  Join plant-based chef Nancy Travis as she guides you through a 21-day plant-based challenge which  is perfect for someone who is interested in losing weight,  maintaining a healthy weight or those curious about the numerous health benefits of a whole food plant based diet and would like to “test drive” this diet for themselves.  

  This is weight loss without restricting “carbs” or counting calories. The key to healthy weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight is learning to choose the right foods that are satisfying and health promoting. This program based on clinical research and created by The Physicians’ Committee for Responsible Medicine, will help you lose weight and stay healthy, all while bolstering clinical benefits such as lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, gaining better diabetes control as well as improving energy and mood. 

  Each class in the series will include an educational video, class discussion and support as well as a cooking demonstration of 3 recipes. Lots of tips and tricks, recipe handouts, as well as additional resources will be shared. You will also have access to Nancy via email to answer any questions between sessions.  

  
  

  Session 1: The Power of Your Plate - September 12
  We will focus on getting ready to start a low-fat, plant-based diet. We will guide you through what the diet entails, what groceries to purchase and what a healthy menu will look like.  

  Session 2: Let’s Go! - September 19th
  After a week of preparations and today’s lesson, you will have all the tools you need to start a low-fat, plant-based diet for the next three weeks. We will go around the "zoom room" and see how everyone did in their preparatory week of food shopping and meal planning. 

  Session 3: Getting into Gear - September 26th
  After the first week of the challenge we will discuss how things went; share successes and get support for things that were challenging.  You will gain some new insights from other class participants and may choose to share some of your own. 

  Session 4: Breaking the Food Seduction - October 3th
  This class will go over why specific foods high fat foods like cheese seem addictive and why foods like broccoli are not. Today’s lesson will address what we can do to break those addictions.

  Session 5: Keys for Natural Appetite Control - October 10th 
  This final class you will have been following a plant-based diet for 21 days! We will discuss next steps to creating a permanent diet change as we learn the secrets to appetite control.

  Week 2 ~ Macaron: These delicate French almond cookies will be piped, baked and then we will sandwich them together with a delicious buttercream.

  Week 3 ~ Swiss Roll: It’s a bit of a challenging technique to roll the sponge cake, but this cake filled with jam and whipped cream will be worthwhile.

  Okay… it’s time to come clean…

  It’s true… the Shibaguyz love a certain kind of cake! Yes, we’re talking about the seasonal cake with the name akin to the evil character in a certain book about a young wizard. The-Cake-That-Dare-Not-Speak-Its-Name.  But, despite all that, we love it… and in November we’re going to share with you the reason why we do.  And we’ll even name it!

  This is no ordinary fruitcake recipe. This is the recipe that Jason’s mother, Kay, handed down to us from his Great-Great Grandma Hoyt who brought it over from England when she immigrated to the U.S. in the late nineteenth century. 

  We’re baking this in November, live with you, because, although you can eat it as soon as it cools, to it takes 30 days to make the “Grown-up version” completely saturated with brandy/rum.  You will NOT want to use this as a door stop… or to anchor your boat… and it will not be around after the apocalypse. Believe us, it will not last that long. You’re gonna love it!

  Make plans to join us on Zoom as the Shibaguyz present to you a family heirloom as sent to them from Jason’s Mother as sent to her from his Aunt Irene.

  “Buche de Noel” or “Yule Log” has its origins in European Christmas traditions. Made of sponge cake shaped into a Swiss Roll, frosted and decorated to resemble a miniature log.

  It is a technical recipe with a challenging practice of rolling a sponge, but once you figure out the art to a sponge and Swiss roll, you will be happy to share the beauty of this tradition. This class will be taught in two segments. On the first day we will bake the sponge, make the filling and roll it into a roulade. During the second part of this class we will ganache the cake and decorate it with meringue mushrooms, sugar leaves and sugar winterberries. You may also add fresh berries, greenery and other small holiday decorations to this festive treat.

  Participants will learn how to bake, fill, and roll a sponge cake, as well as how to make and pipe a crisp French meringue.

  Please bring an airtight container to take your Yule Log home in.
