March’s Theme – It’s Income Tax Season, so our brains could use some easy arithmetic; as in seven-ingredient-or-less recipes. Show us the healthy, no-brainer dish you fix for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Think beyond smoothies or drinks, please. (And for those of you living in countries where it’s not Tax Season – we’re pretty sure you and your readers would still love doing the math for seven-ingredient-recipes!) (Recipe ReDux)

Who says a “2 ingredient” recipe has to be bland and boring? Not me, that’s for sure! Simple can be beautiful when done correctly and creatively! A few simple spices and color can make any “simple” recipe extraordinary! Plus, when you add in major health benefits, and a duel purpose, you have a recipe that keeps on giving!

Just glorious cauliflower (with its never-ending uses), golden beets (my favorite variety), Indian spices (like anti-inflammatory turmeric and garam masala), and creamy coconut milk. Roasted and then blended up, this puree can take the place of your classic mashed potatoes, be a thick soup by adding a tad more coconut milk, or even a perfect dip! Just stretch those few ingredients to their full potential and you’ll be saving money (and time) left and right!

As we all begin to spring into Spring, we may find ourselves coming out of hibernation a bit to fast and we may end up with a bit of an early Spring cold. Ah, but the solution is to channel the bright Spring colors and add them into our diet as much as possible. This way we’ll keep ourselves right where we need to be to stay on track and truly spring into SPRING (while also using up the last of the winter produce bounty!)

Simple, nourishing, creamy, and delicious! Veggies can be delicious, all-purpose, full of taste, and there won’t be on sad face at the dinner table! But I do think all the fun is in the color! I like purple food, green food, red food, yellow food too! I love it all! So eat your colors (I mean natural colors) and get ready for a glorious sunny Spring!

So tell me:

+ What’s your best simple few ingredient Spring recipe?

+ What’s your overall favorite food color group? That’s not fair; I can’t even answer my own question!

    Hi Rebecca,
    Great healthy recipes and its sounds so tasty. This sounds like a healthy alternative for mashed potatoes especially for people that have sensitivities to potatoes. Pinned and tweeted.

    I love golden beets. They’re absolutely delicious. Cauliflower is ok. Although I should like it more, since it has so many uses. Combining these two, with the spices that you’ve added, would make for a very tasty dish. I am definitely going to have to try this one!

    What a pretty dish – only you could make something like a purée look that good!
    “As we all begin to spring into Spring, we may find ourselves coming out of hibernation a bit to fast and we may end up with a bit of an early Spring cold.”
    … that would be me. I’m on the mend, but maybe will make this to help get back to 100% =)

    That color! Gorgeous!! I’ve never made anything like this, but it sounds so good!! And we eat a lot of cauliflower in this house, so I’m always looking for different ways to prepare it! Yum!

    I just knew turmeric had to be in the mix but those golden beets threw me for a whirl (in the best way possible!!). This is my kind of cauliflower.

    Hi Rebecca..this is so vibrant and colorful. and turmeric is good for fighting off colds. I have never come across golden beets – if they are sweet like regular beets, they will really balance out this mash.

      Omg! Haha! Yes! Screw green goddess, golden goddess is where it’s at! Gold is more “royal” anyway 😉

      I know! If I can put turmeric in something…I do! Putting it in my morning oats is the best!

    Ohh I’ve never tried golden beets before but they look beautiful in this puree!! Definitely going to on the lookout for them at my grocery store!

      They are SOOO good!!! I taste only slightly different, less “intense” than normal red beets, but they are the best!

      2 of my favorite veggies!! Thanks Jess! (O look and it’s turmeric again! Now you need to start using it more!)

    It’s like mashed potatoes that I SHOULD eat 4 helpings of for all the veggie goodness and anti-inflammatory properties! Oh I really really like this concept! This just might entice this anti-spice girl to go buy some garam masala 🙂

    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

      Garam Masala can be kinda sweet! No spicy heat! I think you’ll love this! (If you liked my curry mac, than this is like the same thing!)
