DIRECTIONS 1. Slice asparagus into one-inch diagonal pieces. Heat oil in a 10-inch, nonstick skillet, then sauté asparagus and scallions for 5 minutes. 2. Blend egg substitute, cheese and mint. Pour over asparagus and scallions in skillet, then cook on medium heat. Pull sides from the skillet gently to cook egg substitute throughout. 3. Once egg substitute mixture is cooked halfway through, cover skillet with lid and continue cooking until done. Use a spatula to divide it into thirds, turning each piece once. Serve immediately. In May 2016, the Hospital will begin a transformation celebration of several completed areas, reinforcing its commitment to putting children first. "Our focus is doing everything for our children and families," says Elias Neujahr, MBA, president of The Children's Hospital of San Antonio. "I'm a father of three boys who are my life, and I know how important it is that we give families the hope and guidance they need." Features of the transformation include: • Entrance and Goldsbury Foundation Lobby, featuring the names of our donors on the Wall of Honor • Santa Rosa Chapel. Centrally located fixtures near the entrance, a reminder to patients and families that this is a place of hope and healing. • Teaching Kitchen and Gardens to provide fresh produce and nutrition education for families • Healing and Play Gardens to support the spiritual needs of families in addition to giving children an outside space to play • Café with healthy food options for Associates, caregivers, families and visitors • The Najim Family Foundation Child Life Area to support our Child Life Specialists, who help children through every step of their care "This transformation is only possible through the generous partnership of our many donors, including the Goldsbury family," says John Bel, chief development officer and vice president of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa. "Just as the San Antonio River flows through the heart of the city, these donors have carried a spirit of hope and healing to the children served at The Children's Hospital of San Antonio."

Eating healthy and fresh foods has never been easier. "Eating produce when it is in season ensures that you are eating the food when it tastes the best," says Bethany Green, MPH, RD, LD, clinical dietitian at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – New Braunfels. "Keep it simple. Foods with a minimum number of ingredients on the label will generally be healthier for you." Bethany suggests putting the market to good use with this delicious asparagus frittata.
