Quick & Easy Beans and Greens

April 6, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

quick & easy beans & greens

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for those of you who are super busy but still want to eat right and/or lose weight (in other words, this recipe is for just about everyone). Even though this recipe contains more than beans and greens, as long as you have those two ingredients, the rest can be whatever you have on hand that you feel like adding.

The result is a low-carb, low-calorie, nutrient-dense meal that comes together in just a few minutes! The garlic and herbs give this dish its savory flavor, while the greens add chewiness and the beans create a creamy bite. …

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. …

Super-Fruit Snacks

March 10, 2015 by maryrossfowler 7 Comments

fruit snacks

Now that Abby is almost one year old, I am constantly searching for nutritious finger foods to give her. There are several fruit snacks on the market, but they all have a long list of unnecessary ingredients that I don’t want to give to my baby. So I decided to roll up my sleeves, dust off my dehydrator, and pull out my food processor.

My goal was to create a nutritious snack that is high in vitamins and antioxidants, is naturally sweet, and is soft enough for a 6-toothed baby to chew. The fruit snacks I came up with contain superfruits goji berries and wild blueberries, in addition to apple and Chia seeds. They’re easy to make, and Abby loves them!

Vegetable Napoleon Over Polenta With Fire-Roasted Harissa

March 8, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

grilled vegetable napoleon

Lately I’ve been craving a simple dish of savory vegetables over creamy polenta, so I decided to make a grilled vegetable napoleon with portobello mushrooms, asparagus, artichoke hearts, and cherry tomatoes. This dish wouldn’t be complete without a flavorful sauce to bring out the flavors of the vegetables, so I created a fire-roasted tomato and red pepper harissa with the perfect amount of heat and acidity. The resulting dish was exactly what I wanted — warm, filling, flavorful, and so easy! …

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. …

Artichoke & Caramelized Onion Flatbread

February 5, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

artichoke tart

Sometimes I will do anything to avoid going to the grocery store, especially now that I have a baby. When I was single and living by myself, I used to love going to Whole Foods in Nashville and frolicking around the produce department. But now I have to wait until Abby wakes up from her nap, buckle her into her car seat, put her into the shopping cart (where she always drops her paci and chews on the cart handle), stop to answer strangers’ questions about how old she is, etc., put her and the groceries in the car, and drive home. It’s nothing short of an ordeal. So yesterday I was determined to come up with a recipe using ingredients I already had, and what I created was so delicious, I decided to share it!

Pear Tart with Vanilla Cashew Cream & Caramel

Pear Tart w/ Caramel

It’s difficult to find a dessert more attractive than a fruit tart. I’d been wanting to make one, but wasn’t very motivated until I came across some beautiful red d’Anjou pears at Whole Foods the other day.

Cuban Harvest Bowl

Cuban bowl

I can’t count how many people tell me they won’t give up meat because they’re afraid they’d tire of eating only vegetables all the time. That might be true if you only eat unseasoned steamed vegetables, but there are so many ways to cook and season produce that if you continue to try new things, you will always enjoy a plant-based diet….
