Volunteering at New Leaf Farms to Strengthen Our Community
Recently, LifeWork’s team members volunteered their time at New Leaf Agriculture.
Located in the Austin, TX area, New Leaf Agriculture is a part of the Multicultural Refugee Coalition training and employing refugee farmers delivering fresh, organic produce to families throughout Travis County. Based on an agricultural model that works with the existing ecosystems, rather than against it, New Leaf strives to connect refugee families from traditional farming culture to farming in their new community.
During their time at New Leaf, The Lifework’s team planted cabbage, cauliflower, three types of beets, and chard and cleaned fresh eggs to prepare them for delivery. New Leaf Agriculture will include these food items in weekly subscription boxes distributed around the city of Austin, and the remaining items will be sold at an area Farmer’s Market. Contributing to and investing in our communities strengthens the bond with the people we serve and furthers our journey towards the greater good.
Connecting with our guests, virtually
With many guests still working from home and will likely do so well into the new year, we are finding new ways to stay connected with our guests, keep them nourished, and provide innovative solutions to help save time and stress.

The Educated Eats Chef Learning Experience
Created for LifeWorks, the Educated Eats Experience takes a hands-on approach to team building. Our chefs use culinary techniques and ingredients to broaden the horizons of our guests. The first event was a team building exercise where our attendees learned the history and how-to’s of making fresh mozzarella, they experienced the art firsthand, and enjoyed their creation alongside a beautiful Italian Market Bar. It was such a hit!
A NEW TWIST ON AN AMERICAN FAVORITE
With the popularity of the Beyond Meat Burger on the rise, LifeWorks Restaurant Group Executive Chef Roger Evaristo came up with a delicious beet-based burger. The Up-Beet Burger is made of raw beets, chickpeas, avocado, lemon juice, chia seeds, and the surprise secret ingredient – peanut butter! The peanut butter packs a punch of protein into the colorful creation. To dress up the patty, the dish is served with a homemade sweet potato brioche bun and vegetables from local suppliers.
Eat the Texan Way
The concept of Smoke House was built from the Texas philosophy, “eat outside every day”. The idea is simple, but actually eating outside every day in Texas can be tricky! Smoke House offers delicious smoked meats, Texas sides and of course house made BBQ sauce. Guests can enjoy the pop-up BBQ menu on the patio outside or bring it in for some relief from the weather.

Happy Earth Day! Today, we all appreciate this amazing blue and green planet. It's a time to contemplate how our actions affect the environment and what we could do better. Personally, we like to treat every day like Earth Day and, in that spirit, have a fantastic sustainability story from one of our Pacific Northwest accounts. Check the link in the bio to learn how we've kept an Orca-sized pile of disposable gloves from making it to a landfill over the last year! #EarthDay #EarthDayEveryDay #sustainability #EarthMonth #recycle
It’s all about small changes. If the entire U.S. did not eat meat for just one day a week and ate something like these delicious Loaded Beet Tacos instead, we'd reduce our environmental impact equivalent to not driving 91 billion miles - the same as taking 7.6 million cars off the road. At LifeWorks, we are making a small change to make a big difference. #healthyfood #Catering #Culinary #LoveOfFood #FoodTrends #HospitalityIndustry #LifeWorksRestaurantGroup #EarthMonth
April 7 is World Health Day, a global health awareness day started by the World Health Organization (WHO). During Earth Month, we reflect on how our decisions affect the environment, but it’s also important to contemplate how our choices affect our health. Good nutrition aligns with good immune health. Blueberries, broccoli, carrots, and grapes are prime examples of nutritious food that boosts your immune system. At every meal, try to fill half your plate with various vegetables and fruits. The more colorful your diet, the better!
Is anyone else drooling over this savory scratch-made 🦞🦞🦞 lobster bisque?
