This is a no-stress session on how to plan healthy and delicious diets for gluten-free, wheat free, heart healthy, or diabetic. I’ll show you how to design well balanced meals for the week and how to cut your time in half from being in the kitchen and food stores. - Meatless Meals

Free Event
This is a whole food nutrient product available for adults and children who don’t eat the recommended 7-12 vegetables and fruits daily. This does not replace a healthy diet but instead helps bridge that gap that most of us don’t meet on a daily basis. I have been taking it since the beginning of the year and have energy ALL day now and sleep much better too. Juice Plus also has a new product available this spring, “Tower Garden”. It’s a hydroponic growing system that you can grow right on your home deck that simplifies traditional gardening-no more weeding!!! For more information on the Tower Garden, visit www.towergarden.com and for Juice Plus information, please visit my website, www.whatscookingwithjuiceplus.com
If you can’t attend these two events in person, next month I will be hosting them online and you can attend live from your phone or computer! Stay tuned!
