Join us in commemorating Juneteenth, a significant milestone in American history that symbolizes Black Americans' resilience and rich cultural heritage. On June 19th, we pay tribute to the emancipation of Texas slaves, a momentous event that occurred two years after Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. This day holds a special place in our history, and food has always been a central part of Juneteenth celebrations. Early celebrants gathered for shared meals and community picnics, with red foods and drinks dominating the tables. These red items symbolize the blood shed by Black Africans and Black Americans during the slave trade, underscoring the enduring strength of the community. Watermelon, strawberries, barbeque, and red velvet cake are among the traditional favorites.

The culinary heritage of America stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit and ingenuity of enslaved Americans. The transatlantic slave trade introduced a diverse range of crops and cooking techniques that have since become the foundation of Southern cuisine. Our foodways are a vibrant celebration of the resilience and creativity of once-enslaved people, a fusion of flavors and techniques that continue to thrive in today's diverse culinary landscape.

To better understand Juneteenth's food, we recommend exploring Nicole A. Taylor's 'A Cookbook for Juneteenth and Black Celebrations.' Her insights and recipes provide a rich and flavorful journey into the heart of this celebration. To savor the stories behind these dishes, tune in to her interview on Heritage Radio Network's podcast, 'A Taste of the Past. '' https://shorturl.at/gwjwL

In April, we celebrate Earth Day, which reminds us of the importance of investing in our planet and working towards a more sustainable future. At Maine Course, we believe in supporting our community and doing our part to lessen our environmental impact. That's why we've partnered with Vertical Harvest, an urban hydroponic farm producing fresh, local food year-round and providing jobs to underserved populations. Join us at the Maine Course table in your dining hall when we visit this month for some fresh, vertically grown micro-greens and learn what Maine Course and Vertical Harvest are doing to positively impact the environment. #MaineCourse #VerticalHarvestFarms #earthday #InvestinourPlanet #Sustainability #urbanfarming #verticalfarming #Sodexo #eatlocal #microgreens

Here's a Mindful Monday tip for you: Staying hydrated during physical activity helps you perform your best. Inadequate hydration hinders endurance, strength and power, increases the risk of muscle cramping, and decreases alertness and concentration. Make sure you drink water before, during, and after exercise to replace water lost with sweat. Aim to drink at least half your weight in ounces of water daily.

We are counting down the days to celebrate our team members! We are so grateful for our incredible employees and can’t wait to recognize them for all their hard work! Follow along and help us celebrate as we show our staff some love for our upcoming National Employee Appreciation Day! #THANKSTOTHEM #SODEXOTHANKSU

Celebrate Mardi Gras with us at lunch time!

Here's a Mindful Monday tip for you...Heart-healthy fats are essential for a balanced diet. These fats can be found in avocado, olive oil, fish & nuts. Adding heart-healthy fats to your daily consumption can help: increase satisfaction, aid in the absorption of nutrients and reduce inflammation. Adding just one to two thumb-sized servings of unsaturated fats to your meals each day can provide these benefits. #sdxcampusrd #hearthealtyfats
