Why does food on a stick always taste better? haha. There is something playful, something that reminds us of our childhood, that makes eating the food of a stick emotionally pleasurable. Of course, I like to look for ways to introduce healthy snacking so that we can indulge in foods that serve us back nutritionally and emotionally.
Cauliflower was once the forgotten vegetable, considered to be nutrient deficient due to its white color. How iceberg lettuce got a bad rap for being less nutritious than it’s darker green lettuce friends, the cauliflower had the same reputation against its other cruciferous family members.
I remember buying my first vegan cookbook, in 2014 by Angela Liddon. I had been dabbling in vegan cooking for about a year before, but this was my first official cookbook (so much more have come since then). I recall flipping through the pages and feeling pretty comfortable with the DIY nut milk, homemade granola recipes, and green smoothies. Suddenly, I came across portobello mushrooms being used as meat substitutes in fajitas and burgers, which was a completely new concept to me at the time.
Sometimes the simplest ingredients can bring us the most comfort. When we want fries, this is my go-to recipe. It is quick, easy, and uses basic ingredients that enhance the nutrition of this perfect vegetable side dish. Blue or purple potatoes add color, phytonutrients, and interest to any plate.
