"Dinner’s in the Bag" food sampling in Potsdam

December’s “Dinner’s in the Bag!” at the Potsdam Food Co-op will feature Cauliflower Millet Kugel. This version of a traditional kugel recipe is made with millet, a nutty and gluten-free ancient whole grain. It provides a nice change from noodles that are often used in this classic comfort food. Millet is an excellent source of protein, fiber, several B vitamins, and numerous dietary minerals, especially magnesium. It also contains antioxidants, which help to fight off disease-causing free radicals. Samples will be offered by Big Spoon Kitchen at the 1st Thursday Sampling on December 6th from 3:30 - 5:30 pm. Meal-Kits will also be available all month for purchase, complete with the recipe and Co-op ingredients to make the meal at home. Each month “Dinner’s in the Bag!” will present a new recipe to try, along with the ingredients to take home and create yourself. The Meal-Kits offer the convenience of having everything gathered with all that is needed to make a quick and nutritious meal in your own kitchen, no planning required. The Potsdam Food Co-op & Carriage House Bakery is located at 24 Elm St. It is open daily from 8am to 7pm. It is a member-owned cooperative grocery store (although membership is not required) where everyone is welcome to shop and anyone is welcome to join. Committed to the community and local sustainability, its emphasis is on providing natural and organic foods with the practice of buying from local and regional growers and producers.
