"Incredible Cruciferous" at The Gathering Place
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Participants in this workshop will learn fun and delicious recipes that incorporate cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. Example recipes include brussel sprouts with pecans and dried cranberries that are low in saturated fat, sodium and calories.
About the New American Plate Series:
According to the American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR), at least 2/3 of the meal plate should be filled with vegetables, fruit, whole grains and beans. These food groups are rich in substances that protect against many types of cancer. In fact, the AICR estimates that if we were on a proper diet like the New American Plate, exercised daily and maintained a healthy weight, 1/3 of the most common cancers could be prevented.
For more information or to sign up for a class, contact The Gathering Place at 216.595.9546 or www.touchedbycancer.org. Advance registration is required.
