Feel free to ask questions. People who are new to this way of eating are encouraged to attend. You don&#8217;t have to bring food the first time you visit.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Our potlucks emphasize homemade foods. We suggest growing food or buy real single ingredients from a reputable store. Note: If you don&#8217;t have time to make homemade food, don&#8217;t bring anything and don&#8217;t eat. Hang out for networking and socializing.<\/div>\n<h4>New to all of this?<\/h4>\n<p>For those of you who are new to The Weston A. Price Foundation principles, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/basics\/dietary-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dietary Guidelines<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/basics\/characteristics-of-traditional-diets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Characteristics of Traditional Diets<\/a> for brief overviews.\u00a0 We recommend the free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/healthy4life2011.pdf\">Healthy 4 Life<\/a> booklet.\u00a0 You may also read <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1MmoU5h_YiQNq3nq3xBhYsCBqHlmw2Z8mWE7qMi0qZbc\/edit\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">What is a \u201cWeston Price\u201d or traditional diet?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/basics\/principles-of-healthy-diets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Principles of Healthy Diets<\/a>, and then get a copy of the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/nourishing-traditions-by-sally-fallon-and-mary-enig\/\">Nourishing Traditions<\/a> for in-depth information and recipes. We also recommend you take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/about-the-foundation\/beginner-tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guided Tour<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weston A.

Anything from <em>Nourishing Traditions<\/em> is wonderful, but don\u2019t feel it has to be extensive or elaborate.\u00a0 Any recipe in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westonaprice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/healthy4life2011.pdf\">Healthy 4 Life<\/a> booklet would also be a welcome addition.\u00a0 A simple homemade meal made from scratch using natural fats would be a great contribution.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples include: organic salad with homemade organic dressing, a roasted chicken or other meat, a dish made with soaked grains, soup using homemade bone broth, and steamed or roasted vegetables with butter or cream sauce.\u00a0 (Don\u2019t know how to make these things?\u00a0 Come to our classes!)<\/p>\n<p>Items that you can easily pick up from a natural food store include raw cheeses, naturally cured cold cut meats, sourdough bread, organic salad greens, avocado, olive oil and vinegar, fresh fruit with organic cream, or many other options. Check out the raw cheeses made with rennet from the Dedrick&#8217;s Cheese Shop in Nevada City. <\/p>\n<p>Please don\u2019t worry about being perfect.\u00a0 None of us are perfect.\u00a0 And it doesn\u2019t even matter if you don\u2019t yet eat this way at home!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bring your own water bottle and napkin<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Concerned about cost?<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eugenewestonaprice.org\/potlucks\/dsc02755-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4427\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4427 alignleft\" title=\"DSC02755\" src=\"https:\/\/eugenewestonaprice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/DSC02755-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a>The idea is to bring enough food to feed yourself and whoever else you bring. You do not need to bring enough food to feed a full meal to 6-12 people unless you are bringing 6-12 people! The idea is for everyone to taste each dish and have enough food to feel satisfied. Yes, real food costs more than boxed\/processed\/artificial food. The savings are in your health, energy and the benefit to the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>And you will not find food this good anywhere else outside of a Wise Traditions Conference!<\/p>\n<h4>Concerned about preparation time?<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0If you have work or school on Mondays, please feel free to make your dish on Sunday and bring it to the event to heat up or assemble if needed.<\/p>\n<h4>Concerned about dietary restrictions or food allergies?<\/h4>\n<p>We frequently have people at our potlucks who are healing from food allergies and need to avoid a specific food (or many!).\u00a0 Gluten sensitivity is common. Gluten free grain list is<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/gluten.org\/2019\/10\/17\/gluten-free-grains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"external external_icon\"> here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span> And while it is not required, we frequently have several gluten-free dishes.\u00a0 It is also common to find people who cannot tolerate other specific foods (including a wide variety such as nightshade, dairy, whey, blueberries, rice, fish, oats, garlic, onions and many others).<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"gcnotice\">PLEASE MAKE A CARD WITH INGREDIENTS TO PLACE NEXT TO YOUR FOOD<\/h4>\n<p>Instead of asking everyone not to bring specific foods, at the beginning of each meeting everyone is asked to tell the group about the dish he or she brought or have a card with ingredients on it. You can ask the maker of the dish if it has any of the specific food you wish to avoid in it.\u00a0 This has always worked well for us, although we have not had anyone with a severe or life-threatening allergy attend our potlucks, and recommend exercising caution if you do have such a condition.<\/p>\n<h4>It is worth the effort!<\/h4>\n<p>Hopefully meeting new people who share a passion for great tasting food and vibrant health, regenerative farming and gardening, asking questions and learning from each other, will make it worth all the time and effort it takes to get to the event. We are definitely a community of people that includes local farmers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please please volunteer!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We need volunteers to keep these events happening. We cannot do this by ourselves. We really do need you. Please ask how you can <a href=\"sunshine.works@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">help here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Suggestions?<\/h4>\n<p>Let us know if you have suggestions to make these events more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our chapter meetings are on the 2nd Monday of each month from 6 to 8:30 pm.\u00a0 Check our Gold Country WAPF Facebook for the latest details.\u00a0 Note: Our Facebook is a closed group.
