I really fell off the sugar wagon this Easter, so I’ve been craving sweets way too much lately. In an attempt to wean myself off of the pure sugar desserts, I concocted this nutritious strawberry crisp — which is not only full of fruit, nuts, and oats, but is also so easy to throw together when you’re wanting something sweet….
Cardamom Stewed Banana Porridge
I’ve been experimenting with cooking with Indian spices lately, so I’ve developed a love for cardamom. To me, it makes every sweet dish a little more decadent and interesting. That’s why I created this Cardamom Stewed Banana Porridge!…
Simple Chopped Salad with Lemon
Last week I made a spicy Indian dish and really needed a light side salad to balance the warmth and heaviness of my vegetable korma. Inspired by the salads I often see on Indian buffets, I decided to create this simple chopped salad, filled with fresh, crispy vegetables and dressed with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and black pepper….
Blood Orange Muffins
Every winter I get super excited when I see blood oranges in the produce section. If I see them, I have to buy a few. They look like regular oranges with a little red blush on the skin, but when you open them up, they’re a gorgeous crimson. I prefer them because they’re sweeter than regular oranges and typically just contain one or two seeds. I like to add them to fruit salad, squeeze some of the juice into hibiscus tea, or add them to baked goods, like my citrus tea cookies, or . . .
these blood orange muffins!…
Creamy White Bean Chili
It’s Friday, the Super Bowl is in two days, and all I want to do is eat this creamy white bean chili for every meal until I run out. Then I will make more. It’s that good….
Cornbread Taco Casserole
I’ll admit, this is the most excited I’ve been about a recipe in a while. I haven’t had much time to spend experimenting in the kitchen lately, thanks to the craziness of the holidays, but now I’m back on the health train (and thus, back in the kitchen!). Last night I threw this cornbread taco casserole together after seeing a not-even-close-to-vegan version on Facebook, and my family loved it! I’m thinking this recipe will be added to our dinner rotation!…
Lemony Lentil Stew
It’s January, it’s cold, and I’m trying to be extra healthy in the wake of my holiday diet indiscretions, so all I really want to eat is nutritious soups. And since I was stuck in the house most of last weekend due to a snow storm, I had ample time to create this simple and satisfying Lemony Lentil Stew!…
Gingerbread Cookie Dough Dip
Â
Merry Christmas, everyone! As my gift to you, I’m sharing a simple holiday recipe that works well as a nutritious dessert or a fun snack — Gingerbread Cookie Dough Dip!…
Turmeric, Ginger, & Lemon Shots
It’s the end of October, which means soon we’ll need to be protecting ourselves from the cold weather and cold viruses. With a toddler in preschool, I feel like I’m constantly fighting off the viruses she brings home. But thanks to a local juice store, I’ve discovered a method of boosting my immune system and decreasing inflammation: turmeric, lemon, and ginger shots!…
10-Minute Cream of Mushroom Soup
As a mom, I totally understand the need for expedience in the kitchen. I’d love to say my family lives off of homemade casseroles and fancy dishes, but I’m a real human being who, believe it or not, does not live in the kitchen. Regardless, feeding my family well is still a high priority, so getting takeout can’t always be my go-to option. Solution? Quick, nutritious soups that even my toddler will eat! Last week I posted my 10-Minute Roasted Tomato Soup, and this week it’s a 10-Minute Cream of Mushroom Soup. Mmmmmm . . . …
Coconut Cashew Granola Bars
It’s starting to feel like fall here in Winston, and I couldn’t be more excited! Fall is my absolute favorite season, and it always seems like the shortest. Just the smell of the crisp fall air makes me think of cool family walks, going to the fair, playing in piles of leaves, and eating bowls of hot soup.
But before I get back to sharing soup recipes, I wanted to post my newest — and now favorite — granola bar recipe: Coconut Cashew Granola Bars! My new obsession is coconut manna/butter, which is different from coconut oil in that it’s a whole food — pureed coconut meat. It adds a natural coconut flavor and richness to desserts, granola, and granola bars, and I can’t get enough of it! Combine it with the cashews, buckwheat, and other crunchy ingredients in this granola bar, and you have a nutritious breakfast or snack that tastes like a dessert!…
Zucchini Brownies
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! …
