Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Princeton Eats Plants: May Community PotluckNeeds location
Princeton Eats Plants will hold our May plant-based potluck on Wednesday, May 7th OUTSIDE next to the Memorial Garden (weather permitting) at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, 50 Cherry Hill Rd., Princeton, NJ, 08540.
Please search for and join our Facebook group, "Princeton Eats Plants" to be alerted of our monthly potlucks and other events.
Kindly bring your own plates and utensils as well as a foldout chair or picnic blanket for yourself.
PEP is a community that cares about health, the environment, and all beings. PEP is made up of people who are plant-based, curious about plant-based, and/or who keep a whole foods, plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle. Each month, we will have two sections of dishes, one for strict salt-, oil-, and sugar-free (SOS-free) foods and one for plant-based dishes which may contain reduced amounts of oil, sugar, or salt. Please avoid all animal products and as always, include a list of ingredients and/or a recipe so people may choose.
We appreciate any dish made from grains, beans, legumes, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and fruit (for example, a lentil, pasta, or quinoa salad, vegetable stew, corn bread, brownies, muffins, or cookies). As always, fresh fruit or veggies are a nice contribution if you are lacking time or inspiration to prepare a dish.

Ages 8+ accompanied by parent. Please sign up only if you are serious about attending and plan to attend for the full time. If anything comes up and you need to cancel, let us know ASAP, so that we may fill your spot. We’ve had a problem with last minute cancellations - don’t be that person! The address will be provided privately to volunteers before the event.
