Zucchini Brownies

July 29, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

If you know a dietitian personally, you’ve probably witnessed her (or him) using her food knowledge to justify whatever she’s eating. You may have heard her say, “Oatmeal helps prevent colon cancer, so I should probably eat these oatmeal cookies.” Or maybe she’s said, “Red grapes contain resveratrol, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant. So yes, I’d like another glass of wine.” Or you’ve heard the weakest, but probably most commonly used, justification — “Chocolate contains antioxidants!” So for those of you who like to have your cake and justify it too, here is the perfect dessert: Zucchini Brownies! …

Cucumber Bites with Lemon Dill Ricotta

July 21, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

cucumber

If you live in the Southeast and aren’t doing any gardening this summer, you’re really missing out! We’ve had afternoon rain showers almost daily, which have kept my vegetable garden quite happy. I planted my garden late this year because we had our garden boxes rebuilt and more organic soil brought in, delaying everything. But for whatever reason, the plants love the new soil and the weeds don’t. I’m so happy! …

Zucchini & Tomato Lasagna

July 5, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

lasagna

I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July!

Our family celebrated with a delicious meal of carrot dogs and oven fries, which you must try if you haven’t already.

Anyway, last week I taught a cooking class at Southern Home & Kitchen here in Winston, and it was a great success! The theme was raw vegan, so “cooking” class is actually a misnomer. The menu included three flavors of cashew cheese, a pear and arugula salad with Meyer lemon dressing, raw zucchini and tomato lasagna, and fresh mint ice cream with chocolate date sauce. I also brought samples of my mini cinnamon rolls for everyone to try. The menu was a hit!…

PSA: Carrot Dogs Are Delicious

June 8, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

carrot dog

I used to joke with my husband that I was going make him carrot dogs, as if putting a carrot in a bun would be the saddest and most pitiful meat substitution in the vegan world. It was not until I received the latest PlantPure Nation newsletter, which praised the carrot dog, did I realize that carrot dogs are more than just placing a carrot in a bun and adding toppings. …

Trying New Things: Fiddlehead Ferns

June 1, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

fiddlehead

A question I’m often asked is, “If you suddenly didn’t have lupus anymore, would you go back to eating the way you used to (as in, eating a standard American diet)?” My answer: absolutely not. The purpose of that question is of course to determine whether a plant-based diet is “worth it” for a seemingly healthy person, or if I regularly choke down my vegetable dinner then go to my room to cry over how much I miss chicken fingers and baked brie. Trust me, it’s so worth it….

My Weekend at the 2016 P-POD Conference

May 24, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

conference

Last weekend was the third annual Plant-based for Prevention of Disease conference, hosted by NC State in Raleigh. I attended last year and was blown away by the number of doctors (M.D. and Ph.D), dietitians, and researchers who spoke about the many benefits of a plant-based diet. It was also a great opportunity to commune with like-minded people and discuss the challenges of convincing people to change their diets….

As a plant-based foodie and lover of all types of vegetation, it’s hard to contain my excitement when spring rolls around and fresh, local produce appears in the markets. After making everything I can with peas and asparagus, I move on to those beautiful stalks of rhubarb, which are impossible for me to resist. …
