Carrot Cake Oatmeal

March 8, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

carrot cake oatmeal

It’s finally feeling like springtime here in Winton-Salem, which means the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and Abby is playing outside again! After being indoors with my almost two-year-old all winter, it’s such a treat to be able to play outside and work in the garden again. …

Almond Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies with Chia Seed Jam

April 29, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

cookies with coffee

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, breakfast is not a meal on which I enjoy spending lots of time. I’m usually too eager to start my day and will settle for a bite of Abby’s morning banana and a cup of coffee. I’m also guilty of grabbing a leftover oatmeal cookie and calling it “oatmeal” to make myself feel better, which was really the inspiration for this recipe.

There are several other breakfast cookie recipes online, but all of them I saw contain banana as a key ingredient. Banana is fine, but not everyone likes its strong flavor (my husband, for example), so I decided to make a nutritious banana-free cookie that constitutes a balanced breakfast. The result was high in fiber, protein, omega-3’s and antioxidants, and so delicious!…

Banana Berry Granola Bars With Toasted Coconut

April 11, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Banana Berry Granola Bars

Yesterday I posted a recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars, and since granola bars are so customizable, I decided to make another flavor: Banana Berry with Toasted Coconut.

Dried fruit, although fairly high in sugar, is a convenient snack (especially for toddlers!). I decided to combine my two favorites — freeze-dried bananas (a.k.a. “space” bananas) and dried wild blueberries. And since I had some toasted coconut on hand, I crushed some of that and added it to the mix. All of these flavors, in addition to the almond butter and ground cinnamon, come together to form a granola bar that tastes like a blueberry muffin with a hint of banana. It’s a great bar for breakfast on the go! …

Coconut Yogurt & Vanilla Granola Parfait

March 16, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

granola and yogurt partait

After tasting the strawberry cupcakes I made for Abby’s birthday, my husband told me that the icing reminded him of a sweet yogurt. He also just returned from a business trip to Vermont, where he tried some homemade granola that he loved. I think you see where I’m going with this.

I quickly began researching the best method for making non-dairy yogurt for my yogurt and granola parfait, then headed straight for the kitchen. …

Blueberry Breakfast Bars

February 9, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Blueberry Breakfast bars

With my mom and brother coming into town to stay with us for a week, I needed to come up with something to serve for breakfast the next few days. I looked at several recipes and came up with these super nutritious breakfast bars. The base is a blend of oats, bananas, almonds, Chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a touch of coconut oil. The topping is a mix of oats and superfoods — blueberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and almonds. …

Easy Homemade “Nutella”

January 12, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

During my dietetic internship I gave a general nutrition presentation to three different high school classes. When discussing how to eat a nutritious breakfast, at least one student in every class raised his hand and announced that he eats Nutella for breakfast, and followed with, “That’s good for you, right?” …

Eggs Benedict (Vegetarian)

I’d say I started the new year off right. I woke up, learned how to poach eggs, made vegetarian Eggs Benedict with potatoes and strawberries, then did a solid workout. It’s all downhill from here . . . …

Even though I mostly stick to a plant-based diet, my absolute favorite breakfast dish is Eggs Benedict with sliced tomato, steamed spinach, and yes — a poached egg. I just love that warm stack of vegetables topped with runny yolk and creamy Hollandaise sauce….

Breakfast Scramble

November 20, 2014 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

breakfast scramble

I have a confession. For being a dietitian, I’m really bad at breakfasts. As much as I love cooking, it’s not something I want to do right after I wake up. In fact, most days all I want is a cup of coffee (do as I say, not as I do!). But on the weekends I’m more willing to dirty up the kitchen to prepare a nutritious breakfast for David and me. …
