Important Info about Chef’s Night In!
Chef's Night In is such an integral part of our community of healing!
Our staff works closely with nutritionists from the Mayo Clinic to better understand healthier food choices to help guide our guests to make better nutritional choices. to better care for our guests and be their voice, we wanted to give a quick reminder of some basic nutritional information to help you/ your organization plan your meal our guests and guests to keep in mind!
Follow us on Social Media! Check out our Facebook and Instagram stories every Wednesday to see our guests enjoying your lovely meal. Masks are required by all.
*Here are some dinner ideas to serve our guests. Since transplant patients are a vulnerable population we ask that everyone keep all meals healthy and balanced!
Tips for planning a meal!
Remember transplant and oncology patients are an extremely vulnerable population. Please no heavy desserts, foods with saturated fat, fried food, or overly sugary foods. If it's possible please stay away from overly processed meals.
A balanced meal is a happy meal. Remember to incorporate some type of healthy fats, healthy carbs as well as protein in the meals so our guests can see what a balanced meal should look like. Many of our guests are on sodium-restricted/limited diets; some require lower fat meals.
Veggies! Any type of vegetable/salad/casserole or even fruit salad is amazing for meeting the daily nutritional needs of our guests. Vegetables are a quick and great source of vitamins and minerals for those in recovery. All produce must be washed under running water for 2 minutes due to our guests' low immune systems; bagged produce must be washed for 1 minute.
