Date Ice Cream with Toasted Almonds (Vegan)

May 13, 2017 by maryrossfowler 5 Comments

date ice cream

In preparation for the warm weather, I decided to dust off my beloved ice cream maker and get to work creating a new ice cream flavor you guys. And I hate to brag, but this Date Ice Cream with Toasted Almonds is fantastic! The dates are naturally sweet and caramelly (now an adjective), and the toasted walnuts, cinnamon, and vanilla impart their own subtle flavors that round out this perfectly creamy dessert. Add some freshly toasted almonds, and you have arrived at dessert heaven! …

Coffee Almond Butter Granola Bites

May 4, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

coffee almond granola

It had been way too long since I’d made granola, which is a shame because it’s a nutritious snack or breakfast that’s easy to take on the go or give to friends and family. I’ve found that the store-bought granolas are full of oil and sugar, and thus empty calories. So if I eat granola, I prefer to make it myself and use nut butter instead of canola oil, and maple syrup or coconut sugar instead of cane sugar. It’s still fairly high in calories, but it’s also packed with protein, minerals, and fiber to keep you full and energized.

For some reason I wanted to try my hand at a savory coffee granola because, duh, I love everything coffee-flavored. With Abby’s help, I came up with this nutritious coffee almond butter granola that my father-in-law described as “almost as good as [my husband’s] shot on hole 17” last weekend. Apparently it was his best golf shot of all time, so I decided to take that as a major compliment. …

strawberry crisp

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….

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. …

Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad
