients

2 cups diced or sliced fruit
2 tablespoons soft butter or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons whole wheat glout
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds (optional)

Directions:

1. Place fruit in microwave safe dish. Use a dish that is wide enough so that the fruit is about 1 inch deep in the bottom.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together butter/oil, oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nuts.

3. Sprinkle the mixture over the fruit.

4. Microwave on high 1-5 minutes or until fruit is as tender as you like it.

We hope that you reach out to your local food bank to volunteer or otherwise offer your support.

Wishing you a Happy Holiday season!
