Parsley walnut vegan pesto

I have always loved pesto. But I can still not figure out why I used to buy it !

It is so easy to make and so much healthier. In this one, only 5 ingredients and mostly herbs and nuts.. !

Also, since I have found out about vegan pesto, I rarely make the cheese version and use nuts and nutritional yeast to create great vibrant green spreads to eat on my toasts, rice or pasta.

If you have 5 min, a bunch of parsley and some nuts in your fridge you can make this one now !

Give it a try by following the link below, and let me know how you liked it 🙂

Sunny Buddha bowl

Buddha bowls are the easiest meals.

Providing you have a few grains and veggies already cooked, a good spread like houmous or pesto, some raw veggies, herbs and seeds, you can compose a Buddha bowl in 5 min !

Today, I had no time to cook, and my fridge was packed with leftovers from the lunch we had prepared for our friends yesterday.

So I just pulled out a few things and set this vibrant, tasty, vitamin and protein packed bowl in 5 min !

In this one: raw kale and yellow zucchini, raw middle eastern cauliflower rice salad, yellow capsicum houmous, grilled corn and a good olive oil and lemon dressing.

Trust me, batch cooking and zero waste food strategy is a real time saver and a game changer to have everyday something new and delicious on your table !

Heirloom tomatoes, kale pesto vegan tart

I love summer in Europe, for its long long days, hot sunny weather, and superb fruits and vegetables. And one of my favorites that I do miss a lot in Singapore, are vine ripe tomatoes. Don’t get me wrong, we can buy some here… but when you spent your childhood summers picking fresh tomatoes from the garden, buy them from small producers in Provence markets, or eat them straight from the fields in Italy… I guess one could say I am a little picky with tomatoes :)…

So we don’t eat tomatoes everyday here… but once in a while I buy super good – expensive 🙂 – heirloom tomatoes to prepare us a treat.

This time it was a simple kale pesto vegan tart.

Vegan gluten free 100% chocolate brownies to die for !

Do you crave for chocolate sometimes ?
Me, I do, but for the real dark chocolate indulgence !
Brownies are my go to treat on a rainy day or when I want to indulge myself. But I can never eat brownies I haven’t baked 🙂
First, never vegan, often far too sweet, and almost always loaded with saturated fat…
So I had to find the proper brownie recipe to make my own.
After a few trial I came up with this one, which is also gluten free 🙂 and definitely super super yummy.
Easy as it requires only 6 ingredients and is impossible to fail.
