The most famous versions of this dish are made with good old-fashioned spuds, sometimes with other root vegetables thrown into the mix, but always with a potato-y backbone. However, my Parsnip Colcannon messes with that traditional tater taste by swapping in some other vegetables for my nightshade free friends who, somewhat tragically, can’t tolerate the […]
Carrot Cake Oatmeal with Maple Frosting
Full disclosure: this carrot cake oatmeal is one of my signature, sneaky oatless oatmeals with hidden & non-detectable secret veggies!

I’ve always maintained that while “cauliflower mash” can be tasty, it’s definitely closer to a puree than to anything I think is truly deserving […]
