Coconut Cashew Granola Bars

September 19, 2016 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

granola bars

It’s starting to feel like fall here in Winston, and I couldn’t be more excited! Fall is my absolute favorite season, and it always seems like the shortest. Just the smell of the crisp fall air makes me think of cool family walks, going to the fair, playing in piles of leaves, and eating bowls of hot soup.

But before I get back to sharing soup recipes, I wanted to post my newest — and now favorite — granola bar recipe: Coconut Cashew Granola Bars! My new obsession is coconut manna/butter, which is different from coconut oil in that it’s a whole food — pureed coconut meat. It adds a natural coconut flavor and richness to desserts, granola, and granola bars, and I can’t get enough of it! Combine it with the cashews, buckwheat, and other crunchy ingredients in this granola bar, and you have a nutritious breakfast or snack that tastes like a dessert!…

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!…

Fudgesicles w/ Protein (+ A Product Review!)

June 1, 2015 by maryrossfowler 1 Comment

Fudgesicles w/ Protein

You know you’ve made it as a food blogger when you’re mailed a product and asked to do a review on your blog!

And I’ll admit, because I believe it’s possible to eat all of the protein you need from eating only plants, I generally don’t endorse protein powders.

BUT . . .

When I received my sample of Nature’s Food Organic Protein, I was impressed by its ingredient list and the fact that it’s 100% vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and lactose-free. It’s also free of preservatives, cholesterol, and artificial flavors and sweeteners. The main reason I like this product, however, is the fact that it contains Bacillus coagulans, which is a beneficial probiotic (good bacteria). Probiotics help boost your immune system and aid in digestion by improving gut health, and should be part of everyone’s diet! …

Vegan Queso

March 31, 2015 by maryrossfowler 2 Comments

When I was in high school, I thought good eatin’ was a bowl of queso dip made out of a melted block of Velveeta and a can of Ro-tel tomatoes. I now know that Velveeta more closely resembles the inside of a yoga mat than actual food, so I avoid it at all costs. But like the trans fats I consumed, the memory of that delicious, spicy cheese dip sticks with me.

I’ve been working on developing a better cheese sauce lately, and I stumbled upon a sauce that reminds me of a slightly less rubbery version of melted Velveeta. I added a can of Ro-tel tomatoes, and BAM! I flashed back to my high school days of devouring a whole bowl of queso washed down with lots of regret — but this time, no guilt!

I know food bloggers are prone to hyperbole, but this recipe is gold, I tell ya! Pure gold!…
