Happy Heart, Healthy YOU – Vegetarian/Vegan Cooking Workshop – LIVE ONLINE, Interactive with Sheila Wrede

Join Sheila to make foods with ingredients that are healthy for your heart.

Brussels sprouts have an antioxidant that may reduce cancer growth, decrease inflammation and promote heart health.  Fiber-rich foods like broccoli are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Dark chocolate can help reduce blood pressure and lower your risk of heart disease. 

 Together we will make:

• Curry Stew with Broccoli and Cacao
• Soba Noodles
• Brussels sprouts with Cranberries and Pecans
• Chocolate Delight with raspberries

Join in from your home kitchen for a vegetarian food adventure through the magic of Zoom. By the time you finish this cooking workshop, you will have lovingly prepared a meal for four people!

Have you ever considered cooking as a mindfulness practice? Working with Sheila, you learn to maintain a presence of mind: doing your prep work in advance, laying your equipment and materials out to begin with, and moving calmly, cheerfully, with awareness through the cooking process. Mindful eating of your delicious results becomes a natural follow-through to your workshop experience.

Mindfulness practices can enhance your overall well-being. A healthy lifestyle that reinforces the physical health of the body with good nutrition, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can support your immune system.
