Greek Orange Honey Cake

April 23, 2020 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

Every May in Winston-Salem, the Greek Orthodox Church puts on a huge Greek Festival. Almost everyone I know goes, admittedly, for the FOOD. As a person who eats a plant-based diet, there isn’t much there for me. BUT I can always bend the rules a bit for a piece of baklava or something similar. Last week I came across a recipe for a cake with a nutty orange honey drizzle, and I knew I had to make a healthful version of a dessert with those wonderful Greek flavors. The result was surprisingly delicious! In fact, my daughter’s first bite of my Greek Orange Honey Cake made her eyes bulge with delight! …

Spring Salad with Apple Shallot Vinaigrette

March 26, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

featured

If you search the Internet for Easter recipes, the results will undoubtedly be sugar-laden treats full of artificial dyes. But why is this the case? Why must we celebrate every holiday with ungodly amounts of sugar and fake ingredients?

To counter the Easter junk food, I created a colorful spring salad that would make a beautiful starter salad for your Easter lunch. This salad is a blend of mâche and baby greens topped with roasted golden beets and carrots, watermelon radishes, goat cheese crumbles, hemp seeds, and a homemade apple shallot vinaigrette. …

10 Nutritious Meals to Keep in Your Freezer

February 16, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

freezer contents

As often as I recommend doubling a recipe and putting one half in the freezer for later, I must admit that I have yet to actually follow my own advice. The freezer space in our kitchen fridge is extremely limited, so over the weekend we bought an extra freezer to keep in the garage. Now I have no excuse! …

Cooking Classes in Winston-Salem

February 4, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

store front, sign

If you live in the Triad area, I highly recommend signing up for a cooking class at Southern Home & Kitchen, my favorite store in the Thruway Shopping Center here in Winston-Salem. Not only do they have great merchandise, but they also have a fantastic kitchen in the back of the store where they host several cooking classes each month (see the schedule here!)….

Portobello Bacon Bits (Vegan)

January 13, 2015 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

bacon bits

I have a confession. Even when I was a meat eater, I was never really a fan of bacon. I liked the taste, but I guess the thought of consuming fried pig fat ruined the whole experience for me.

But despite my seemingly un-American opinion of bacon, whenever I’m in the same building as cooked bacon and can smell that smoky, salty aroma, I want some.…

Eggs Benedict (Vegetarian)

I’d say I started the new year off right. I woke up, learned how to poach eggs, made vegetarian Eggs Benedict with potatoes and strawberries, then did a solid workout. It’s all downhill from here . . . …

Lemon Dill Chickpea Salad

chickpea salad

I’ll admit that salad recipes are not my favorite to create. Usually my salads consist of greens and whatever vegetables are in my fridge. But sometimes I want to make my salads a little more special, like when a friend comes over for lunch or my mom is in town. For such situations, this lemon dill chickpea salad is perfect! …

Breakfast Scramble

November 20, 2014 by maryrossfowler Leave a Comment

breakfast scramble

I have a confession. For being a dietitian, I’m really bad at breakfasts. As much as I love cooking, it’s not something I want to do right after I wake up. In fact, most days all I want is a cup of coffee (do as I say, not as I do!). But on the weekends I’m more willing to dirty up the kitchen to prepare a nutritious breakfast for David and me. …
