Healthy Recipe

Peach and Blueberry Cobbler Peach and Blueberry Cobbler 


Ingredients
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    3 tablespoons canola oil
    1 cup whole-wheat flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup reduced-fat milk
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 ripe but firm peaches, (about 1 pound), pitted and sliced into eighths, or 3 1/2 cups frozen
    2 cups (1 pint) fresh or frozen blueberries

Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
    Place butter and oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Heat in the oven until melted and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
    Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add milk, sugar and vanilla; stir to combine.
    Add the melted butter mixture to the batter and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the hot pan. Spoon peaches and blueberries evenly over the batter.
    Return the pan to the oven and bake until the top of the cobbler is browned and the batter around the fruit is completely set, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Summer Safety Tips 
Summer Safety

   

Summer is a time for fun in the sun. But the increased free time for teens, can mean increased worry for parents. Here are some topics that all parents should discuss with their teens or young adults frequently. If your teen is properly educated, he or she is more likely to feel empowered to make good choices.  

 

  1. Discuss the consequences of not using sunscreen properly. Click here for more information on sunscreen  
  2. Review water safety guidelines. Remind your teen if caught in a rip current always swim parallel to shore! Click here for more ocean safety guidelines 
  3. Set boundaries for computer and internet usage and make sure to talk to your teens about cyber-bullying and internet predators. Click here for more details.  
  4. Remind your teen to always stick with a group. There really is safety in numbers!
  5. Educate your teen on the consequences of illegal drug use and underage drinking and the health effects they have on their body. For more information or advice contact WHAT behavioral health specialists Amy Valimont, Renee Crowgey, or Jeanne Hovis or call us 910-790-9949.

Health Education and Outreach  

Merchant EducationQuestion Why teens, spent the morning of Saturday, May 21st in Clinton and Sampson County educating merchants of all kinds. With Merchant Education, our teens educate any merchant who sells tobacco about the three laws of tobacco sale and their consequences if not adhered to. In Operation Storefront, the youth tallied the number of tobacco advertisements in a store, noted their location and checked to see their compliance with the new FDA regulations. Merchant Education and Operation Storefront are conducted because 90% of adult smokers started before the age of 18, therefore it is exceedingly important for tobacco not to be sold to minors.
