Meatless Mondays with Chef Katy Meyer

Eating a plant-based diet is good for your health, good for your wallet, and good for the environment too. While not everyone wants to give up meat altogether, 31% of Americans now report that they take at least one day a week off of eating meat. Where's an easy place to begin? Mondays! "Meatless Monday" is a big trend, and it looks like it is here to stay! 

Whether you're a seasoned vegetarian or are just curious about this notion, join Chef Katy Meyer of the Trumpet Blossom vegan restaurant in Iowa City as she explains the basics of transitioning to Meatless Mondays. She will demonstrate the preparation of black bean-sweet potato quesadillas with coconut-cilantro rice and chipotle slaw; pasta with tomato sauce, tempeh meatballs, & pumpkin seed parmesan; and Breakfast for Dinner: a tofu scramble with roasted veggies & potatoes. Sample sized portions of each meal will be served.
