At this week’s Mo’Magic meeting, Garden and Seed-to-Mouth educator Yaya made sweet potato tacos for the annual Health and Wellness presentation. Not only were the tacos delicious, but they looked beautiful too!

About the Health and Wellness Presentation
The first presentation of the day focused on various personal and professional stresses, self-care routines, and actions to improve on healthy lifestyle choices. Aptly titled Holiday Blues Clues, their suggestions included (but was not limited to!): setting healthy work-life boundaries, asking for what you need, taking alone time, getting enough sleep, stretching, taking breaks, and giving compliments!

“Even heroes need to eat!” – Yaya says about the “superhero” cohort of nonprofit providers.
Cooking Demo by Yaya
To close the Health and Wellness presentation, Yaya made everyone a sweet potato taco! She started by asking everyone about their holiday comfort foods — think coco, chili, soup, breads – and offered this as her comfort food. A regular napper, Yaya says this meal (delicious and light) gives her energy and keeps her going to the end of the day!
