Squash is so Versatile – Vegetarian/Vegan Cooking Workshop – LIVE ONLINE, Interactive with Sheila Wrede

Together we will make:

• Spaghetti Squash and Zucchini with Goat Cheese
• Vegetables with crispy pastry and Basil Sauce
• Tempeh Stuffed Squash (zucchini or yellow squash)
• Zucchini Muffins

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 healthy and flavorful dishes that provide protein and fiber!

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.
