Cinnamon Ice Cream With Salted Caramel and Brûléed Banana

July 3, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

I may be a dietitian, but I’m still human — a human with a sweet tooth. So naturally, my favorite recipes to concoct are desserts. Granted, my desserts are nutritious, vegan, and gluten-free, but they’re still decadent treats that should be reserved for special occasions.

This cinnamon ice cream with salted caramel and brûléed banana seems complex, but I promise it’s quite easy! The ice cream, shortbread cookies, and salted caramel can be made ahead, and the bananas can be caramelized using a créme brûlée torch or an oven broiler right before serving. And trust me, this will be your new favorite summer dessert! …

Lentil Salad With Roasted Vegetables

July 1, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Before my husband and I traveled to London in mid June, I did some research to find a good vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the city. I stumbled upon a cute restaurant called Mildreds, which is so popular that the line is always out the door! My husband and I arrived 20 minutes before it opened for lunch so we could be at the front of the line.

The food at Mildreds was so good, I bought the cookbook!…

Ethiopian Stuffed Cabbage

June 8, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Last week in my CSA crate I received a beautiful head of cabbage, so I decided to concoct a flavorful entree that features cabbage! Cabbage is often used in Ethiopian cooking, which I love, so I knew this dish would be one of my favorites.

I combined the commonly-used Ethiopian spices — turmeric, cumin, garlic, and ginger — with a naturally creamy mash of potatoes, carrots, white beans, and onion, and served it all stuffed into steamed cabbage leaves. If you don’t want to take the time to stuff cabbage leaves, you can always chop your cabbage and cook it with your other vegetables!…

Fudgesicles w/ Protein (+ A Product Review!)

June 1, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

You know you’ve made it as a food blogger when you’re mailed a product and asked to do a review on your blog!

And I’ll admit, because I believe it’s possible to eat all of the protein you need from eating only plants, I generally don’t endorse protein powders.

BUT . . .

When I received my sample of Nature’s Food Organic Protein, I was impressed by its ingredient list and the fact that it’s 100% vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and lactose-free. It’s also free of preservatives, cholesterol, and artificial flavors and sweeteners. The main reason I like this product, however, is the fact that it contains Bacillus coagulans, which is a beneficial probiotic (good bacteria). Probiotics help boost your immune system and aid in digestion by improving gut health, and should be part of everyone’s diet! …

Cornbread Donuts (2 Ways!)

May 27, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

I’m getting very antsy waiting for summer vegetables to arrive. Every day I go out to my garden to check my tiny green tomatoes, hoping they will suddenly ripen and I can pick them and start using them in recipes. Unfortunately, I have to be patient and hold off on making any recipes that include produce from my garden.

One summer vegetable I’m not growing, however, is corn! And since I purchased a donut pan last week, I decided to make vegan, gluten-free cornbread donuts! …

Sparkling Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade

May 23, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t get enough of local strawberries right now! They’re so perfect and sweet, they make me want to eat them right when I get them.

I’ve been receiving a new carton of local strawberries each of the past two weeks in my Homegrown Grocery basket (like a CSA), and this week I decided to use half of my carton to make a sparkling strawberry rhubarb lemonade!…

Three-Bean Salad

May 21, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

It’s unofficially summer, which means it’s time to give the soup bowls a little break and get excited about cold salads again! One summer picnic and potluck staple is the three-bean salad, which seems to have been forgotten by my generation.

Well it’s time to bring it back! Try this super easy three-bean salad recipe, and you’ll wonder why you don’t keep simple hearty salads like this one in your fridge at all times! …

Red Bean Ice Cream (Vegan)

May 20, 2015 by maryrossfowler 2 Comments

I’m continuing my Asian-inspired ice cream flavors this week with this red bean ice cream made with sweet red bean paste! Last week I posted a black sesame ice cream, which you absolutely must try!

Red bean paste (known as anko) is a common filling to mochi, dumplings, cookies, and other Chinese and Japanese desserts. At first the idea of beans in my desserts made me cringe, but after I tasted that sweet red paste, my mind was filled with new dessert recipe ideas!

But first, ice cream . . . 🙂 …

Black Sesame Ice Cream (Vegan)

May 12, 2015 by maryrossfowler 7 Comments

Well, the time has come. I’ve finally caved to my husband’s requests and dusted off the ice cream maker, which has been stored for the winter. I generally resist making ice cream because I love it so much that if it’s in the freezer, I WILL eat it. I’m sure most of you can relate.

And after tasting this recipe, I knew I was in trouble!…

Copycat Elsa Sandwich

May 8, 2015 by maryrossfowler 4 Comments

I very rarely eat bread, but after tasting this sandwich at one of my favorite lunch spots in Nashville, I knew I had to make it myself. The roasted sweet potatoes, tart apple slices, peppery arugula, and creamy spread on cranberry walnut bread combine to make a fantastic hot sandwich that you must try!

The Food Company, a sweet little lunch and catering restaurant with a greenhouse bar, is well-loved by the Nashville locals in the Green Hills area. It is known for its fresh salads, flavorful soups, and unique sandwiches. When Abby and I were in Nashville last week visiting my family, I ate at The Food Co. three times, and could not get enough of their sweet potato sandwich! They call it The Elsa, which is why I call mine the Copycat Elsa Sandwich. …

Almond Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies with Chia Seed Jam

April 29, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

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!…

Asparagus Fries With Sweet Mustard

April 16, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

I’ll admit, I like asparagus, but I don’t love it. For me, it really depends on how it’s cooked.

I had a bunch of asparagus in the fridge, so I decided to dredge each spear in my super-nutritious flax batter and bake them. What resulted was a delicious appetizer or side dish that I believe even kids would love! I call them asparagus fries, even though they’re not technically fried. I dipped them in a store-bought maple champagne mustard, but any honey mustard would do. …
