Sweet Potato and Plantain Mash

November 15, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

sweet potato

I must admit, it’s hard to beat traditional sweet potato casserole for the holidays. But in the off chance that you’re cooking for a group of people who enjoy culinary adventure, I recommend changing things up a bit with this Sweet Potato & Plantain Mash with Toasted Hazelnuts! It’s close enough to sweet potato casserole that you won’t be straying from tradition too much, and the added plantains complement the sweet potatoes with their mild sweetness and starchy goodness. Top the whole thing off with toasted hazelnuts, and you have a nutritious side dish that’s worthy of the holiday table. …

Basic Cranberry Sauce

November 10, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

cranberry sauce

When it comes to Thanksgiving dishes, the cranberry sauce gets very little attention. Nobody ever says, “I can’t wait to load up my plate with cranberry sauce!” I totally get that. After all, it’s more of a condiment than a dish. But as far as condiments go, it’s definitely one you shouldn’t omit. Just a small amount of cranberry sauce adds the perfect amount of tart sweetness to balance out all of those other savory dishes on your plate. It also gives that bright pop of color to make your meal more appetizing.

You could just open up a can of cranberry sauce and put it on your Thanksgiving buffet, OR you could try this very simple recipe and decide you’ll never buy cranberry sauce again! …

Ethiopian Sweet Potato Stew

October 17, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Ethiopian Stew

This easy Ethiopian Sweet Potato Stew came from my desire to have dinner cooking in my crock pot while I worked on other things around the house, kept my 3-year-old alive and entertained, and tested other recipes for the blog. The result was too good not to share! Even Picky Husband gave it two thumbs up! 🙂 …

Roasted Vegetable Alfredo Bake

roasted vegetable alfredo

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! …

Happy Fall, everyone! To celebrate my favorite season, I decided to create a sweet caramel apple bread that will fill your home with the fall aromas of baked apples and cinnamon. And to top it off, I added date caramel to make it extra special. Oh man. This cake bread is so good, you’d never guess that it’s vegan, gluten-free, and oil free!…

Chocolate Turmeric Chewy Bars

August 28, 2017 by maryrossfowler 6 Comments

chocolate turmeric

As someone who is constantly looking for ways to consume turmeric for its anti-inflammatory benefits, adding it to chocolate seemed like a no-brainer. I’ve been doing mostly green smoothies and salads for the past few weeks, but eating so well hasn’t quite eliminated my craving for something sweet and chocolatey at night. So to keep from just pulling out a sugar-laden candy bar, I decided to make a nutritious chocolate bar containing dates, turmeric, and Chia seeds. The result is a chewy, satisfying chocolate bar that you can grab to knock down those cravings and combat inflammation at the same time! …

Thai Spaghetti Squash Stir-“fry”

July 20, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Thai spaghetti squash

It seems like once a week I realize I don’t know what to cook for dinner and I don’t feel like going to the grocery store. For this reason, I always try to keep a spaghetti squash on hand. I cook mine in the microwave, so it’s super easy to prepare, my whole family likes it, and it’s light and nutritious. When my fridge is really bare, I serve it like spaghetti — with marinara and some type of protein. But to make things more interesting, I prefer to use up as many veggies in the fridge as I can. The solution? This Thai Spaghetti Squash Stir-“fry!” …

Magic Bar Fudge

magic bar fudge

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I have a major sweet tooth. I try not to indulge too often, but sometimes I need a bite of something sweet after dinner. For someone who loves sweets but tries to eat healthfully, dessert can be a challenge. I created this Magic Bar Fudge to help fuse these two desires — nutrients and treats! …

Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts

Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts

It’s finally time for Part III of my three-part series of roasted Brussels sprouts recipes, and I’ve saved the best for last! I personally love the “Cheesy” Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Ethiopian Brussels Sprouts, but these Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts are a family favorite. They’re slightly sweet, tangy, and savory — perfect for a nutritious snack or a side dish! If you try this recipe and still don’t like Brussels sprouts, I doubt you’ll ever like them. Sorry….

Pizza Cashew Cheese

June 13, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

pizza cashew cheese

A couple of weeks ago, my husband came up to me and said, “You know what you haven’t made in a long time? Cashew cheese. Can you make that pizza cashew cheese that I like?” Um . . . I’ve never made pizza cashew cheese before, but that sounded delicious! He was probably thinking of a sun-dried tomato basil version I made a long time ago, but regardless, I set out to make him a pizza version. What resulted was my new favorite cashew cheese flavor, so I had to share the recipe! …

Basic Cashew Cheese

June 12, 2017 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

cashew cheese

One of the most difficult aspects of changing to a plant-based diet is giving up cheese. Many people are unable to make diet changes for this very reason. But once you know that there are many cheese replacements that are creamy and satisfying, you may never want to go back! Today I’m sharing a basic cashew cheese recipe that I’ve been using (and perfecting) for about seven years. I’ve served it during the holidays and at parties with great reviews! Honestly, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post this recipe. It’s a family favorite! …
