I gotta say, I’m SO glad it’s fall! I enjoy the summer, but it’s hard to beat those crisp fall days, the colorful leaves, the return of the Dixie Classic Fair, and the fall comfort food recipes. I’m also turning 29 tomorrow (for the third year in a row)! To celebrate, why don’t you make this comforting, nutritious, creamy Roasted Vegetable Alfredo Bake? It’s so good and filling, you’ll swear it contains dairy. But actually, I used my kitchen wizardry to make sure this one-dish wonder is vegan, gluten-free, and oil free! …

Ethiopian Roasted Brussels Sprouts

These bright and flavorful Ethiopian Roasted Brussels Sprouts are my second roasted Brussels sprouts post in my series of 3. The first post was for “Cheesy Roasted Brussels Sprouts,” which are great for kids and people who enjoy savory, non-spicy foods. But these Ethiopian roasted sprouts are perfect for people like me who like lots of flavor with a little kick. And since I’m always finding new ways to add turmeric to my diet for its anti-inflammatory properties, I added some of that too! …

For some reason I’ve been on a huge roasted Brussels sprouts kick lately, so this post is really Part 1 of 3 roasted sprouts recipes (woohoo!). Now don’t get me wrong — plain roasted Brussels sprouts are great, but it’s fun to change things up every now and then. This first recipe turned out beautifully, which resulted in my eating a pound of sprouts while standing over the baking pan. Seriously, these Cheesy Roasted Brussels Sprouts are addictive! …

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!…

Breakfast Scramble

breakfast scramble

I have a confession. For being a dietitian, I’m really bad at breakfasts. As much as I love cooking, it’s not something I want to do right after I wake up. In fact, most days all I want is a cup of coffee (do as I say, not as I do!). But on the weekends I’m more willing to dirty up the kitchen to prepare a nutritious breakfast for David and me. …
