Meatless Mondays in Ina's Kitchen

The time has come to embrace vegetarian meals, for a host of healthful reasons. It’s good for us, our children, and our planet. While I am NOT a vegetarian, I eat so many vegetarian meals at home, and have done so for decades.

This is NOT a cooking class – per se. It’s an IDEAs class – with FOOD! However, I will share with you as much as I can (if you want to know) about “cooking”- the cutting, steaming, roasting, soaking & pressure cooking (beans) – of the foods that we’ll be eating.

Various topics include:

Plan for your lifestyle & needs
What is a meal?
Egalitarian Plate
Vegetables as staples
Seasonal eating/Food qualities
The Continuum of “local”
Virtuous Legumes
Permission Slip “Recipes”
The 30 minute goal

You can expect to eat:

• At least one Meatless Monday night 30 minute quickie
• 1 “Saturday night vegetarian” dinner, which means it took longer than 30 minutes to prepare
• My sticky rice stew – (chick peas, rutabaga, yam, shitakes, kale & wild  salmon which exemplifies the notion of adding animal protein/here fish, as CONDIMENT, not center stage!)
• You’ll have soup at least once
• Beans and or lentils of some kind
• Seasonal veggies – different ways
• Real food cooked with love
