To support those who pledge, the Meatless Monday Needham website features tasty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meatlessmondayneedham.org\/recipes-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recipes<\/a> and online cooking resources. A monthly newsletter offers recipes, plus information about local events and resources.<\/p>\n<p>Meatless Monday Needham is sponsored by the Needham League of Women Voters, Green Needham, and the Needham Community Farm and is endorsed by the Needham Board of Health.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cook along with Meatless Monday Needham at a Zoom class on Thursday, Feb. 10, from 6:00 &#8211; 7:30 p.m. Vegetarian cooking instructor Jessica Weiss will\u00a0demonstrate how to cook a meatless dish featuring tofu, mushrooms, aromatics and Indian spices.
