Root Groupie

Day 31: This slaw is super easy and even my hubbie liked it. I still have a bunch of winter veg from our winter CSA share, so this is, also, a seasonal challenge. New box coming this week, so I have to get cracking! This is adapted from Raw Food for Everyone, by Alissa Cohen.  […]

Day 29: I needed a side to eat all my leftovers, and an imaginative way to eat the cabbage from our winter CSA, before the new batch arrives, today!  The sauce is adapted from Vegetarian Times Low-Fat and Fast recipe for sesame noodles. Ingredients: For Sesame Dressing: 1 Tbs Sesame oil 1 Tbs Braggs Liquid […]

Day 25: This is a nice way to eat beets; they get really sweet – in their way. This is adapted from Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Kitchen recipe. Don’t do what I did, though, and leave the beetroots to cool down for too long – the skins seemed to stick back on, and they don’t […]

Day 18: I still have a cold which I suspect is why I am adding chili to everything. Here is the guacamole I made with chili. I would normally use fresh coriander (cilantro) but, as I didn’t have any in the fridge, I used my dried powder, instead. Ingredients: 2 ripe avocados (I prefer Hass) […]

Day 16: We have so many sweet potatoes, I am looking all over for recipes.  This is from Kimberly Snyder. I halved the amounts. Ingredients: 2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks 2Tbs coconut oil 1 Tbs Curry Powder (I use hot curry powder) 1/2 Tsp turmeric 1 Tsp Celtic or Himalayan sea salt […]

Day 13: I love these! I adapted this from Kimberly Snyder’s The Beauty Detox. I used olive oil as I didn’t have any grapeseed oil. I, also, used more oregano as I didn’t have dried rosemary in my cupboard. Ingredients: 1 pound of sweet potatoes, cubed 1 Tbs Olive Oil 1 Tbs dried Oregano Pinch […]

Day 8 – I have had to come to grips with cabbage since we kept getting it in our CSA. I have always thought of it as fart food. Now I keep a bag of grated cabbage in the fridge, to throw on various salads or for making this coleslaw.  I tried making the truffle […]

Day 6 – Okay, this is my simple version of kale chips.  I make them in batches of two bunches or more, these days, because we go through them so fast. I’ll give the recipe for one bunch, though, and you can increase as you please.   Ingredients: 1 bunch of Curly Kale (so far, […]
