Lentils, Lemon & Loads of Flavor (Gluten-Free)

Join us in the kitchen as we whip up a seasonal, satisfying, and 100% gluten-free menu that’s as nourishing as it is flavorful. This month, we’re focusing on hearty simplicity — with no kneading, no gluten, and no oil — just whole food, plant-based goodness that’s easy to prep and perfect for warm-weather meals.

Here’s what we’ll be making:

🥣 Everything Lentil Drop Biscuits
Savory, protein-packed buns made from soaked lentils and topped with everything seasoning. No kneading, no gluten, and no fuss — just scoop, bake, and enjoy warm or reheated.

🌿 Herbed White Bean & Artichoke Spread
Creamy, lemony, and fresh with herbs — this spread is the perfect match for our buns and doubles as a dip or sandwich base.

🍋 Spring Vegetable Soup with Quinoa & Lemon
Light yet hearty, this veggie-packed soup is brightened with lemon and finished with quinoa and tender greens — a refreshing bowl for late spring.

Whether you're gluten-free by necessity or choice, or just looking for fresh inspiration, this class is full of nourishing ideas to bring into your weekly rotation. All recipes are oil-free, whole food plant-based, and made to impress without stress.

Let’s taco ‘bout nachos. They’re the life of any party, and when Cinco de Mayo rolls around, you know they’re front and center. But let’s be real—traditional nachos? Greasy, heavy, and ready to knock you out before the piñata even makes an appearance.

We’re flipping the script. This Cinco de Mayo, we are building a vibrant, flavor-packed Nacho Bar that brings all the party vibes without the post-party regret. It’s plant-based, heart-happy, and totally customizable—because everyone’s nacho style is a little different (team guac, anyone?).

So whether you’re hosting a backyard bash or just looking for a reason to bust out the salsa, this spread’s got you covered. Let’s nacho like we mean it—bold, colorful, and good for you, too.

Your Menu includes:

• Homemade Tortilla Chips

• Guac

• Fire Roasted Salsa

• Black Bean Refried Beans

• Sour Cream

• Creamy Cheese Sauce

A totally plant-based and gluten-free delicious pizza party experience! I’d love for you to cook along!

You’ll have the opportunity to choose from a quinoa or lentil crust, and we will make a big bold pizza sauce, creamy mozzarella and finish it off with tempeh sausage or Butler Soy Curls! You choose your veggies and we’ll party, pizza style! This is the class you’ve been waiting for!!

Because we will be making so many recipes, I’d recommend you pre-soak your preferred crust ingredients per the recipe instructions. This is essentially a batch-style pizza class, meaning you will have left overs (unless you are really having a party during class..) that you can use at a later date as well. Yay!!! 🍕🙌
