Everything you need to know about what’s on your plate, but didn’t know to ask
This group, led by Shirley Jean S., meets online from 4-5pm on consecutive Thursdays, started October 24. Before each meeting, participants watch a video online and make one or two assigned recipes. The movie and recipes are discussed during the group.
Health-promoting vegan food includes fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. It’s all plant-based—free of all animal products, including dairy, eggs, meat, poultry, and seafood; and free of animal byproducts, like whey, casein, lactose, and gelatin (often found in processed foods). If you need specific ideas about what to bring, search for “vegan recipes” or “whole-food, plant-based recipes” or try one of these sites – Dr. Fuhrman or Chef AJ. Additional recipes can be found at Hello Nutritarian, Forks Over Knives, Well Your World, Plant Based Recipes and Universal Meals.
