Join the Students of FSA 108 Healthy Cooking and Employee Wellness for a Mindful Lunch
MCC’s own Renee Dimino and Terry Shamblin will guide you through a reflective dining experience, as you enjoy a healthy vegetarian menu created and prepared by the students of the FSA 108 Healthy Cooking class. Mindful Eating is about focusing on the dining experience while you eat, including the colors, textures, and flavors of the delicious food. Dining in a non-distracting environment allows everyone to savor every bite of their meal and to consider their food choices while they eat. The vegetarian menu includes a Top-Your-Own Taco Bar, Pozole Verde Soup, Southwestern Corn Salad, Black Beans and Cilantro Lime Rice and Fresh Fruit Cups with Chamoy Sauce and Tajin.
To give you a sense of how our experience will unfold, here is the path we will be taking together:
- 12:00 to 12:05pm Arriving and settling in
- 12:05pm Meal Gatha and invitation to begin our buffet lunch in silence
- 12:05 to 12:30pm Mindful eating in silence
- 12:30 to 12:50pm Dessert and discussion of the experience of mindful eating
The lunch is on Friday, October 24, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm in Food For Thought (building 3 room 146).
Tickets are $5 per person and may be purchased at the Food For Thought restaurant through October 23, between 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., or by contacting the Hospitality Office at (585) 292-2542
