Paleo/Primal January Potluck!

Sunday, January 19th, 2013…January Potluck
5:30 pm Meet & greet, set out your delicious dish(es) with a list of what is in each one.     6 pm: We eat! Drawing for Paleo & Primal books will follow the meal!

Don't tempt fate by showing up late…the good stuff may be gone! 🙂
RSVP and let us know how many people will be coming with you.

Bring enough of each dish to serve at least 6 to 8 people.

Please be aware of what foods are suitable to bring. This is a Paleo and Primal Meetup. Further, we have members with food allergies and intolerances who could get very sick if you bring dishes that contain certain wheat or gluten. Unsure about a particular ingredient? Contact one of the group hosts (Danen Downs or Chef Rachel) to clarify.

Please DO NOT bring dishes that contain the following ingredients: gluten (e.g., wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, farro, breadcrumbs, white flour, cake flour, etc., food made on equipment used to process these foods), grains and pseudo grains (e.g., quinoa, corn, rice, and all others), beans, legumes (including soy), hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, etc.
Some primal eaters include high quality dairy products; others do not. Please label your dishes so we know all of the ingredients they contain.

Use safe food handling practices! Don't double dip when preparing or tasting foods. Bring perishable items in an insulated tote with ice packs or warm and in a crock pot wrapped in insulating material.

Let us know what category of food you plan to bring in the comment section. This helps prevent overlap and helps to create a well-balanced offering. 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 by email through meetup.com

Label it: On an index card, please write the name of each dish with all of the ingredients, so people with food allergies or intolerances will know if they can eat it. If you like, bring copies of your recipe to share. We love learning how to make new dishes.

Goodies to go: Feel free to bring your own containers to take home whatever leftovers are available! Trading leftovers adds to the fun.
