Hello dear friends of Matt,

After Matt and Beth’s unexpected 15 day long journey, Matt was discharged from the hospital in Fort Lauderdale today. He is recuperating at a hotel with plans to return home on Monday when his chest will be strong enough to handle flying. He’s doing well. Beth will post photos soon so you can see for yourselves!

I am a longtime friend of Beth and huge fan of Matt. As Matt recovers from his heart surgery, he will need some specific types of nutritious food to help with healing. The recovery process always takes longer than we want it to, but it is made more tolerable by all of the love that you are sharing. Rather than preparing meals ourselves to take to Matt and Beth when they return to Minnesota, we have compiled a list of places where they can order food from to meet Matt’s dietary needs. When they first return home and are getting their bearings, it would be great for them to have pre-made meals delivered. I have provided links to gift cards for each of the places that would work well below if you would like to help them out during this huge transition. There are also links for meal-prep kits and grocery delivery, which will help a lot to make meal planning easier. Please send gift cards to: bethanault@gmail.com 

Also, Matt and Beth would love to collect easy, tasty, heart-healthy, diabetes-friendly recipes to add to their collection. If you have recipes to share, please email them to me at gingersnapcarroll@gmail.com and I will compile them into a recipe book.
