Most recipes call for milk and cheese to achieve the desired creamy consistency. In my recipe I omit the dairy products and use white beans to accomplish the same texture. Not only does this substitution lower the fat of the chili, it also adds a lot of protein and fiber from a plant-based source. Instead of topping the chili with shredded cheese and sour cream I use diced avocado and fresh tomato salsa. You don't even miss the dairy when dunking your tortilla chips! This recipe could easily be adapted to a vegan bean chili by simply omitting the chicken and using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. When I make soups I tend to go big because I like to freeze the extra in individual serving bowls for a quick lunch in the future. This recipe will serve 8.<br />

It is also filled with vitamins A and C which help make it a great immunity builder. This smoothie is one of my favorite breakfasts. The lemon cuts the bitterness of kale and the little bit of agave adds just the right amount of sweetness. Kale is tough and full of fiber so it is best to use a vitamix or high-speed blender to break it down. Either way it is still a little chunky towards the bottom of the glass so I usually add a little water or use a spoon to finish it off. <br />

Sole is a delicate, mild fish and this simple brown butter with lemon sauce highlights it's natural flavor. I cut back on the butter a little in my recipe but I think it tastes just as good. I recommend serving it with a fresh salad and lightly steamed green beans. This recipe will make 4 servings. Enjoy! <br />

With all the beautiful pears in season I thought I would make a roasted pear dish. This recipe can be served for breakfast or as a dessert. It will make 4-6 servings and can be prepared in one large baking dish or several smaller dishes for individual servings. I used Bosc pears but Anjou, Bartlett or Concord work well for roasting too. Enjoy! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Beef stew is great cold weather comfort food. Just the act of preparing it is comforting. I love the way red wine, braised beef, onions, and thyme smell as they bubble for hours melding their flavors together. I made this beef stew using <a href="http://emilymaxson.blogspot.com/2011/11/grass-fed-beef-from-butternut-farms.html">grass-fed beef from Butternut Woods farm</a>. Knowing I am using the best quality local beef I could find is comforting too. I served it in bowls with warm whole grain bread but you can pour it over egg noodles, rice or potatoes too.<br />

Butternut Woods is a family farm in Silver Lake, Minnesota that was homesteaded in 1876. Tom Moore and his sister Amy Haben purchased the family farm from their grand-mother to raise heritage breed Highland cattle. Originating in Scotland, Highlands are the oldest known breed of cattle. They have broad horns and long wool-like hair that keeps them warm in harsh climates. They graze on pasture grasses and wooded plants and exhibit a gentle demeanor. Tom and Amy are committed to raising these animals humanely and compassionately. They use rotational grazing practices and do not give the cattle growth hormones or antibiotics.<br />
<br />
I had the pleasure of visiting the charming Butternut Woods Farm this past week-end. As customers who purchased a share of their grass-fed beef, my family was invited out for a tour of the farm when it was ready for pick-up. After a 50 minute drive west of the cities, we were greeted warmly by a bonfire with a cup of hot apple cider. Guests were treated to a hayride out into the pastures to visit the cattle. The family eagerly answered questions about their farm and it's history, sharing a wealth of information. It was a wonderful experience well worth the drive.<br />
<br />
When we got home with our neatly packaged boxes of frozen grass-fed beef, I placed 3 pounds of stew meat in the refrigerator to thaw. I was anxious to make beef stew and test their home raised product. A few days later I made the stew and it was wonderful! The meat was tender and flavorful. I will post the stew recipe soon.<br />
<br />
Why is it important to buy grass-fed pasture raised beef? Cows are ruminants which means they were created to eat fiber filled grasses, plants and shrubs. The beef you buy at the grocery store is from cows that were fed corn, soy and animal by-products (unless labeled otherwise). Their systems were not made to process such starchy foods and as a result some animals become infected with disease so they are given a constant dosing of antibiotics. These cows are also packed into commercial feed lots with not much room to move and stand in their own waste. Not only is pasture raised beef more natural, humane and eco-friendly, it is healthier for us. Grass-fed beef is lower in overall fat and has more omega 3 fats from the grass. If you are interested in learning more about how beef and other foods are commercially produced in America, there are some great books and movies that discuss these topics. A few I would recommend are <a href="http://The Omnivore's Dilemma">The Omnivore's Dilemma</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Food-Inc-Eric-Schlosser/dp/B0027BOL4G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320421512&sr=8-2">Food Inc.</a>, and, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Vegetable-Miracle-Year-Food/dp/0060852569/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320421588&sr=1-1">Animal, Vegetable, Miracle</a>. If you are interested in purchasing grass-fed beef from Butternut Woods farm please contact them at <a href="mailto:butternutwoods@gmail.com">butternutwoods@gmail.com</a>. I know I will be buying another share this spring and visiting the farm again!<br />

Making a smoothie is a healthful way to enjoy the taste of pumpkin pie without all the extra refined sugar and calories. Today we begin a season of holidays where treats and desserts seem to be everywhere. So the next time you walk past that bowl of Halloween candy, just keeping walking and make one of these to satisfy your sweet tooth!<br />

Fried rice is quick and easy to make at home. It is a great way to clean out the refrigerator using whatever vegetables you have on hand and is a satisfying meatless entree. In this recipe I use carrots, shiitake mushrooms and peas but you can add broccoli, peppers, beans, corn, anything you like. I always have <a href="http://emilymaxson.blogspot.com/2011/04/trader-joes-frozen-organic-brown-rice.html">Trader Joe's frozen brown rice</a> on hand so I just warm it up and use that for the rice. This recipe will serve 3 as an entree or 6 as a side dish.<br />

Ah, the sweet potato. Once my childhood nemesis, now a favorite side dish at dinner. As a child I spent many an evening staring down various cold vegetables on my plate, long after the rest of my family had finished eating and were off enjoying their evenings. The sweet potato was one of those vegetables. Today I really enjoy them and my favorite way to prepare them is baked as fries. In this recipe I season them with southwestern spices, but they are great with just salt and pepper too. My kids eat them this way which is great because they are full of beta carotene and Vitamin A. <br />

They are packed with protein and make a great quick breakfast or afternoon snack. This recipe includes a streusel-like topping made with pecans, butter and honey. The topping can be omitted if preferred. One batch makes 16 muffins. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Eating coleslaw is a great way to include more cruciferous vegetables like cabbage in your diet. Cabbage is low in calories, high in calcium and is considered to have cancer preventive benefits. In this coleslaw recipe I add apples which are high in fiber and help regulate blood sugar, and carrots which are high in the antioxidant beta carotene. The creamy dressing is made with yogurt and I use honey to sweeten it instead of refined sugar. I also add toasted walnuts for a nutty taste. Walnuts are full of antioxidants, good fat and have anti-infammatory benefits. </span></div></td></tr>

This beautiful salad features one of fall's best super foods, the pumpkin. I was inspired by the cute little pie pumpkins I have been seeing at all the supermarkets and stands. My original plan was to include roasted and salted pepitas in the salad, but when I cut open the pumpkin I changed my mind. I decided to roast the seeds from the pumpkin I was cutting and put them in the salad instead. In hindsight I think the store bought pepitas are a better choice only because the have a better crunch. However I will still roast the seeds for snacking the next time I make this, since I ate almost half of them anyway while I was preparing the salad.<br />

This smoothie is a great post-workout recovery drink or back-to-school breakfast. I like to use frozen bananas because it gives the smoothie a milkshake-like consistency. I am a little picky when it comes to bananas. I don't like them too green or too brown. When my bananas are at their ideal ripeness for my taste, I cut them up and toss them into a freezer bag or container. That way I always have ripe bananas on hand for smoothies. If you don't have bananas in your freezer you can use the ones on your counter, just throw in a handful of ice.<br />

Yesterday was our first day of crisp fall weather. As much as I live for summer here in Minnesota, I really do love fall. I enjoy the beauty of the changing leaves, honeycrisp apples and hot cider, sweaters and boots, and of course warm soup. One of my favorites to make this time of year is Roasted Butternut Squash. This recipe is easy to make and is packed with nutrients. Butternut squash is high in carotenoids which protect our cells from free radicals. It is also a great source of Vitamin A and supports our immune systems. Something we need as we enter cold and flu season!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">About 2 years ago I met my sister in New York city for a few days. She is a Senior women's apparel designer for a sportswear company out west, and she often has to go on shopping trips to check out trends and get inspired. I was fortunate to tag along with her on this one. Rough, I know. Before we left she told me that since I am the foodie I could pick out the restaurants. She had only one request. That we eat lunch at least once at Cafe Habana so she could get this fabulous grilled cuban corn. I of course complied and we went to this great little restaurant in Nolita. It turned out to be one of the best things I ever ate and I dream of it often. I have since tried to recreate this simple but delicious dish. I lightened it up a bit with a little less slather and cotija. But it is still fabulous. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Cooking burritos over a campfire is a fun way to enjoy a meal together. Your family and guests get to be involved in preparing the food. Start by building a campfire and then let it burn down for about an hour so you get a nice coal base. While the fire is burning you can prepare your favorite burrito fillings and set them up buffet-style. Set out corn, flour, whole-wheat, or sprouted tortillas and sheets of foil. Everyone can pick and choose their favorites and build their own custom burrito. When the fire is ready, set a cooking grate over the coals and place foil-wrapped burritos on the grate. You can use anything for fillings, steak, chicken, seafood, vegetables etc. Here are a few ideas:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My friend Patricia recommended my husband and I see the movie "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead", so we watched it on Netflix last night. It is an amazing story about an Australian man named Joe Cross who was overweight and suffering from an autoimmune disease. He decided to do a juice fast for 60 days as he traveled through America. As a result he lost weight, controlled his disease without medications, and motivated others along the way. Joe is charming, blaming only himself for his condition, and shares what he has learned without being judgmental. This film was very well done and is a great testimony to the power of the micronutrients found only in fruits and vegetables. I highly recommend it and hope you find it as inspiring as we did! </div>Emily Maxsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927541144086324356noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716454222698332473.post-10592983423598644462011-08-29T18:48:00.000-07:002011-08-29T18:48:06.421-07:00Maple Glazed Salmon with Fresh Peach Salsa<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiB9YYT4MOQFnNv8a39XtPAGwsiWn6-4nswowIcoN7OuJszy1oDidayWkE2OfXfmx0uCOOSnbckFn_bgQwGUocxtoGzssMKOoD_9HygOdMWsiXpeDe1os0gl9d0YdyzDlnsCVIyD0mq8oO/s1600/DSCF0762_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiB9YYT4MOQFnNv8a39XtPAGwsiWn6-4nswowIcoN7OuJszy1oDidayWkE2OfXfmx0uCOOSnbckFn_bgQwGUocxtoGzssMKOoD_9HygOdMWsiXpeDe1os0gl9d0YdyzDlnsCVIyD0mq8oO/s320/DSCF0762_2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I received some beautiful organic Colorado peaches from my fruit share last week. My family went through them pretty fast, and we had just a few left this afternoon. I decided to make a fresh salsa with last two, and serve it with the wild sockeye salmon I was baking for dinner. The flavors complemented each other really well, and the colors were gorgeous! </div><div style="text-align: left;">I will definitely be making it again soon! </div><div style="text-align: left;">I served it with my <a href="http://emilymaxson.blogspot.com/2011/05/cauliflower-puree.html">Cauliflower Puree</a> which added a nice creamy texture to the meal.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
