Getting older can mean changes in nutritional needs.

It can also be a time when it is more difficult to eat the right balance of healthy foods. According to the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) this can be due to your body shape changing, you may be less physically active, or you may have less interest in food than before. These changes can result from illnesses or accidents, genetic patterns, or social, psychological, and economic factors. All this may have happened so gradually, you may not have even noticed over time.

With colder Wisconsin weather upon us, I thought I would share a healthy, comfort food recipe — Spoonable BLT Soup Recipe. This easy, 2-serving soup recipe is from Hungry Girl. To make it work, spinach is used for lettuce.

Ingredients:
2 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1 slice light bread
