Veggie-Chickpea Stew with Peanut Butter Sauce

February 2, 2015 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

Veggie stew or wok (I’m nor sure what would be the best term for the dish as the veggies are cut in wok-style, but cooked covered) is one of these easy and quick recipes that come handy when you are really hungry or in a hurry. The first time I […]

Tortilla Bowls Filled with Rice-Lentil-Veggie Stew

November 26, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

Usually when we eat lunch at home, I prefer to prepare something very quick, like steamed broccoli, boiled or oven-baked beetroot and some canned beans or red lentils. This Sunday when we got home, I discovered we had run out of the quick fixes and, as here in Barcelona all […]

Hearty Pumpkin-Lentil Risotto

November 20, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

I needed a nice hearty dish that would use some pumpkin for the next meal plan. As I’ve made so much pumpkin soup lately, I decided to go for a risotto. For a nutritionally complete meal both legumes and grains need to be on the plate, so I added brown […]

Festive Potato-Leek Quiche

October 21, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

Like many other dishes, this quiche was born out of necessity – I had a big bunch of leek my mom had brought me in the fridge. So, I had to create a recipe that used a lot of leek. I chose quiche as I hadn’t prepared one for a […]

Hemp Pasta with Spinach-Tomato Sauce and Chickpeas

September 17, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

Pasta is one of my favourite meals these days. I find it both filling and comforting. Usually I’m having spelt spaghetti, rice-millet spirals, or some other whole grain and generally non-gluten pasta. A few weeks ago I discovered hemp pasta from Mahemarket – I had never bought it and thought […]

Juicy Beet-Chickpea Patties

August 28, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

Patties are not something I make very often, as it is more time-consuming than preparing food on stove top. However, every now and then I take the time and delight my family. Beet and chickpeas is probably one of the most popular combos for patties – but hey, what can […]

Cauliflower-Pumpkin Curry

July 24, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

Who wouldn’t like a nice and spicy curry? Lately, curry has become one of my favourite foods, which I prepare from all possible and impossible ingredients and serve with whole grain pasta, rice, raw buckwheat or quinoa. You can really let your imagination fly with curries!

Plant-Based Flourless Kale-Mushroom Pizza

July 2, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

I know I missed the international vegan pizza day, but this was because I was finishing eCornell’s course on Plant-Based Nutrition – a pretty good excuse I think 🙂 All the same, I managed to prepare a pizza my family loved a bit later. Healthyandnourished.com and veganricha.com inspired me to […]

What-You-Have-In-Hand Oven Omelette

May 20, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

There I was the other evening – the fridge almost empty, but needed to fix something for dinner. I only had a summer squash, carrots, half turnip, potatoes, and celery stalks left. At first I thought I’d just make a quick wok with some beans and rice, but then noticed […]

Oil-Free White Bean Salad Dressing

May 15, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

When I adopted whole foods’ diet, the hardest part was to find substitution to the oil I used to pour over anything. Sounds familiar? After having analyzed my menu thoroughly, I realized how easily even just a small spoonful of oil raises fat percentage and gives empty calories. The oil/fat […]

Cashew Sour Cream/Mayonnaise

April 21, 2014 by Nele Liivlaid 0 comments

It is the first time I tried making mayonnaise, and I can tell you I have never tasted a better one. Moreover, it is oil-free, plant-based and ridiculously easy to make! I poured this delicious mayonnaise on black-bean tortillas and stuffed portabellas, but you can eat it with almost anything! […]

About Me

Nele Liivlaid

I've been into healthy eating for many years, but developed a more profound interest in nutrition and related diseases when I started reading The China Study and other special books on nutrition. After being in real estate and hospitality business for more than 10 years I decided to totally change my path to spread the word about healthy and sustainable nutrition and lifestyle. I am also a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate graduate from eCornell. I hope you enjoy my whole food plant-based recipes and practical tips!
