Healthy Sugar Cookie Granola

August 6, 2021 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

Last week my son was at camp, but my daughter Abby stayed home with me. At first she was super bummed that she didn’t have camp, but I told her we could have “Mommy Camp” and do fun things together instead. As a result, we had a great week together! We spent time at a local bookstore, went for a long hike at Hanging Rock, NC, cooked a delicious dinner together, and developed a fun new recipe — Sugar Cookie Granola! …

Breakfast Cookies

February 5, 2020 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

Being a parent to two young kids is no joke. Mornings have become a divide-and-conquer task as we get both kids ready for school. When I have time, I prefer to make smoothies or oatmeal, but both of those must be fed to Luke (or cleaned off of the floor and walls later), which takes up my time when I need to be doing Abby’s hair or making the coffee. I needed something healthier than a handful of Cheerios that Luke could feed himself while I do other things in the kitchen. My solution was to create these delicious, nutrient-dense Breakfast cookies, and I gotta say, they’re pretty fantastic! …

How to Improve Your Mornings with Overnight Oats

May 16, 2018 by maryrossfowler 2 Comments

overnight oats

I know, I know, overnight oats have been a thing for quite a while now. And yet, I’m just now jumping aboard the overnight oats train because, well, I’m SO TIRED OF OATMEAL. There, I said it. When I do eat it, it’s because I know it’s good for me, not because I legitimately enjoy eating a bowl of warm mush. But I’ve found that I actually look forward to eating my overnight oats because they’re already prepared when I wake up, I try lots of fun flavors, and it’s like eating dessert for breakfast every morning! …

Raspberry Almond Breakfast Cake

March 27, 2018 by maryrossfowler 2 Comments

raspberry almond

Nothing says ‘Easter’ quite like a pretty coffee cake served on dainty plates. And since we vegan and gluten-free people also want our cake (and to eat it, of course), I decided to alter this recipe for a Raspberry Almond Breakfast Cake so it’s also vegan. The result . . . delicious! …

Peach Buckwheat Donuts

June 6, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

peach buckwheat donuts

Apparently National Donut Day was just last week, but if I’d realized that, I would have gotten my act together and perfected this recipe in time to post it then. But really, do we need a special day of the year to enjoy a good donut? NOPE.

I’d recently bought half a peck of peaches from the Abbott Farms stand, and I was eager to use them in some sort of dessert recipe. I’d also been wanting to experiment with buckwheat flour, so out of my test kitchen came these earthy, peach buckwheat donuts that are surprisingly good for you!…

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!…

Blood Orange Muffins

February 9, 2017 by maryrossfowler 2 Comments

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!…

Carrot Cake Oatmeal

carrot cake oatmeal

It’s finally feeling like springtime here in Winton-Salem, which means the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and Abby is playing outside again! After being indoors with my almost two-year-old all winter, it’s such a treat to be able to play outside and work in the garden again. …

Almond Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies with Chia Seed Jam

April 29, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

cookies with coffee

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, breakfast is not a meal on which I enjoy spending lots of time. I’m usually too eager to start my day and will settle for a bite of Abby’s morning banana and a cup of coffee. I’m also guilty of grabbing a leftover oatmeal cookie and calling it “oatmeal” to make myself feel better, which was really the inspiration for this recipe.

There are several other breakfast cookie recipes online, but all of them I saw contain banana as a key ingredient. Banana is fine, but not everyone likes its strong flavor (my husband, for example), so I decided to make a nutritious banana-free cookie that constitutes a balanced breakfast. The result was high in fiber, protein, omega-3’s and antioxidants, and so delicious!…

Coconut Yogurt & Vanilla Granola Parfait

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. …

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. …
