Whole Food Plant-Based Recipes. No Oil. No Sugar. Simple and Clean.
Believe it or not, but last week I made pureed beetroot soup for the first time. I must say I absolutely adore beetroot, but I’ve been having them raw in morning smoothies, and boiled or oven-baked in salads, as a side, also in cakes or brownies. Now, the good thing […]
These muffins are what my husband calls the ultimate in muffins. For the past 3 weeks I have only been baking this poppy seed muffin recipe. We have them with our coffee as second breakfast and as dessert after dinner. These plant-based peanut butter-persimmon-poppy seed muffins with chocolate buttons are […]
In case you’ve followed my blog for a while, you must have noticed by now, that I love muffins. In fact, I usually bake muffins 3-4 times a week to satisfy my family’s appetite and mine. Fortunately I have developed several whole food not-so-sweet muffin recipes (like those gluten free […]
In Estonia we have blood-sausage tradition (a mixture of blood, barley and herbs in animal intestine baked in oven). These sausages are a must-have on Christmas and New Year’s Eve table, served with cranberry sauce and pickled pumpkin cubes. Last year, for the first time, I tried plant-based version of […]
It is nearly Christmas and if you haven’t made vegan gingerbread cookies yet, it is about time! Now, gingerbread forms were among the things we put in post to be sent to Barcelona. So, I was waiting and waiting for the forms to be able to take new photos of […]
It is this time of the year when both adults and children have sweet treats more often. It is absolutely fine, but you can also have your sweet bites while sticking to healthy eating. We do not need the over-stimulation and weight gaining side effects of the conventional sugary/oily candies […]
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 […]
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 […]
I eat smoothies for breakfast every morning, except when it’s Sunday and I we make pancakes (need to make a separate post about that) instead. Morning is the one time at a day I can skip preparing food, as this is when my husband possesses the kitchen – I enjoy […]
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 […]
I was supposed to pack this morning, as we are going away to Barcelona for the winter in less than a month. Instead I felt the urge to bake something good and smell the heavenly smell coming from the oven. I’ve been doing a lot of chocolaty goodies lately – […]
Everyone craves for comfort food – some more than others. All of you know what happens when you munch on a conventional brownie – you’ll feel bad, guilty, and gain weight. Can food be comforting and healthy at the same time? I have good news for you – you can […]
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!
