The Family Chef: Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto

By Amy Fothergill - There is something about the flavor of butternut squash and sage; I just love it! It reminds me of fall. However, if you don't have sage handy, thyme would be a great substitute. This hearty dish is also wonderful with any root vegetable like turnip, carrot, parsnip, rutabaga, and sweet potato.

We are seeking a Napa support group 
co-leader!

The Celiac Community Foundation of Northern California runs a quarterly support group at Whole Foods in Napa. We are seeking a kind, organized and responsible local resident to co-lead the group.

You do not need to be an "expert," and you can be recently diagnosed or the parent of a child with celiac disease.  You do need to adhere to our mission of evidence-based support. 

It's light duty, well supported by our foundation, and it is an essential role in our support network. For more information, please contact Jennifer Iscol jiscol@celiaccommunity.org.
