At Tanner’s Café in Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton, we take great pride in the quality of food we serve. Hospital food doesn’t have to be bad!
One of our mottos is: if you wouldn’t serve it to your mother, then don’t serve it here!
Our goal for this blog is to keep you informed of our activities and the wonderful choices we have here at Tanner’s Café, as well as to share some of our favorite recipes, help you make good dietary choices and help you become as excited about cook and nutrition as we are.
Every day at our Italian station, you’ll find a wide variety of freshly prepared pizzas and calzones, and don’t forget to check out our Italian Baker. We have a different item prepared here daily.
Moving on down to the Expo station, you can have you meal made right in front of you! We offer a wide range of options, such as a complete vegetarian meal on our “meatless Mondays” and, coming soon, 500 calorie meals! No guessing needed; each meal will be served to you in the proper portions.
Deli, deli, deli! Order yourself a sandwich or wrap prepared just the way you want it! Don’t forget to try the meatball sub or Rueben prepared in our Panini press and served with warm German potato salad.
Some days we just need comfort food. Don’t miss the chance to have fried apple dumplings at our Tanner Grill. You also have the choice of any of our premade items—from turkey or veggie burgers to fried chicken sandwiches and sweet potato fries. Look for “fryless Friday” on our calendar, and you can have baked fries and chicken strips. Look for our daily special and don’t forget to ask for Ms. Ruth’s special sauce for dipping.
Just like mother made it! Our hot line offers three different entrée’s and four different veggies to choose from, all of our veggies are prepared with vegetable stock and contain absolutely no meat stock. You can also dip yourself a hot cup of soup. Choose from two soups every day.
And don’t forget the PIE—cherry, peach or apple! Which is your favorite? Not a pie fan? Try one of our other scrumptious desserts or yogurt parfaits!
We are always willing to help and assist with any needs or concerns that you may have.
When you stop by Tanner’s Café in Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton, feel free to ask for me, Kim McLendon, the retail/catering manager, or one of our supervisors: Kevin Danburg, Chad Welborn, Larry Echols or Debbie Cooper. We all will be more than happy to help you.
We look forward to serving you in Tanner’s Café. And we welcome your comments and suggestions, whether in person or here in the new Tanner Café Connection blog.
And finally, here’s a great fresh, low calorie frozen drink recipe just in time for spring and summer:
Lemon Watermelon Slush
1 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed, with pulp (from approximately 4 large lemons) 1/2 cup sugar 8 cups seeded, diced watermelon 30 to 40 ice cubes 2 tablespoons fresh mint for garnish
In a small saucepan, bring lemon juice and sugar to a boil. Stir until all sugar is dissolved and remove from heat. Chill syrup well. Blend watermelon in blender, in four batches. For each batch, place 2 cups of watermelon into blender, add 1/4 of the chilled lemon syrup, and blend until mixed well. Add ice cubes to blender one at a time, approximately 10 per batch, until mixture is thickened. Repeat for three remaining batches. Serve in chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mint. Makes 8 servings.
