Great Summer Offering from The Meeting Place Tobermory
Submitted by Jennifer Williams
In January of 2021, The Meeting Place presented the community with the Good to Go (G2G) Meal Kit program. This program, first led by Michelle Watson, invited us all on a culinary journey. It has been over 4 years and we are still continuing to discover new ingredients and cultures while creating delicious meals in the comfort of our own kitchens.
Each week we present a new recipe along with all of the pre measured ingredients needed to make a fantastic dinner that feeds 4. Think Hello Fresh but local. Whenever possible we procure items from local farmers and stores. We are also able to include items from the Second Harvest Program that rescued 87.1 million pounds of food last year and redistributed good surplus food in communities across Canada.
Did you know that eating one plant-based meal per week can save 503 litres of water and equates to the same reduction of greenhouse gases as cutting out 560km of driving? Our recipes are presented with Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten Free options. The kit will allow your household to explore plant based options without having to buy ingredients that you are currently unfamiliar with. They also come with easy to follow instructions so you don’t have to be a master chef to create these flavourful and exciting meals. All you need is a desire to try something new.
G2G meals are offered on a sliding scale. Once you have selected your meals you are provided with an option of payment. You are able to select an amount that you feel comfortable paying or you can even choose to volunteer for an hour or two in lieu of cash payments. We want everyone in the community to be able to take part in this important program, regardless of their financial situation.
