Upcoming Events
I love the holidays and all of the special foods that show up on our tables. I know you are supposed to eat to live, but I must confess, sometimes a really good meal - especially enjoyed with friends and family - is hard to beat. We think we have selected some vegan, plant-based dishes that even non-vegan, non-WFPB folks will enjoy.
This will be a demonstration class, and we will enjoy dinner together. We hope to see you soon!

Confession. I only know how to cook beans in my Instant Pot. Katy has vowed to teach me how to expand my horizons. We thought maybe other people might be in the boat with me.

One of my favorite things about winter cooking is making soups. Join us for this demonstration cooking class for a variety of soups and breads. Including how to make them in the Instant Pot or stove. The soups we plan to make are a white bean chili and butternut squash soup. Breads include a Middle-Eastern spinach stuffed bread, a no-knead hearty seeded bread, and savory yeast free / GF bread. And for dessert, Pumpkin bars (gf)
