Creamy Kale & Artichoke Dip

January 8, 2016 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

kale and artichoke dip

For Christmas I received Tal Ronnen’s new book, Crossroads, which is a beautiful cookbook full of vegan recipes that he uses in his L.A.-based restaurant. Ronnen’s dishes are colorful, creative, and inspiring — but hardly “plant pure.” Some of the dishes are fried, and almost all of them contain olive oil. And although some people may be into hunting down impossible-to-find ingredients such as black garlic and Kite Hill vegan cheeses (probably only available in California), others of us prefer simple dishes that don’t require an ingredient scavenger hunt.

One recipe that inspired me was his “Warm Kale and Artichoke Dip.” Instead of using store-bought vegan cream cheese or Daiya shreds, he used cashew cream and wine to add richness to this classic appetizer. I thus decided to alter his recipe to make it healthier and simpler to make, and WOW. This recipe is a keeper!…

Apple Sage Dressing with Miso Mushroom Gravy

November 17, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

vegan dressing

It’s officially my favorite time of year — the air is crisp, the leaves are beautiful colors, and the anticipation (but not quite the stress) of the upcoming holidays is upon us. Many of us are making plans for the Thanksgiving feast, which can become slightly more complicated if you adhere to a plant-based diet.

But let’s be honest — even though it’s Thanksgiving tradition to include it, the turkey is the least exciting menu item. So when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, I’m ALL about the sides! …

One of the great aspects of eating a plant-based diet is the desire to try a wide variety of produce and grains. For example, I’ve recently started trying sorghum instead of quinoa or rice in my salads, and I love it!…

Tuscan Bean and Kale Soup

August 18, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

Tuscan Bean and Kale Soup

Last week I decided to change up my usual soup routine and come up with a nutrient-packed, low-calorie soup recipe that I can make over and over again and love every time.

Well . . . mission accomplished!

This Tuscan bean and kale soup is a delicious combination of cannellini beans, kale, sun-dried tomatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and a blend of flavorful herbs. And like most soup recipes, it’s easy to make and tastes great as leftovers! …

Tempeh Marsala With Wilted Greens

February 24, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Tempeh Marsala

I’ve been seeing several recipes for chicken marsala on Pinterest, which has made me crave that savory mushroom gravy and meaty bite. I was thus inspired to develop a vegan version using tempeh instead of chicken, and nondairy creamer/milk instead of cream in the gravy. This recipe ended up being very easy and so satisfying!…

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! …

Roasted Vegetables with Mustard Vinaigrette

January 7, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

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!…

Fall Gardening

November 5, 2014 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

fall gardening

When David and I bought our house in the fall of 2013, I was ecstatic to find that the previous owners had built six raised beds in the back yard. I immediately researched composting and asked for a composting barrel for Christmas. That following summer I enjoyed three different types of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and various herbs.

My summer plants have since gone by the wayside, leaving room for winter greens (woohoo!). In September, David and I went to the farmer’s market and bought some transplants for the garden. Now, nearly two months later, I can finally go out to my garden to get some fresh kale for my morning smoothie or green juice.
