Hi, I'm Casey, the creator of Pith and Rind!

I live in Riverview, Florida, where I’m a yoga instructor, personal trainer, and home cook. I’m into big color and flavor—bitter arugula, sweet mango, smoky paprika—and I’m on my way to great things, like learning the names of every culinary plant that grows in the sub-tropics or learning to balance in bound, revolved half moon (harder than it looks!).

When life gives you roselle clippings...

Roselle, a lemony green with a mellow flavor, teams up with eggplant to create a delicious, slightly sour vegetable dish.

~ Crispy, Cheesy, Roasted Broccoli Rabe ~

https://pithandrind.com/crispy-cheesy-roasted-broccoli-rabe/

Have you been looking for a recipe that could make your greens taste better than potato chips? Look no further. Roasted broccoli rabe, also known as broccolini, has arrived.

The biggest drawback of other broccoli rabe recipes is the smell. These broccoli derivatives have tender tips and woody stems, like asparagus, and the easiest way to cook both at the same time is steaming. Well, just try that, and you might find yourself googling gas masks.

So, on the off chance you don't want to wind up smelling the odor of a bean-only diet in a windowless room, try this broccoli rabe recipe instead.

The aroma of this dish baking in your oven isn't just not-bad, it's incredible!

I based my recipe off the one from . I've never been to their restaurant, but their blog and Instagram page is aaahhhhmazing!

Recently, my mom (Leslie Rutledge Brown) intercepted my soapbox speech about steamed vegetables to give me her own soapbox speech about salads: ā€œLook at all the veggies on salads: lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, onions…..ā€

I laughed at the time: ā€œWho doesn’t know what goes on a salad?ā€ But later I realized she’d given me the perfect recipe. It was the one I’d seen my mom make day after day my whole life. And the ingredient list goes like this:

Whatever you have on hand.

Pretty simple, huh? :) And this is exactly what I try to replicate when I made this perfect side salad with creamy dressing!

This baked sweet potato recipe is one of my new favorite variations on a theme. Recently, I’ve been topping my sweet potatoes with the usual suspects: butter, brown sugar or saffron honey, crumbled pecans, and warm spices. All of the above take this sweet vegetable and make it sweeter. I love that.

But sometimes, I find myself wanting something different, and this is the perfect variation to add to the rotation. The sweetness of the potato is the perfect compliment to an easy vegan pesto I made out of everyday ingredients from our Florida winter garden. Next to the bitterness of dill and mesclun greens, you can taste saltiness, richness from floral olive oil and walnuts, and bright sour notes from lemon zest and juice. In the same way that pasta mellows out a spicy pesto, so does this sweet potato mellow out these flavors into a perfectly balanced bite.

Meat alert. These zucchini turkey meatballs will take a bland meat and make it flavorful using ingredients that, by themselves, might make a nice salad. The choice is yours: you could eat a salad–or, you could eat a salad inside a meatball. šŸ˜

Filled with plenty of veggies, herbs, spices, and cheese, these meatballs come out pleasantly bouncy and ready to be dipped in a yogurt sauce with a tang and flavor all its own. I loved these cooked in an air frier, but you could also cook them in the oven no problem.

Plus, don't sleep on the smoky yogurt sauce!

Three cheers to fiber!

I love a good bowl of oatmeal, but it’s now my second favorite grain bowl. Up first is this one, for overnight bulgur. I used whole wheat bulgur mixed with almond milk, yogurt, frozen cherries, slivered almonds, and almond extract.

You can pick your add-ins based on what you have on hand. I find it’s particularly good with raisins, nuts, grated apple, or frozen fruit. Then, in the morning, I like to add anything that should be crunchy the next day, like flaked coconut, apple slices, or bee pollen. My yogurt proved sweet enough, since I’m not a huge fan of sweet things for breakfast, though ask again when it’s waffle day and I might give a different answer...

Blue moon milk caught my attention on the Internet, and suddenly, my Pinterest boards were filled not with the usual recipes I was looking for, but instead with mysterious, colorful lattes topped with dried flowers. It was a phenomenon that had my name written all over it…

Foamy milk? Check.
Saturated colors from natural sources? Check.
Flower petals, moons, and other symbols of the femininity? Check.
It was love at first sight!

The recipe features blue butterfly pea flower, almond milk, honey, cardamom, vanilla, and nutmeg.

I enjoyed blue moon milk and the luxury and functionality it added to my pre-sleep routine. I hope you can, too!

If you've been looking for a frothy nighttime beverage, you've come to the right place.

This strawberry moon milk recipe brings me back to childhood, when Nesquick strawberry milk was a rite of passage and fart jokes the ultimate source of merriment. Who am I kidding, I still love a good fart joke. But now I’ve graduated–nay, matriculated–from strawberry milk onto strawberry moon milk recipes fit for an adult. Which is to say, I guess, I’m still in touch with my inner child. šŸ™‚

The recipe is simple and can be adapted as you wish, depending on what you have on hand. I use almond milk, tahini, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract. I add this to rose petal tea before finishing it with dragonfruit powder to turn it naturally pink.

It’s a high maintenance recipe. But, then again, when it comes to perfecting frothy pink beverages, I am a high maintenance kind of girl.
