Plant Based Potluck

Join a potluck exploring and learning how to eat more Whole Foods Plant Based meals. It’s new! It’s confusing! It’s good for our health and our planet. No experience needed – whether you are a long time plant based eater, or have never heard of this before, you are welcome here. Let’s eat, laugh, and learn together. Children welcome.
Bring a dish to share, in which all ingredients are plants.
Plants: Grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts & seeds, herbs & spices.
Not Plants: Animal flesh, fluids, and unborn young.
