About Me

Usually I don't eat bread - like, ever - but this spicy hummus spread made me eat several slices of bread. This tells you a lot about the tastiness of this humus (or about my inconsistency).

Since i've had a huge organic Hokkaido pumpkin (my favourite) lying around in my room ever since my birthday in September, i decided to make several recipes with this big baby!

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Pumpkin Ketchup
Pumpkin Hummus

The latter one is probably my favourite, though it's hard to tell because each of the 3 dishes have their very unique taste. I've made a bunch of hummus variations so far (classic hummus, curry hummus, carrot hummus), but this one has a nice sweet twist and makes a perfect healthy, satisfying snack.

We also made some Mediterranean Oven Baked Tomato Bread - you can find the recipe below!

Hello Beautiful,

it's #pancakesunday again! How are you today? I'm feeling great because after a snug movie night with friends and a nice sleep in my boy and I started the day with this delicious stack of buckwheat pancakes. Buckwheat pancakes (blinis) are actually part of traditional Russian cuisine, but my version is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free!

I mean, how can you step a Sunday wrong when you start with a thick pancake stack like this?

Yes, i'm vegan, but i don't really like tofu all that much. In fact, the only soy product i do use on a regular basis, is soy milk.

However, when i was scrolling through Jo's instagram feed, which by the way has become one of my top favourites (I somehow discovered him in the depths of Instagram and grew to love him - perhaps because he's a guy and he's vegan and I think that's great - very superficial I know - or just because of his gorgeous vegan food pictures!)

Believe it or not, but this dessert is much healthier than what most people have as a main meal! It is based on kidney beans and cornmeal, sweetened with nothing but fruit and xylitol (read about the incredible - dental! - health benefits of xylitol here or here).

But if you didn't know, you wouldn't even notice.
