Voluntary Simplicity: Mindful Eating

• October 4 Sermon: “Savor the Delicious”
• Challenge: “Use It Up!” Pantry Challenge–Can you use up the frozen, canned, and dried goods that have been in your freezer, refrigerator, and pantry for months and months?
• Join the Spirit Study Facebook group to share how you’re doing with the challenge

Resources:

For the “Use It Up!” Challenge:

• There are tons of recipe websites for finding exciting recipes to “use up” your ingredients–just enter your ingredient (or several you want to use together) into google search
• If your recipe calls for a specialty item you don’t want to buy, you can use google search to find substitutions (example: google search for “coconut oil substitute”)

How We Eat

• A collection of Unitarian Universalist table graces
• It is hard to find a web article about eating slower that doesn’t over-emphasize weight loss; this is the best I could find. (Minister’s note: I have been using a timer to slow my eating to take 20 minutes per meal)
• Learn about the Slow Food movement

What We Eat

• A list of “Subscription Farms” (aka CSAs) in San Diego County
• Mark Bittman TED Talk “What’s Wrong With What We Eat” (video below):
