The Natural Path Health Center and Optimal Body Balance are hosting our second monthly potluck! Many of you have been clamoring for information and resources about cooking and nutrition – especially in the area of food sensitivities. And we also know that some of you are dying to share your recipes and tricks. We would like to create and allergen-free evening where we can come together, share our recipes and learn from each other.
Our first potluck, Soups, Stews, Chili and More, was a great success! Here’s a sampling of some of the mouth-watering recipes.
This time the theme will be Gluten-Free Favorites. That means you can bring a dinner, breakfast or lunch dish, or even just your favorite gluten-free snack! We really hope you will come bearing food, but if you don’t have time to make something to share or if you’re completely stumped on what to make, you can still come; we just ask that you consider making a $5 donation to enjoy all the delicious food. All of the donations received will be given to Second Harvest Food Bank.
If you don’t have a favorite, make something you’ve always wanted to try, or check out the Optimal Body Balance blog for some terrific and tasty ideas.
Here are the specifics:
- Please try to make your dish as allergen-free as possible. Ideally we would like everyone to be able to try every dish, so we ask that you try to eliminate these seven foods from your dishes: cow’s dairy, wheat, soy, corn, eggs, peanuts and sugar (you can use agave nectar, xylitol, stevia and fruit/fruit sweeteners).
- You must sign up by email with your recipe and how many will be attending – family and friends are more than welcome – the more the merrier! Please RSVP by the Friday before the potluck. In this case, that would be Friday, March 30th. If you decide at the last minute to come, that is fine, we just need you to RSVP so we can get an accurate head-count.
- Bring your dish fully cooked. We will have limited space for food prep and cooking; we have an oven and stovetop to warm dishes if needed on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Please bring any serving utensils you need! We will supply silverware and dishes.
- If your dish does contain an allergen, make sure everyone at the potluck knows it! Label your dish with the allergen it contains.
- Email us your recipe ahead of time and we will compile all the recipes and email them out to everyone who attends.
We are very excited to see all of you and eat some great food! We hope you will join us!
