Holiday Shopping! Transitions welcomes the season of giving! All cohorts have the chance to participate in holiday shopping trips to various destinations throughout the city and beyond, including the Columbus Circle Holiday Market, Staten Island Empire Outlets, Queens Center Mall, and Newport Centre Mall. During these trips, students had the opportunity to buy a gift for a friend, family member, or their secret person for our upcoming holiday gift exchange. Let's Make Moves! From group sports old and new, to free time and team building challenges we have been making moves all semester! We utilize all the wonderful public spaces NYC has to offer including parks, piers, and schoolyards in order to safely exercise together, get some fresh air, and get our bodies moving. Above Video: Dorsey cohort playing steal the bacon! A Taste of the Tropics! So it's another week and I am sure you're all wondering what we've been up to in the Mindful Nutrition kitchen. Well...a lot! Students continue to enjoy preparing easy recipes from other cultures that they can recreate at home with families. This week we took a flavor trip to the Tropical island of Jamaica to try festivals. (yes, it is a party in your mouth!). Festival is a pretty easy but delicious side dish that is usually paired with the famous jerked chicken or escovitch fish, which is fried fish dressed with slivers of carrots, onions and bell-peppers cooked in a spicy vinegary sauce. Festival can be compared to a sweet fried dumpling which has cornmeal as its main ingredient. In class, we paired it with sweet plantains (maduros) and some chicken. We've attached the recipe below, just in case you also crave a taste of the Tropics during this chilly season.
