Plant Based Potluck Tonight!

Flash Potluck Tonight!

Ever wondered if plant-based eating is actually... tasty? (Spoiler: It’s incredible.) Whether you’re a long-time vegan or just "plant-curious," we’d love for you to pull up a chair!

Mayfield Community Center is hosting a Plant-Based Potluck this evening, and even though it’s short notice, there’s always room for one more. If you are more of a planner, we will be having another potluck in exactly one month! March 23rd, 6:30PM, so I am early on announcing that one :)

The Details

• When: Tonight, February 23rd, at 6:30 PM (AND March 23rd, at 6:30 PM)
• Where: Mayfield Aquatic and Community Center (6080 Marsol Road)
• What: bring a tasty dish, enjoy lots of different foods!
• RSVP: Please call 440-442-2627 anytime today so we can save you a spot!

Why Plant-Based?

If you've been curious about this way of eating, this is the perfect, low-stakes way to explore. It’s not just about salads! We’re talking:

• Creamy Cashew Pastas that rival any dairy dish.
• Hearty Grain Bowls packed with roasted veggies and zesty tahini.
• Decadent Avocado Chocolate Mousse (yes, it’s a thing, and yes, it’s delicious).
• Vibrant Summer Rolls with spicy peanut dipping sauce.

Come for the food, stay for the conversation, and leave with a few new recipes. We can’t wait to see you there!

The "Bring" Factor: Since it's a potluck, guests should bring a dish, ideally SOS-free (sugar – oil – salt).

Fresh fruit, such as sliced melon, is always a great and appreciated option.

Here are some 3-Ingredient ideas!

·       Hummus & Veggie Platter: Hummus, baby carrots, and cucumber.

·       Caprese Skewers: Cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and balsamic glaze.

·       Quick Black Bean Salad: Canned black beans, corn salsa, and fresh lime.

·       Apple & Almond Butter Bites: Sliced apples, almond butter, and hemp seeds.

·       Avocado Toast Points: Whole Wheat bread, ripe avocado, and sesame seeds.

If you are more of a planner, there will be another Plant Based Potluck on March 23^rd! Same details as above. I hope to see you tonight or next month!
