I’ve read a lot about how easy it is to do something if you form a habit. That’s why I hate new year’s resolutions done in January. I have a lot of resolutions, but I don’t feel like the first day of the year is going to be the best day to start. Why? Well, you probably stayed up later than usual, you might be hungover if you drink alcohol and if you are, like most people, a food lover…you’ve…
Don’t panic if you don’t have time for making dessert this year. Just do me a favour, soak a cup of raw cashews right now. C’mon, go! Come back after you do it, I’ll be waiting for you here. Done? Now keep reading this post and make the cake in 15 minutes. You only have to soak the cashews 6 hours before, so you are safe. You can read this post, you can read a couple more posts from this…
I don’t know about you, but everytime I think about thanksgiving, my mind places an image of the typical sides: brussels, sweet potato, chestnuts. I’ve always done brussels and sweet potatoes on their own, as sides to a roasted chicken (usually filled with chestnut stuffing). But, no matter how much I loved the chicken, my favourite part of the meal has always been the sides. I’m usually one of those that looks at the menu in a restaurant and sees…
Yes, it’s Halloween today. I know you didn’t have the time to plan anything in advance. I also know you probably have a lot of pumpkin leftovers from all the decorative pumpkins you carved this year. Oh! Wait…this isn’t you? Well, this recipe is good for both cases wheter if you are a party planner or a simple food lover, this vegan Mac & Cheese recipe is just perfect. A while ago I made my first What I Eat…
Since I finished my PhD, I don’t really know how school life works anymore. I was surprised to read that Back To School happens in August for most of you. Also, chatting through Instagram with one of my followfriends she told me she has an exam next week. I don’t really know how life goes anymore… What I do know is that we all get hungry, we all want to eat healthier and we all need…
Koh Lanta turned one and I was there to see it. They invited everyone to an informal tasting to celebrate it. If you want a bit of background, here’s the first post I wrote about them. I had a lot of fun, tried old dishes that I already loved and some new flavours that didn’t disappoint me at all. The place was crowded in and outside and the staff rose up to the occasion by wearing traditional Vietnamese hats. I…
I made a non-raw Poke bowl the other day. It’s very comforting, and although everything was cooked and then cool, it felt very warming. Ingredients: 1 cup of brown rice cooked 1/2 sweet potato 2 radishes 1 mackerel fillet or 1/2 cup of tofu in cubes 1 tsp soy sauce 1 tsp mirin 1/2 corn on the cob 1/2 avocado mashed with lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper 1 tsp nut butter (I used cashew) Lime wedges Method: Marinate…
My family has always relied in the same butcher since I can remember. My grandma used to buy meat from her, and then my mum. But then I went vegetarian for a while when I left home, and when I started eating meat again (for health problems) I wouldn’t eat certain kinds of meat, so I wasn’t a good one keeping tradition. But, she’s closing down and as a kid I remember going with my mum or my grandma to…
I’ve always been a great fan of reusing food you thought you were going to throw away. Bread is one of those things. There’s many countries where you can buy cheap bread that tastes incredibly, so whenever it gets old, you won’t be using it because it’s not worth it. We can buy baguettes here for less than 0,30€! I mean, that’s crazy. If I was going to make them, the ingredients and electricity would cost more. But stale bread…
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s and I posted a picture of a green doughnut on my Instagram stories asking if anyone wanted the recipe. Turns out, a lot of people wanted it. That’s a good sign, we’re still eating bad food for us, but at least we want to make it ourselves! Jokes aside, here is the recipe. By thew way, I used apricot colouring because it was an Irish related recipe and I wanted some orange, white and green. You can…
