After many of my friends and family requested recipes to the never-ending spew of pictures of food on Facebook I have finally been convinced to start my own blog. I am not the best writer and tend to lay off punctuation and common elementary grammar but I will do my best to keep this legible and somewhat clear. Cooking with NO oils, NO added salt and NO refined flours or sugars. Plant based, nutrient dense foods that pop with flavor! I hope you enjoy the pictures and try the recipes.

Beet and Mango Salad With Spring Onions
This is a really colorful and tasty salad. I make this at work and it does not last long. Pretty simple to make and a crowd pleaser!
6 Medium beets, wet roasted
2 Mango, peeled, cubed
10 Spring onion, dry roasted
3 Navel oranges, squeezed
1t Lemon Zest
2T Cider Vinegar
Place the beets in a roasting pan with 1/2 inch of water. Cover with foil tightly and roast at 350 degrees for 2 hours for small beets and 3 hours for large beets. When tender to a knife poke pull out and immediately use a kitchen towel in one hand and the beet in another hand and rub the skin off while hot. It will come right off. If you cool them you will need a peeler or knife to remove the skins. Allow to cool after peeled, once cooled cut into large dice.
Trim the onions and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dry roast at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 min until browned and tender. Remove and chill.
Trim the mangoes into large dice and set aside. Make a dressing with the orange juice, lemon zest and cider vinegar.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and toss. Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices. ENJOY!!!
