Food for thought - Red, White, and Blue Potato Salad Recipe Ingredients: 2 cups finger ling potatoes, halved lengthwise (about 10 ounces),
2 cups small red potatoes, quartered (about 10 ounces), 2 cups small blue
potatoes, halved lengthwise (about 10 ounces), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion,
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1
tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 3 hard-cooked large eggs, finely chopped, 1/4
cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons
Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
1. Place fingerling and red potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to
a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool
slightly. Place potatoes in a large bowl.
2. Place blue potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes or until
tender. Drain; cool slightly. Add blue potatoes, onion, parsley, dill, chives, and eggs to bowl; toss gently.
3. Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients. Pour over potato mixture; toss gently to combine. Serve warm, at
room temperature, or chilled.
4. Note: Blue potatoes are starchier than the others and tend to bleed, so cook them separately. If you need to,
prepare this dish a day ahead, but add the blue potatoes just before serving. If your potatoes are larger than the
ones we call for, cut them to a uniform size.
Conway Recreation Center Success Story - Heather Burke “Hi my name is Heather Burke, and I am proud to
be a part of the Conway Recreation Center “Fit
Family”- I had the opportunity to feature my
weight loss journey in July 2013. My actual FIT
journey began in January 2012. To date I have
lost a total of 220 pounds!!!! I could not have been
as successful with my weight loss goals on my
own. The CRC offered me such encouragement
and help with reaching my personal best!!!
Since my first feature in the July 2013 Newsletter I
have lost an additional 45lbs!! I have earned each
pound of weight loss with much determination and
SWEAT!!! I love to attend my favorite fitness clas-
ses with : Jennifer Sautter, Victoria Lambert, Cas-
sie Weir, Ade Mubarak, Liz Wood, Chasity Samu-
els and Ashley McMullen. I have added some new classes that have been added to the group fitness schedule: PiYo,
Spontaneous Combustion, Indoor Cycle, and Turbo/Cardio Kick . I encourage anyone to join these classes at any-
time, they are filled with fun and challenge!!!
Within the past year I have also been a participant in three 5k runs with great friends I have met at the CRC. I have
a goal for a local 5k in November of this year. The CRC is my second home, I have far surpassed my initial weight
loss goal, and now I am focusing on my strength. Most importantly I am focusing on MAINTAINING my HEALTHY
lifestyle with my “Fit Family” at the Conway Recreation Center!!!!!!!!!

Carmel Color - Made from the chemical caramel, is purely cosmetic, it
doesn’t add flavor yet is tainted with carcinogens.

aspartame, it will break down into two (2) amino acids and methanol
that equals formic acid (formaldehyde is in diet sodas).
High fructose corn syrup is a concentrated form of sugar, fructose
derived from corn. It increases body fat, cholesterol and triglycerides
