Kenyan Maharagwe (Spiced Coconut Bean Soup)

kenyan

Every year I have a soup recipe that I just can’t get enough of. I make it over and over again, always excited to heat it up for lunch throughout the week. Well, I’ve found my soup for this fall/winter — Kenyan Maharagwe. …

Turmeric, Ginger, & Lemon Shots

October 28, 2016 by maryrossfowler 66 Comments

ginger turmeric 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

October 6, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

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 takeoutĀ  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 . . . …

Red Curry Coconut Soup

December 11, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

curry soup

With only 10 days until it’s officially winter, I’m all about soups. They’re relatively simple to make, are hot, filling, and — as long as you don’t add cream, oil, or a ridiculous amount of salt — great for your waistline….

Golden Milk + The Benefits of Turmeric

August 14, 2015 by maryrossfowler 6 Comments

golden milk

Turmeric

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately about the health benefits of curcumin, the deep yellow pigment in turmeric. Apparently this ingredient, paired with black pepper, is just shy of magical. I’ve known for a while about its anti-inflammatory properties, but I had no idea that its benefits don’t stop there. Read on!

Because it’s not always easy to fit turmeric or curry into our everyday diets, I’m sharing a way to drink it as a warm, delicious beverage that tastes like autumn and gives you all of the health benefits of curcumin, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper!

Ethiopian Stuffed Cabbage

June 8, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

stuffed cabbage

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!…

Creamy Kale Salad

February 17, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

creamy kale salad

I’ve been craving kale salads lately, so I decided to share my favorite kale salad recipe. I’ve been making it for years, so I’m not exactly sure where I found it. And don’t let the name fool you — it doesn’t actually contain any cream! The creaminess of the dressing comes from ripe avocado, and the apple, beet, and walnut toppings add sweetness and crunch. This is one of my favorite lunch salads! …

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. …

Kabocha Squash Soup

February 9, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Kabocha Squash Soup

Although I spend most of the winter missing summer vegetables, there is one winter squash that excites me every time I see it in the grocery store — the kabocha squash. This is perhaps the most underrated squash because it’s not in nearly as many recipes as butternut squash, yet it is so much better. …

Asian-inspired “Sick” Soup

January 28, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Asian-inspired sick soup

Whenever my husband gets a cold, he gives me his sad puppy-dog face and asks if I can make him some “sick soup.” Apparently, when he was little, his mother made him “sick soup” when he stayed home from school. He later found out that this soup was nothing more than hot water and a chicken boullion cube. …

Roasted Vegetables with Mustard Vinaigrette

January 7, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Roasted vegetables

I don’t know what it is about roasting vegetables that makes them taste so good, but I’ve really been into this method of cooking lately. Last week I roasted beets for my Caraway Beet Soup, and this week I roasted a vegetable medley and served it on a bed of steamed kale with a mustard vinaigrette drizzle. If you don’t like mustard, you could add balsamic vinegar or just eat this dish plain!…

How to Pack A Lunch For Work

January 6, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

I’ve talked with many people who want to eat better but don’t know what to do about lunch during the week. They say they have 30 minutes for lunch, and the only options that are convenient are fast food meals or frozen dinners they can pop in the microwave at work. When I ask whether they would consider packing a large salad for lunch, they usually say they don’t know how to make a filling salad or don’t think they have time to chop up vegetables to prepare a salad every morning….
