Can you believe we are already halfway through 2026?<\/p>\n

Now is a great time to re-visit the goals or vision board that you set up at the beginning of this year. Are you on track or do you need to recalibrate?<\/p>\n

Take some time this week to celebrate your progress or set more realistic goals if you are recalibrating.<\/p>\n

Most of us on the Demboski & Chapman team had reading related goals for this year! If you are interested in getting a book recommendation please reach out and we would love to share with you what we are reading!<\/p>\n

Where: Apples to Zucchini Cooking School<\/h3>\n

21 E Constance Avenue
Santa Barbara, CA<\/h3>\n

In this class, we\u2019ll transform peak-season produce into flavorful, shelf-stable ferments that can be enjoyed for months to come; as well as explore the digestion and gut health benefits of lactofermentation. You\u2019ll learn the fundamentals of safely processing and preserving produce at home, and make several varieties of kraut (with some jars to take home). We\u2019ll also prepare and share Choucroute Garnie (\u201cdressed sauerkraut\u201d), a hearty and comforting dish from the Alsace region of France, because no cooking class is complete without a delicious meal!<\/p>\n
