When it comes to cooking with fresh spring vegetables, sometimes simple is better. Carrots, mushrooms, and asparagus are already so flavorful, all it takes is a few simple additions to really make them shine. For this dish, these veggies are "sauced" up with a bit of wine and broth and enhanced with garlic and fresh … Continue reading Easy Elegant Side: Saucy Spring Vegetables

It has been a chilly week so far here in west Michigan. Cold, rainy, and windy. The kind of weather that makes you want to curl up with a book and a warm mug. If you follow FYB on Facebook, you may have noticed about a month ago that I posted a photo of a … Continue reading Fresh Turmeric Milk

Quick “Pickled” Jicama with Ginger and Lime: A Healthy, Tangy, Crunchy Snack, Side, or Condiment
When I brought home a lovely pachyrhizus erosus (a.k.a. jicama) a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't sure just what I was going to do with it. Not because I didn't have ideas, but because I couldn't decide which one to try. Baked jicama fries? Raw jicama fries? Roasted jicama? Spicy raw jicama chips? Stir-fry? Jicama … Continue reading Quick “Pickled” Jicama with Ginger and Lime: A Healthy, Tangy, Crunchy Snack, Side, or Condiment
Roasted Carrot and Garlic Hummus with Sriracha

However, after whipping … Continue reading Roasted Carrot and Garlic Hummus with Sriracha
Salted Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs
Growing up, my favorite treat in the Easter basket was, hands down, Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. Oh. My. Word. I LOVED those things.

Although I plan to … Continue reading Salted Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs

That's right, I'm jumping right from heavenly cupcakes, to healthful veggies. It has been far too long since I posted a salad here. Like, 5 months too long. Actually, I've only ever posted one measly salad on this site (a dandy, though... my fall favorite, Warm Smoky-Maple Kale Salad with Apples and Sweet Potatoes). Well, … Continue reading Radish, Pea, and Mint Quinoa Salad with Zesty Lemon Dressing
