2012 Goal No. 9 - Take a Vegetarian Cooking Lesson

One of my 12 in 2012 goals was to learn how to cook more healthfully, utilizing more vegetarian cooking.  I happened upon a very cool blog called Beauty that Moves, maintained by Heather...who just happens to be holding a whole food kitchen online workshop! Exactly what I was looking for.   I stayed for what seemed like minutes but were really hours pouring through her site, taking in all of the wonderful pictures and information.

This 3-month online workshop will cover the following topics:
  1. Whole Food Fundamentals
  2. Pantry and Kitchen Set-up
  3. Menu Planning and Recipe Organization
  4. Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts and Seeds
  5. Whole Grains and Legumes
  6. Animal Protein: Meat and Dairy
  7. Breakfast and the Lunch Box
  8. Celebrating the Dinner Table
  9. Holistic Lifestyle
  10. Nourishing Snacks
  11. Community, CSA, and Special Occasions
  12. An Evolving Journey
What I like most about this workshop is that there will be:
  • three month immersion
  • twelve modules
  • amazing contributors
  • printable lessons, action steps, resources
  • email support as you need it
  • online community forum
  • nearly 100 recipes/food tutorials
  • video cooking classes, audio podcasts
  • self-paced
  • virtual classroom and forum remain open for 30 days post workshop
  • a down to earth approach to eating well
Sounds good, right?  The price for this workshop is $125.00...not cheap but I was able to find a coupon code worth $15.00.  (Hint:  soulemama).  So, for $110 I will fulfill my goal of learning  how to cook with veggies, and the added bonus of transforming my whole way of eating which just happens to be Goal No. 5.

The class starts on February 6th and runs through the end of April.  You can register here.

Anyone else interested in taking the class with me?

Since one of our adult daughters moved back home due to a career shift, she has been working hard to get mom and dad to eat more vegetarian meals. I'd deem her efforts partially successful. I'll be anxious to know how you do.

Congrats on finding the class. I will have to check it out. I was brought up Seventh Day Advenist so eating veggies was routine in our home. But I bet this old dog could learn a few new tricks!!
