Paleo/Primal Potluck Dinner!

Saturday, January 19, 2013…

Arrive at 5:30pm to meet and greet each other, and to lay out the delicious dishes.

Dinner at 6pm!

Don't tempt fate by showing up late…the good stuff may have already been ate! 🙂 Don't worry, this has never happened (there's always plenty of food!), but it does allow time to get all the food laid out, drinks served, and get to know each other!

RSVP and let us know how many people will be coming with you. The more the merrier!

Traditional Paleo/Primal Potluck: Bring enough of each dish to serve 8 to 10 people.  Always use safe food handling practices!

After you RSVP, please let us know which category of food you plan to bring in the comments section. This will help prevent overlap and can facilitate coordination of dishes, making for a well-balanced meal. You may bring more than one dish if you like! If you need suggestions to fit your cooking skills, budget, or time constraints, please contact Chef Rachel for ideas. This can be done through the comments section, or by email through meetup.com.

Food Categories

* Fish, poultry, or meat * Egg dish * Soup

* Green salad * Sea vegetable dish * Fruit

* Cooked vegetable * Dessert * Other

On an index card, please write the name of each recipe and all of the ingredients so that people with food allergies or intolerances will know if they can eat the dish without problems. If you like, bring copies of your recipe to share: We always love learning how to make your delicious dishes!

Eco-Friendly Potluckers: feel free to bring your own containers to take home whatever leftovers are available!

 

Talk paleo!

I wonder if anyone would like to meet in Tempe sometime? (I can never make it to the Phoenix meetups).

I was looking to get together with paleo folks who want to discuss why they chose to eat this way, how they go about buying high quality foods, etc.. It does not have to be a potluck, but maybe get together at some cafe and discuss the lifestyle with some tea 😀

End of Year Holiday Paleo Dinner!

Hello Paleo Potluckers!

With the success of our last holiday dinner, we've decided to have another at this year's end. We encourage you to prepare your favorite holiday dishes to share with the group, whatever they may be. Since the weather is getting colder, this may just be “comfort” food instead of something actually considered “holiday.”  Just have fun with it and bring something you'd like to share. Everyone's raving about the food, so just keep doing what you do!

Meet and Greet each other starting at 5:30pm, dinner at 6pm!

After you RSVP, please tell everyone in the comments section what TYPE of dish you're planning to bring, as it does help us to construct a well-balanced meal of proteins, veggies, salads, fruits, desserts, etc.

Wellness Fair

A new series on wellness education begins Saturday, January 26th with a Healthy Living Fair at Ironwood Library.

Wellness practices include nutrition, energy healing, anti-aging and immune system balance, sleeping aids, weight loss, chakra balancing, yoga, pilates, massage, hypnotherapy and more.

Please feel free to come and go as your time allows. This is not a sit-down presentation: we learn best by interacting and doing. Here you can connect with exhibitors, their expertise and their offerings for healthier living.

What this is all about~~

NUTRITION
– Try herbal tea and find out why certain herbs work well together and why you may not be getting the results you expect with your herbal supplements.
– Sample the highest anti-oxidant berry on earth, Aronia, and discover what it can do for you.

FITNESS & BODY
– Pick up a few new moves and find out why Pilates works to get a long, lean, sculpted body.
– Experience the benefits of yoga, including strength, balance, flexibility, and inner peace.
– Find relaxation and wellness through the healing hands of massage.
– Did you know at-home body wraps can actually help you slim down?

ENERGY
– Unblock your chakras, release old energies, and escape negative karma from past lives.
– Discover the power of hypnotherapy in removing addictions, poor habits, and limiting beliefs.

HOME
– Find indulgence and comfort in your most loved space: your home.
– Learn about using safe cleaning products around your home and paraben-free products on your skin.
– Tantalize your taste buds and learn what it takes to have a healthy kitchen.

But that's not all! More specialty health/wellness practitioners and vendors will be sharing their expertise, helping you get trim, fit, and healthy for the new year. You, too, can fill in that missing link to accomplish your health goals by joining us Saturday, January 26, at 2:30.

Information on various products and services will be available, and some products can be purchased on the spot. We look forward to seeing you there!

Paleo Holiday Dinner!

Hello Paleo Potluckers!

Due to the requests of many of you who will be with family or out of town this weekend, the Paleo Thanksgiving Dinner has been rescheduled and renamed.  We're now having a Paleo Holiday Dinner on Saturday, December 1st!

Gone is the “request list” of dishes.  I will still be preparing a smoked turkey, and I now encourage you to prepare your favorite holiday dishes to share with the group, whatever they may be. Since the weather is getting colder, this may just be “comfort” food instead of something actually considered “holiday.”  Just have fun with it and bring something you'd like to share!  In the comments section however, after you RSVP, please still tell us what TYPE of dish you're planning to bring, as it does help us construct a well-balanced meal of proteins, veggies, salads, fruits, desserts, etc.

Traditional Paleo/Primal Potluck: Bring enough of each dish to serve 8 to 10 people. Always use safe food handling practices!

If you need suggestions to fit your cooking skills, budget, or time constraints, please contact Chef Rachel, or myself, for ideas. This can be done through the comments section, or by email through meetup.com.

Fish Hugger Food Sampling and Q & A

Meet modern day hunter-gatherer, €“Kenny Aschbacher, €“part time grassfed beef farmer, fisherman, purveyor of wild honey, and lover of local and fresh foods. Find out what, why, and how he does what he does. Learn about the factors that contribute to varying flavors, textures, and fat contents in different grassfed beef and wild salmon sources. They're not all alike and the more you know, the better off you'll be.

Enjoy light samples of beef broth, baked wild salmon from the Kodiak Islands, and a crisp green salad with virgin California olive oil. Bring your questions, your friends, your family, and insulated tote bags or coolers if you would like to purchase any Fish Hugger foods at this free educational event.

Paleo Dessert-Making

Paleo Desserts – yay! Let's do a recipe exchange and dessert-making afternoon!  My idea is everyone find a recipe (paleo recipe book, online, etc), 3-5 people will do a demonstration making their dessert, everyone else will bring theirs made, and then well have lots of desserts to try and 20 to experiment making at home.

Bring:

20 copies of your recipe (1 for everyone)

Your dessert

 

We'll have baking sheets, brownie/cake pans, muffin tins, sauce pans, etc.

This will be a fun way for everyone to try a variety of desserts, see which they like, and learn how to make a bunch all at one go.

“The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.”  ~Mark Van Doren

I'll send out the exact address to attendees the week of.  Please update your RSVP according to the date.
