With our busy schedules it can be a challenge to balance nutrition, time, and limited budgets. In this Community Kitchen, we’ll prioritize whole foods over processed options and discover how simple, budget-friendly meals can fit easily into our busy lives.

Here is the night’s agenda:

• 5:30 – 6:30 pm: Learn how to make teriyaki tofu bowls, spinach gomae, and yogurt with fruit and granola
• 6:30 – 7:00 pm: Enjoy the meal together!
• 7:00 – 7:30 pm: Clean up

Whether you’re a seasoned chef or new to the kitchen, all are welcome! This event is first-come first-serve until we reach capacity, so we encourage you to register and arrive 10 minutes early. Don’t miss out—reserve your spot today!

About the facilitators

Brittany Bruskiewicz

Brittany is a recent grad from the Faculty of Health Sciences and is currently working in the field of nutrition. She is passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle through food, where she developed a love for creating plant-based recipes. During her time in university, she had to find efficient ways to cook nutritious meals while on a tight schedule. In this community kitchen, she will be exploring topics such as meal planning, affordable plant-based eating, and healthier alternatives to everyday staples. In her spare time, she loves to road bike, travel, sit by the ocean, explore cafes, and develop new recipes!
