In addition to all the baked good eating that I have planned for you this week, I'm going to need you to pencil in a date for Friday as well. One of my favorite cooking mother-daughter duos is teaching a vegan class at the Whole Foods in Redondo Beach this Friday from 5 to 6 PM. Entitled, Summer Treats, this class will focus on kid-friendly fare like smoothies and popsicles and ice cream and a berry topped chocolate cake to take to your 4th of July picnic. There will be an as yet to be determined (by 10-year-old Tyler and her mom, Dawn) main dish as well. (They're looking for a compromise between mac and cheese and a picnic salad. Can you guess which side the young lady is on?)
Filled with tasty samples and simple summer recipes, this should be a fun evening for the whole family. And if you would like to make a night of it in the South Bay, Dawn and Tyler recommend dinner nearby at The Spot, Green Temple, Veggie Grill or Happy Veggie (I love the Vietnamese Chicken Salad).
