Avocado Crème Brûlée (Vegan)

maryrossfowler — Wed, 18 Feb 2015 22:50:10 +0000

When experimenting in the kitchen, I accept that there will be failures as well as successes. But this vegan crème brûlée recipe is one that resulted in my texting my husband, “I AM A CULINARY GENIUS!!!” This humble proclamation is not one I make often. In fact, I generally only make it when I’m working...

Lentil Shepherds Pie with Gnocchi Crust

After a few posts about desserts and fancy appetizers, it was time for me to post a family-friendly weeknight dinner recipe. I’d been wanting to create a vegan shepherds pie, and when I couldn’t decide what to cook for dinner yesterday, I accepted the challenge. Traditional shepherds pie is a comforting one-dish meal consisting of...

Cuban Harvest 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,...

Mushrooms Fra Diavolo

Even though most of my recipes are designed to be easy and family-friendly, sometimes I want to flex my culinary muscles and make something that deserves to be served with a glass of wine. As I was perusing the latest issue of America’s Test Kitchen, I saw a recipe for Shrimp Fra Diavolo, a spicy...

Veggie Pot Pie

Ah, the classic favorite one-dish meal: the pot pie. It doesn’t get much more comforting than a forkful of hot vegetables in herb gravy with a flaky crust. If you’re like me and you grew up eating chicken pot pie, I promise this veggie pot pie tastes so good you won’t even miss the chicken...

How to Pack A Lunch For Work

maryrossfowler — Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:50:37 +0000

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...

Roasted Citrus Salad

Sometimes people ask me if I grow tired of eating salads all the time, and my answer is always no. There are so many different ways to make a salad, the possible combinations are endless. I will say that I miss fresh tomatoes during the winter, but the cold months are perfect for fresh greens,...

Breakfast Power Salad With Lemon Tahini Dressing

maryrossfowler — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 02:07:46 +0000

Salad for breakfast? That sounds odd, but why? Greens are the most nutritious food, so why not start your day with them? When my husband and I went to Saint Lucia for our honeymoon, our resort had its own organic garden. Every morning for breakfast I ordered the “detox” salad with a small green juice,...

Portobello Bears

It’s quite common for young kids to be picky eaters, so it is important for us parents to find ways to get them to learn to appreciate vegetables. Many kids will eat anything if it is presented to them in a fun shape (unfortunately, this doesn’t work with picky husbands!), so I decided to use...

Thin Mints with Ganache Buttons (Vegan and GF)

maryrossfowler — Sun, 23 Nov 2014 04:28:41 +0000

Growing up, it was a Sunday tradition for my mom to make a chocolate dessert for our family. Usually it was her famous chocolate pie, but occasionally it was an attempt at healthy brownies or sugar-free fudge, most of which ended up in the trash. Despite the dessert failings, I now have a deeply rooted...
