roasted carrots + rice w/ zingy turmeric broth
pin it! pin it! This simple bowl reminded me of why I actually started this site in the first place. With the emails, sorta silly mismatched dish piles, multiple attempts at a palatable goji berry sauce (one day I’ll get it) etc., this sort of reminder is a surprising ray of light. I may have overkilled it with turmeric-focused recipes here in the last while, so I hope you don’t mind another. When I was studying nutrition in culinary school, we had guest speakers from time to time. I honestly have no idea where that thing got to, but I still make a habit of eating sprouts as often as I can. So we have roots, sprouts, brown rice, and healing spices. pin it! Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the carrots with some thyme, oil, salt + pepper. Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Place the roasted carrots and rice in a bowl. You might also like…
Thai-spiced Pumpkin Soup Recipe
This pumpkin soup recipe is so perfect for this time of year that I can't help sharing it with you. That being said, I've got about 15 minutes of battery left on my laptop (with no power source in sight), so this write-up is going to be quick. The other night after toasting pumpkin seeds the oven was hot so I cut both a small pumpkin and acorn squash in half, slathered them with butter, kissed them with a sprinkling of salt and in they went. It wasn't my intention to write up the recipe for 101 Cookbooks, so I wasn't paying particularly close attention to exact ingredient amounts. Keep in mind that different Thai curry pastes have differing strengths. 2 acorn squash, pumpkins, or other smallish winter squash 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1 14-ounce can coconut milk 1 teaspoon (or more) red Thai curry paste water 2 teaspoons fine grain sea salt (or to taste) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and place the oven racks in the middle. Serves six. Print Recipe
Slow Cooker Naked Apple Butter
Last year, I dusted off my slow cooker and made my first batch of apple butter. While it tasted incredible, I realized (after the fact) that I cooked the apples way too long. I was left with a mere cup of apple butter from 5 pounds of apples. That sure was some thick, concentrated apple butter, let me tell you! This time around, I did things differently. It’s also naked. For this method, you only need a few ingredients: 1) Sweet + tart apples. 2) Cinnamon. 3) Lemon Juice. Notes: You can also add apple juice or sweet apple cider, but I didn’t bother for this batch. I don’t find it needs any added sweetener when I use around 50% sweet apples, but feel free to add sweetener if your taste buds prefer. How I made it: As always, I’m giving you chatty detailed steps, photos, and tips, but the actual process is very easy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. It will look similar to this after blending – it’s like the silkiest apple “sauce” you’ve ever tasted, but not quite thick enough for a butter yet! 6. 7. Swirl!
The magical air fryer: Mongolian Tofu + Seasoned Fries recipes
Let’s talk about my latest obsession. I bought an air fryer. Because, you know, I needed another kitchen appliance. For months I fought it, as I watched food photo after photo go up on Facebook featuring gorgeous fried food with the promise of no-oil or low-oil. Here’s what I know about air frying: A mechanical fan circulates the hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy layer thanks to the Maillard effect. Hot air frying is a new cooking technique that allows you to fry, grill and roast without the use of copious amounts of fat or oil. Just over two weeks ago on the Facebook group Power to the Veg! And, guess what? The fries / wedges tasted great. Okay, the next time I sliced the potatoes and tossed with just a wee bit of oil (no, I didn’t soak or pat dry, this is scientific research folks!). Now we’re getting somewhere. And from there I kept playing. Like these seasoned fries. But tofu. Tofu is what I really, really wanted to master. And then enjoy!
