This week has been a whirlwind as I try to complete the rest of my essays before the end of my semester in just a few short weeks. That same feeling of being a student always returns as the jumble for the end of the year arrives. It is that same feeling I would get…
The past couple of weeks have been great and nonstop! My grandma came to visit me here in Belgium two weeks ago and we’ve been having a ball of a time enjoying each other’s company, strolling around the streets of Amsterdam and Belgium together, enjoying lots of chocolate and now getting ready for a lovely…
If you know me at all you probably know that secretly there is an old lady in me trying to find her way out. She usually presents herself in Friday night bake-fests, my love for spending hours walking through museums, as well as my secret love for knitting. This time she came out in…
Life has been super busy around here lately. After deciding to focus my thesis on food a couple weeks ago I’ve been trying to work out the best angle and approach for my research. Let’s just say I am getting really excited (and nervous) to start my research soon and also find the time to…
I’ve been dreaming of this recipe for a while now. A muffin that is infused with peanut butter and full of hearty oats. The kind of muffin that is slightly sweet and goes down perfectly with a big cuppa coffee in the morning. One of the biggest obstacles in baking with oats is that many oat-based recipes…
I hinted at an amazing Baked Tomato Sandwich in my last post and I knew I had to share with you my favourite way to put this pesto to some serious good use in what might just be the easiest meal ever. This fantastic Open-Face Roasted Tomato Sandwich is crunchy, juicy, savory, slightly salty and tastes like the kind of lunch you would get on the terrace of…
Pesto is one of my favourites and I am always looking for ways to make it lighter, more nutritious, and tastier – let’s just say this Roasted Broccoli Vegan Pesto exceeded my expectations. The roasted broccoli adds a dimension to this pesto that is unmistakably flavourful, slightly nutty as well as contrasting the taste of the fresh…
Some weeks you just need a good piece of of soft, chocolatey, slightly sweet, and decadent Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread. This week is one of those weeks and this cake bread has filled the Healthy Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread void in my life quite perfectly. The real reason I need this in my life is because over these past…
Hummus was invented back in the 13th century by the hummus gods of the Mediterranean and snack time would never be the same again. For all my friends, family and hummus enthusiasts out there [you know who you are… I’ve already been told by a couple people calling this dish hummus is “blasphemy” :p] who cringe at the…
Here’s to my first post of 2014! If you are not into smoothies (yet!) then you have to try this one. It is creamy and satisfying with hints of vanilla and sweetness. This smoothie reminds me of drinking a fruity sorbet – without all the added sugar. It is the kind of smoothie that will get you hooked on smoothies in…
This creamy and very sweet caramel makes the perfect anytime treat! It makes for the perfect addition to any sweet eat – especially apples [Hehe, it turns out I am a poet and didn’t even know it ;)]. It is made in under 10 minutes and does not require any fancy sugar thermometers [phew!]. This…
This soup is too good to keep all for myself! I think it might even be my best soup yet. It has so much flavour, creamy, and comforting 🙂 As the weather gets colder I love a good soup that has some substance. A soup that is thick, filling and super creamy. This soup fulfills my…
If you are looking for a healthy, yummy, quick and easy weeknight meal then look no further – you’ve found it right here! This veganified and healthified butter chicken is whipped up in less than 30 minutes and is soo delicious! I wish I had more of this butter chicken to photograph! We enjoyed…
