Saucy Butter Beans

May 14, 2024 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

According to what I’ve been seeing on social media lately, butter beans are having a moment. People are cooking them in rich, creamy sauces and serving them with crusty bread for an easy and nutritious meal. It turns out that this is the type of meal I crave when Picky Husband isn’t going to be having dinner with us — a comforting, satisfying dish that comes together quickly. …

Summer calls for the fresh, bold flavors of sweet basil, home-grown tomatoes, and tangy balsamic vinegar. To bring these flavors together, I created a beautiful dish that would be a perfect side or appetizer for a summer dinner party — Pesto-stuffed Portobellos! …

13 Simple + Healthful Bean Recipes

March 20, 2020 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

You may find that you’re at home with your family for the next few weeks, trying to cook meals that are nutritious and utilize those dried beans you’ve stockpiled to avoid going to the grocery store. Fortunately, beans are the perfect food! They contain protein, soluble fiber, good carbs, and a variety of beneficial phytonutrients. It’s a good idea to eat at least one cup of beans a day; your gut microbiome will thank you! To help you achieve this goal, I’ve given you one new recipe (Creole Beans & Rice) and linked 12 more bean recipes that are easy and family friendly. …

Coconut Apple Ginger Dal

November 6, 2018 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

dal

If you’re like me and you spend your entire October trying to avoid diving headfirst into the Halloween candy, I encourage you to distract yourself with nutrient-dense foods that are satisfying and anti-inflammatory. That way, if you do indulge a bit during the holidays, your body will be able to handle it better. The perfect example of a simple but nutrient-rich meal is this Coconut Apple Ginger Dal, a recipe I found and adapted from Bon Appétit Magazine. It’s so delicious and satisfying, your whole family will love it!…

Summertime Succotash Salad

July 16, 2018 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

succotash

Is anyone else as excited about summer produce as I am? We finally have good tomatoes, fresh corn, and home-grown herbs galore. Abby and I have also been tearing up quite a few peaches and cherries.

Even though my Black Bean Salad is usually my go-to summer salad, I decided I wanted something a bit different to eat for lunch over greens or to serve warm as a side dish. Hence, this Summertime Succotash Salad! …

Sweet Potato and Plantain Mash

November 15, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

sweet potato

I must admit, it’s hard to beat traditional sweet potato casserole for the holidays. But in the off chance that you’re cooking for a group of people who enjoy culinary adventure, I recommend changing things up a bit with this Sweet Potato & Plantain Mash with Toasted Hazelnuts! It’s close enough to sweet potato casserole that you won’t be straying from tradition too much, and the added plantains complement the sweet potatoes with their mild sweetness and starchy goodness. Top the whole thing off with toasted hazelnuts, and you have a nutritious side dish that’s worthy of the holiday table. …

Basic Cranberry Sauce

November 10, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

cranberry sauce

When it comes to Thanksgiving dishes, the cranberry sauce gets very little attention. Nobody ever says, “I can’t wait to load up my plate with cranberry sauce!” I totally get that. After all, it’s more of a condiment than a dish. But as far as condiments go, it’s definitely one you shouldn’t omit. Just a small amount of cranberry sauce adds the perfect amount of tart sweetness to balance out all of those other savory dishes on your plate. It also gives that bright pop of color to make your meal more appetizing.

You could just open up a can of cranberry sauce and put it on your Thanksgiving buffet, OR you could try this very simple recipe and decide you’ll never buy cranberry sauce again! …

Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts

It’s finally time for Part III of my three-part series of roasted Brussels sprouts recipes, and I’ve saved the best for last! I personally love the “Cheesy” Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Ethiopian Brussels Sprouts, but these Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts are a family favorite. They’re slightly sweet, tangy, and savory — perfect for a nutritious snack or a side dish! If you try this recipe and still don’t like Brussels sprouts, I doubt you’ll ever like them. Sorry….

Ethiopian Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Ethiopian Roasted Brussels Sprouts

These bright and flavorful Ethiopian Roasted Brussels Sprouts are my second roasted Brussels sprouts post in my series of 3. The first post was for “Cheesy Roasted Brussels Sprouts,” which are great for kids and people who enjoy savory, non-spicy foods. But these Ethiopian roasted sprouts are perfect for people like me who like lots of flavor with a little kick. And since I’m always finding new ways to add turmeric to my diet for its anti-inflammatory properties, I added some of that too! …

“Cheesy” Roasted Brussels Sprouts

June 2, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

cheesy roasted brussels

For some reason I’ve been on a huge roasted Brussels sprouts kick lately, so this post is really Part 1 of 3 roasted sprouts recipes (woohoo!). Now don’t get me wrong — plain roasted Brussels sprouts are great, but it’s fun to change things up every now and then. This first recipe turned out beautifully, which resulted in my eating a pound of sprouts while standing over the baking pan. Seriously, these Cheesy Roasted Brussels Sprouts are addictive! …
