Healthy Ideas - Clean Up Your Recipes

HEALTHY WITH SHELLEY CLEAN EATING SUPPORT GROUP
The first meeting will be at Total Wine & More in Northridge as a Healthy Ideas Meetup Group event on Tuesday, January 21, 2014.  There is no charge for this meeting but RSVP is a must so I have enough goodies for everyone. 

You will learn how to “clean up” some standard recipes with healthier ingredients, and they will still taste great!  You will learn how to convert recipes that evening so you can see how easy it can be, and you will go home with substitution lists and a few recipes!   Even if you decide not to continue on with the support group, this is a fabulous event by itself with a ton of valuable info!

After that, we will be gathering the 2nd Tuesday evening of EACH MONTH at my home in Northridge to continue the monthly clean up program.  The dates will be listed on my Healthy Ideas Meetup group page each month along with the regular free monthly Healthy Ideas meetups.

There is a $15 participation fee for each session which includes a free gift for every participant who attends.   Prepay for 5 sessions and get the 6th free!

Receive support from me and the other participants while learning and growing with one another to make clean eating easy eating as we learn to make a bad recipe into a really good recipe! We will be sharing challenges and successes.   Everyone is welcome to attend and be ENCOURAGED -- from the beginner to the advanced clean eater. I will present educational info and demo/highlight a recipe each month based on the theme.
