Northwest VEG Westside Potluck and Plant-Based Meal Planning with Linda Tyler

Northwest VEG is exited to have cooking instructor and cookbook author Linda Tyler presenting Plant-Based Meal Planning and Prep: Strategies for Simpler, Healthier Eating for our August program following our potluck.\n\nAre you someone who makes weekly meal plans? Do you batch cook in advance—or wish you did? Whether you already prep meals or are just curious about how it could work for you, this session will give you fresh ideas and practical tools to make plant-based eating easier and more sustainable.\n\nLinda will present the many benefits of meal planning and prep—from saving time and reducing stress to improving nutrition and cutting down on food waste. You’ll learn how different approaches to meal prep can fit different lifestyles, and why last-minute dinner decisions often lead to frustration (and takeout). We'll also tackle common challenges like getting started, staying motivated, and avoiding burnout.\n\nEven if you’re not the primary cook in your household, you’ll leave with helpful ways to support the process and contribute to more organized, nourishing meals. Presenter Linda Tyler will share her own weekly prep habits, insights from her new ebook Cook Once, Eat Better, and simple strategies to help you build a plant-based routine that works for you.\n\nCome to the potluck at 5:00, Linda’s presentation at 6:15, or both.
