This amazing chocolate sauce is not a newbie on my blog. On the contrary, it has been accompanying my pancakes for months now. However, I thought something as tasty and simple as this chocolate sauce deserves a separate blog post and even a video (see below) to show you that […]
To be honest itβs getting harder and harder to say something new about pancakes as I publish a new recipe almost every week! Last week it was Chilli Tofu and Kale Pancakes with turmeric and garlic flakes whereas this weekβs recipe is of sweet side having a hint of cinnamon […]
This butternut squash pie is another cake recipe I created for my vegan Candida diet, as I did with my cauliflower-tahini cheesecake. Now that Iβm past the extreme cleanse period, sweet and starchy veggies are back in my menu, at least to some extent, and I thought butternut squash to […]
Every year when the pumpkin season begins I start cooking it in any way I can β I make pumpkin puree to add to muffins, cakes and cookies, cook stews and curries, make soup and risottos, add to pancake batter or just oven-bake and add to salads or use as […]

I prefer quick and filling lunches that I could also eat in smaller portions. Thatβs why I concentrate on legumes and starches when preparing lunch. Thereβll be just a bit of veggies to accompany lentils or beans. I have my huge salad bowl with plenty of veggies for dinner. How […]
My family has had smoothies as first breakfast for a few years now. My husband started the tradition as he was looking for a breakfast thatβd allow him to ditch the first coffee in the morning, as he was anxious to cut down the daily dosage. The thing is that […]
Who wouldnβt crave for a nice and comfy meal like this whole roasted cauliflower at holidays? I know I do. Furthermore, Iβm sure that many plant-based eaters host omnivores during the holiday season and vice versa, many omnivores host herbivores. In most cases, when trying to get conventional eaters to […]
Iβve been thinking of an appealing and tasty dessert to offer you for Thanksgiving. Many of you already know that muffins are my thing, and lately Iβve preferred to use soaked grains instead of flours. You might think that itβs too fussy. Think again! Itβs just the matter of putting […]
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!
