March 11: Kombucha Demo

Its time I started doing food demos again!

Price Foundation.  Please bring your own jar to take one home..

June 18: Cabbage Rolls Demo

Date:

Thursday, June 18th, 2020

5:00 PM (Pacific Time)

Details:

Keto Cabbage Rolls with Cauliflower Rice

If you’re going keto or low carb, you’re going to want to master the skill of making riced vegetables. We’ll show you how to make this versatile keto staple from cauliflower, celery root, and turnips. Then we’ll stuff it into a keto cabbage roll simmered in bone broth and stuffed with shrimp and thymus! ”

If you’ve never tried thymus (also called sweetbreads), give it a try!  It is a very mild tasting variety meat.  Everyone loved it at the Variety Meats class we held a few years ago.

This recipe is suitable for low-carb, keto, GAPS and anyone following a Wise Traditions diet.  If you are not low-carb, GAPS or Keto and do well with grains, you can certainly substitute properly prepared rice in place of the cauliflower rice.
