I've been thinking a lot lately about how to remove barriers. We have a lot of collective wisdom in this group, and no matter where we are in our journey, we can always pick up something new. So at this event, we will share our vegan life hacks -- or just listen other people's ideas. All while munching on burritos!
VEGAN LIFE HACKS
Whether you just wanted to eat a little more healthy or you had a big change to a vegan diet, you probably had some obstacles that you found a way around (or over or through ;-) ). I think it would be fun to share these tips and tricks.
Ideas to Share or Ask:
What if you don't like chopping veggies?
What if you have family/friends who aren't supportive?
What if you hate kale?
What if you don't like spending time in the kitchen?
What if you are on a tight budget?
What if your doctor doesn't get it?
What if you don't know how to chop an onion?
What if you don't know how to make food taste good?
What if you like to eat out a lot?
What if you need to travel?
At this event, you can share your hacks to the above problems and/or listen to other people's hacks.
VEGAN BURRITO POTLUCK
This is the easiest kind of potluck ever. I'll supply different kinds of wraps (including gluten-free). You bring a single ingredient for the burrito innards. Together, we all get to build our own burritos.
Ideas on what to bring:
- sauce: salsa, vegan cheese, enchilada sauce, vegan sour cream
- chopped veggie: bell peppers, lettuce, cilantro, corn, tomato, cooked onion, cooked broccoli, spinach, shredded carrots or cabbage etc.
- grain: brown, black, or red rice. wheat berries. farro. rye berries. groats. quinoa.
- bean: black, pinto, navy, lentils, refried beans
- misc: cooked mushrooms, olives, avocado/guacamole, baked tofu, tempeh
It's not necessary, but if you know what you want to bring, please leave a note at the bottom of this event page so that I can fill in if a category is lacking. If you want to decide last minute, that's totally fine.
THE RESIDENT DOG
Cake, the energetic Great Dane, will be present and supervising all activities. He even has his own life hack to contribute.
ADDRESS AND MORE INFORMATION
The day before the event, I'll be emailing additional important information and my address (which is in North Eugene/Santa Clara area). If you do not receive the email, please let me know.
