Before you begin reading, please play the October playlist. It makes the experience different, in a good way. 馃檪 This September has been charged with the Virgo energy for sure. I’ve been planning and doing too much stuff. Apart from breakfasts, I really didn’t have much time during the first half of the month to cook for myself so I ended up eating whatever was in the fridge, outside or salads in a plastic package.聽 I know packaged salads aren’t…
It’s March, the 1st and as promised…heres your Spotify playlist for the month. I’m surprised I was able to make this one. I’ve been quite busy this past February. It was a month full of duties. I’ve worked my ass off in and out of the workplace. This past month, Carlos and I have been working on the new album that is due this year. I’ve written string arrangements for weeks and now we are finally recording them. But this…
Whenever I’m lazy for breakfast I think…Avocado Toast. The same happens at lunch and…guess what’s for dinner? I usually have a meal plan for the week, but if everything goes wrong…Avocado Toast. I’ve made so many different versions of the so-called Avocado Toast that I just go with the flow. Lately I’ve been doing this recipe, but who knows what tomorrow brings. I’ve started calling them avotoasts. So, from now on, avotoasts it is. The base is always the same…half…
Do you like ice-cream? Do you like cakes and sponges? Do you like chocolate? Well, then you’ll like this recipe. I don’t usually eat any processed food, but my body needs some “bad stuff” every now and then to feel a little bit more human 馃槄 The recipe I bring you today is for those who love dessert and can’t say no to processed foods like ice-cream or sponge cake. I am bringing you those two things combined, but I’m…
I started growing vegetables in my garden this year. I’ve never had the green thumb, but lately I feel like I’m better at growing my own food. Maybe it’s because I really enjoy cooking it 馃檪 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Si虂lvia Fooding 馃 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) In this video I uploaded to Youtube, you’ll see my first attempts on growing courgettes (aka zucchinis) Someone told me they are the easiest to grow, and…
Don’t you love how pretty colours are? I’ve always been fascinated by them. All of them. Since I was a little worm, I said my three favourite colours were blue, pink and yellow. Ain’t it funny how they are the only thing you need to create the rest of them? I’ve always been wise, even when I was ignorant of what primary colours were. Blue has always been an obsession in my life, though so whenever I have to choose…
I love this dessert. The good thing about it is that it is so energetic and so healthy that it makes a perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, dessert after lunch…you name it! The base is simple: bananas, peanut butter and cacao nibs. That’s it…the rest is up to your imagination. A couple of weeks ago, Luc铆a (a friend) and I decided that the best way to keep in touch was to meet for breakfast on Sundays. And I must say, we…
You know, when people eat meat they usually go to meat when they feel lazy to cook. Anything easier than throwing a steak on a pan and cook it for a couple of minutes? When people go vegan, they go for the easiest substitutes like veggie patties or seitan steaks. They are usually highly processed foods, so that’s a no-no for me. When people go plant-based and want to follow a healthy lifestyle, they go for tofu or tempeh,…
Ain’t it funny how life works? Usually I plan my blog posts. I think about a recipe and then I get ready to take the photos and make more than one crappy iphone pic in order to edit them afterwards and create a nice blog post for you guys and gals to read. Well, life is teaching us lessons all the time, I’m learning about forgetting about anticipation. People don’t mind how much time you spent doing something, they like…
Although it’s raining here today, I can hear the birds singing through my back door. Maybe it has something to do with me prepping the soil for the veggie garden (robins love hanging around me in order to catch some good worm breakfast), but it’s obvious Spring has settled in. May it’s a great month for new beginnings, specially now that the New Moon is coming. But what’s better for May when the Sun is shining and you crave fresh…
