Broccoli is delicious, packed with vitamins, and as a member of the cabbage family - it’s part of Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen list of foods to eat every day. Fun facts about broccoli: it comes from the Mediterranean and was enjoyed by the ancient Romans. Thomas Jefferson liked broccoli so much that he imported seeds from Italy to plant at his home in Monticello. Today, California grows 90% of our nations broccoli. The monthly Live and Let Livingston Vegan Food Potluck will take place at the Park County Senior Center, 206 South Main Street, on Sunday, September 9, at 4:30pm. The (always optional) theme this month will be Broccoli, and the recipe demo will be Caroline’s Famous Raw Broccoli Salad! Everyone is welcome; tourists and the veg-curious alike. Attendees don’t have to be vegan - but the food does. Potluck attendees are asked to bring a friend and a100% plant-based dish free of flesh, eggs, animal-derived dairy, honey, and gelatin. For the benefit of those with food allergies, attendees should bring their recipe or a list of all ingredients used. The theme is always optional, and those who don't want to cook can bring something to drink. Live and Let Livingston meets on the second Sunday of every month, at 4:30pm. Delicious food, educational resources, and recipes are shared with those who care about their health, the planet, and most of all, the animals. Plates, cups, utensils, napkins, and warming trays are provided, along with hot tea, coffee, and non-dairy creamers. Anywhere from 2-4 dozen people attend and there are usually several gluten-free and raw dishes offered, along with the inevitable… cupcakes!
