Potluck & Film Screening

FREE Vegan Potluck
and Film Screening

Sunday, May 6
noon - 3:00

Humboldt Area Foundation
Community Center
373 Indianola Road, Bayside

Vegucated is a feature-length documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. But can their conviction carry them when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets? Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time.

This event is open to the public and is free of charge. Attendees should bring a Cinco de Mayo themed vegan dish to share, as well as their own plates, cups, and utensils. (Vegan means no animal products, including meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey, etc.)

The potluck will start at noon and the Vegucated screening will begin promptly at 1:00. Guests are welcome to attend just one portion of the event or the other if they wish.

Vegan Chili Cook-Off Recap

Our third annual chili cook-off was lots of fun, with tons of great food and good company. Thanks so much to all who participated!

Brooke (most unique chili for her sweet potato chili)

Suzanne's Mushroom Tofu Pesto Pasta Recipe

Suzanne and Neal have brought this dish to our potlucks a few times and it's delicious! Thanks for sharing, Suzanne!!!

MUSHROOM TOFU PESTO PASTA

3/4 C. tamari soy sauce
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1 lb. noodles
2 lb tofu (firm), cubed
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 container (7.5 oz) pesto (Nonna Lena's Vegan Pesto)

Combine soy sauce, tofu, and mushrooms in large wide pan on the stove and simmer for about 10 minutes, turning gently to marinate everything without breaking up the tofu. Boil noodles until al dente, drain & rinse. In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (drain & discard marinade); then place in greased 9" x 14" baking pan. Cover with foil & bake at 350 degrees for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
