Healing Broths:
The Skinny on Ceres' Immune Broth
Instructor: Jacque Lefler, NE
10am to noon, Saturday, February 18
Enrich your favorite soups and dishes with Ceres Community Project's Immune Broth, a nutrient-dense powerhouse that includes vegetables, savory and adaptogenic herbs, sea vegetables and medicinal mushrooms.
Nutrition Educator Jacque Lefler will guide you through the simple steps to making our broth while revealing the many ways it can be used, and all the nutritional benefits that the ingredients bring to keep you healthy through the winter months. Our hands-on class brings you a step closer to health.
Sprouting Health:
Grow Your own Sprouts!
Instructor: Kathy Emmer, NC
10am to noon, Saturday, May 19
Join us on a sprouting adventure! Home-grown sprouts are highly nutritious, economical, verifiably organic, and about as local and fresh as it gets. Sprouting also gives you a simple yet powerful connection to nature, right in your kitchen, all year-round.
Kathy Emmer, Nutrition Consultant, teaches the basics of sprouting and more. You will prepare your own sprouts, as well as a spring salad, savory crackers and irresistible cookies!
Please bring a clean quart mason jar to class.
The ABCs of Fermentation:
Creating Health with Lacto-Fermented Foods
Instructor: JoEllen DeNicola,
Ceres Project Nutrition Director
10am to noon, Saturday, July 21
Ever wonder if you could eat your probiotics instead of taking a pill? You can, with lacto-fermented foods! In addition to being a rich source of probiotics, fermented foods may improve immune function, help to make the nutrients in our food more bio-available, and remove toxins from foods.
Our hands-on fermentation class teaches you to ferment Kim Chi, Sauerkraut and Kefir -- all rich in friendly probiotics and vital nutrients that improve digestion and support your health. It is simple, natural and easy.
Blissful Celebrations:
Sugar-Free and Gluten-Free Desserts
Instructor: Brenda Hinton, raw foods chef
10am to noon, Saturday, October 20
Join us to discover ways you can enjoy fabulous and delicious desserts without jeopardizing your health.
More and more people are discovering the benefits of eliminating or reducing gluten in their diets, yet packaged gluten-free desserts are often made with processed white sugar, which is detrimental to long-term health.
Turn your desserts into healthy delights with our delicious gluten & sugar free recipes.
