MEET JENN!

Jenn has a special way of making everyone feel welcome. With a big smile, a warm hug, and her favourite phrase, “Let’s have coffee,” she reminds us of the importance of connection and friendship.

Jenn has a calming spirit and a heart for helping others. She brings kindness, joy and positivity wherever she goes.

When she’s not enjoying a coffee with friends, Jenn loves attending SAS meetings, spending time with her family, and playing with her beloved dog, Milo.

She also loves travelling and proudly holds the title of Queen of Cruising the High Seas, having enjoyed adventures on cruises to San Diego and Alaska.

Jenn enjoys playing mini golf, bowling, and Mahjong on her iPad.

She is passionate about music and loves attending church, where she sings her heart out.

Jenn’s kindness and joyful spirit brighten the lives of everyone around her.

We are so grateful to know her and celebrate the wonderful person she is.

The UNITI kitchen was smelling amazing this week!

Our Healthy Cooking Class made High Protein Cottage Cheese Bagels. This one is a real winner!

Makes 6 servings:

Ingredients:

1 cup low fat cottage cheese

2 tablespoons sour cream

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus additional for working with dough

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium green onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1 large egg

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cottage cheese and sour cream to a food processor. Pulse until smooth.

Place cottage cheese mixture in a bowl. Add flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, green onion, and Cheddar cheese.

Using a large spoon, mix the ingredients together to form a dough. The dough will be very sticky and will take some time to incorporate. Sprinkle on more flour if needed to pull it together.

Turn dough mixture out onto a floured surface. Dust hands with flour and knead the dough until it holds together, 3 to 4 minutes.

Divide dough into 6 pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Make a hole in the center of each bagel with a finger or blunt end of a kitchen knife.

Beat egg in a small dish. Using a pastry brush, brush egg on top of each bagel. Try not to let the egg drip onto the baking sheet as this can cause sticking.

Sprinkle on your favorite toppings. You can use flaked onion, minced garlic or you can buy some Everything Bagel seasoning.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then rotate the baking pan. Bake until golden brown, about 5 more minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Enjoy!

We work hard and play harder! 💙🌈

At UNITI, we are serious about inclusion, advocacy, and creating opportunities for people of all abilities. But we also know how to celebrate, laugh, and have a great time together!

Our Annual Picnic was a day filled with BBQ, games, music, smiles, and plenty of moments that reminded us what community is all about. It was a chance to come together, have fun, and celebrate the incredible people who make UNITI so special.

A huge thank you to our staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters who helped make the day possible. Your energy and enthusiasm helped create a welcoming space where everyone could relax, connect, and enjoy themselves.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to make memories, build friendships, and have a little fun. 💙
