This may be controversial, but I’ve decided that beet hummus is far superior to regular hummus. I mean, look at that color!…

If you’re like me, you’re constantly trying to feed your family new foods with the hope that they’ll love them and you can add them to your meal rotation. Most of my attempts result in an “eh, it’s good but not great” response from my semi-picky family. But this time I hit a home run with my Pink Primavera Sauce! …

Spring Salad with Apple Shallot Vinaigrette

March 26, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

If you search the Internet for Easter recipes, the results will undoubtedly be sugar-laden treats full of artificial dyes. But why is this the case? Why must we celebrate every holiday with ungodly amounts of sugar and fake ingredients?

To counter the Easter junk food, I created a colorful spring salad that would make a beautiful starter salad for your Easter lunch. This salad is a blend of mâche and baby greens topped with roasted golden beets and carrots, watermelon radishes, goat cheese crumbles, hemp seeds, and a homemade apple shallot vinaigrette. …

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! …

Caraway Beet Soup

December 31, 2014 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

featured

I’ll admit, up until a couple of years ago I did not like beets. Whenever I tried them, I thought they tasted like dirt. I’ve since decided that the reason for this is that I was eating, well, dirt. But then I tried roasted (dirtless) beets, and I loved them! The key is peeling the beets rather than just scrubbing them, apparently. And roasting them really brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a nice soft texture. Mmmmm……

Fall Gardening

November 5, 2014 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

fall gardening

When David and I bought our house in the fall of 2013, I was ecstatic to find that the previous owners had built six raised beds in the back yard. I immediately researched composting and asked for a composting barrel for Christmas. That following summer I enjoyed three different types of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and various herbs.

My summer plants have since gone by the wayside, leaving room for winter greens (woohoo!). In September, David and I went to the farmer’s market and bought some transplants for the garden. Now, nearly two months later, I can finally go out to my garden to get some fresh kale for my morning smoothie or green juice.
