my love for vegan foods
I am crazy about winter salads lately, in the last weeks I ate everyday one. With beets, or brussels sprouts or carrots or sweet potatoes…Oh, sweet sweet potatoes! You know, a huge bowl of this salad and I feel happy. There are just so many tastes and textures in one bite, sweet, earthy, nutty, “cheesy”, spicy……
Happy New Year! I hope you all survived the first days of January and the hangover is over. I am really excited about the new year, the new start, I have big plans for this year. I don’t really believe in new years resolutions, but I enjoy the concept of the new and fresh start….
It’s already December, Christmas is almost here,and I really started to be excited about it. Just a few weeks, wow, time goes by so fast. I think a lot of presents and probably even more of the Christmas dinner. Having a lots of dinner ideas, I thought of starting a little section, where I show you some of my Christmas recipes. Nothing special, just vegetarian or vegan dishes, which from one hand are festive and special, so not something we eat everyday, but from the other hand things, which don’t take ages to prepare. I surely don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen.

I eat very often quinoa salads. Let’s say 2-3-4 days a week for sure. It is just something I can make so easily, especially if I cook a bit more quinoa once a week, so I can just use it up the next days. I really love it warm, right after the quinoa is cooked or also cold, out of the fridge. For me quinoa salads are just the most perfect way to use up any leftover greens, fresh or roasted veggies, nuts or herbs.

Just an other soup recipe, I can’t help, all I wanna eat nowadays is soup. I think that one of the best ways to stay warm is to get a big bowl of hot soup. Great thing is that I can also prepare a large amount of these soups and eat it the next days. Anytime I would feel I need a little energy and something to warm me up, I just get a bowl of a soup. Yummy!

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A/beta-carotene, vitamin D, vitamin B6 and vitamin C, they contain magnesium, iron and potassium, which plays an important role in lowering blood pressure. Sweet potatoes contain twice as much fiber as other types of potatoes, so great for your digestion. The natural sugars in sweet potatoes are slowly released into the bloodstream, helping to ensure a balanced source of energy.
