Lunch & Learn in Toronto

I’m so excited to share with you my October lineup of corporate wellness events! Autumn ushers in a splendid season, adorned with colourful leaves, cozy sweaters, and an abundance of pumpkins. It’s the ideal time to embrace warmth and relaxation, savouring the essence of the season. However, as the leaves change, so can our health. Amidst the wonders of fall, a familiar visitor, the cold and flu season, rears its head.

The last thing anyone wants is to have plans disrupted because of a cold or flu. That scenario can mean missed work, school, cherished family moments, or enjoyable activities (like trick-or-treating – my son was sick last year and it was so sad), and that’s certainly not ideal. Fortunately, there are tons of natural approaches we can employ to boost our immune systems, ensuring our bodies are well-equipped to combat any threats that come our way.

This October, I’ll be sharing tons of nutritionist-approved tips to boost your immune system, empowering you to stand strong against the seasonal challenges that lie ahead. We’ll also lean into the yummy flavours of fall, all while infusing a touch of Halloween magic into our wellness journey. No tricks here, just tons of tips and health-filled treats for your whole team to enjoy!

What my clients are saying:

We scheduled Jesse Lane Lee for a nutrition Lunch & Learn on How to Boost Your Immune System for our company, and she was great! The seminar was interactive, engaging and very informative. The employees seemed to be very interested and asked a bunch of questions. Jesse Lane was very knowledgeable and kept the participants engaged throughout the entire seminar. The employees provided us great feedback after the seminar on how they really enjoyed Jesse Lane’s Lunch & Learn. We loved it so much that we scheduled Jesse Lane to return for a cooking class for the employees.

Cooking Class 1: Pumpkin Spice Breakfast

October wouldn’t be complete without its beloved pumpkin mascot! I’m absolutely thrilled to guide your team on a delightful journey to discover more delectable and imaginative ways to savour the essence of pumpkin. This cooking class is all about infusing pumpkins into your morning routine. We’ll start with my Pumpkin Spice Muffins – a quick, grab-and-go breakfast that’ll envelop you in warmth and fuel your day. These muffins get their cozy, autumn-inspired flavour from a harmonious blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and the sweet touch of maple syrup.

And that’s not all – we’ll also whip up a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie together. This speedy and effortless breakfast is a chance for you to indulge your sweet tooth in the morning. It’s a delightful twist on the classic pumpkin pie. Delivering the beloved familiar taste of everyone’s favourite fall dessert, but as a healthy breakfast option. Yum!

Cooking Class 2: Healthy Halloween

Get ready to embrace the Halloween spirit with a culinary twist! My Roasted Pumpkin Tacos and Spider Deviled Eggs will add a ghoulishly delightful touch to your team’s Halloween festivities this October.

My Spider Deviled Eggs will add a touch of whimsy to your team’s Halloween spread. These spooktacular delights are not your ordinary deviled eggs. We’ll be crafting edible arachnids atop each egg, transforming them into mini works of art. With a dash of creativity and a sprinkle of culinary magic, we’ll craft these spider-themed deviled eggs that are sure to steal the show at any Halloween gathering!

We’ll also be making my Roasted Pumpkin Tacos, which take the vibrant essence of sweet pumpkins and transform them into a savoury delight. Roasted to perfection, the pumpkin pieces will infuse each bite with a rich, earthy flavour that perfectly complements the array of delectable toppings. Picture a medley of fresh tomatoes, zesty lime, creamy guacamole, and comforting refried beans, all nestled within warm tortillas. These tacos are not only a culinary treat but also a festive nod to the Halloween season.

Pumpkins aren’t just fun fall decorations, they’re actually super healthy too!

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the health benefits of these vibrant orange gems. Did you know that National Pumpkin Day falls on October 26th? While there are numerous pumpkin varieties grown worldwide, the one we typically use for baking is the sugar pumpkin, also known as the pie pumpkin.

Here are some of the incredible health benefits packed into these pumpkins:

• Promote eye health and sharpen your vision, thanks to their rich vitamin A content.
• Keep you feeling full for extended periods and maintain a happy digestive tract, courtesy of their ample fibre.
• Boost your immune system to help you steer clear of cold and flu season, as they are loaded with vitamin C.
• Support restful sleep, thanks to the phytonutrient tryptophan they contain.

These recipes offer a timeless, wholesome, and seasonally perfect way for your team to learn a new skill and get in some extra nutrients this October!

Together let’s welcome fall into the office with these fun health and wellness events now available virtually or in person! Email me at info@jesselanewellness.com for more details, or check out my Corporate Wellness page for more info on how you can book your team today!
