Warm tofu salad

Bild
If you want to have a special, tasty and fancy looking, but very easy to make dish, this might become your new go-to recipe. It is very simple but tastes delicious. Cold fresh salad with a warm topping is a nice treat. Tofu is one of the best vegan protein sources and brokkoli has so many valuable micronutrients like magnesium and potassium and tons of vitamins and of course a great flavour. If you take the right tofu for this recipe, you might even think about it as a chicken salad, but I am neither a fan nor in need of fake animal products and for me who loves tofu in any form, this is just a delicious and easy tofu recipe. It takes only 20 minutes to prepare completely, or you can marinade the tofu earlier and just roast it. The salad is great for lunch and for dinner, is low in carbs and high in protein and only has the good fats from olive oil. The ingredients are for one serving. Ingredients Marinated tofu: 100g of firm tofu 2 tbsp of olive oil 1 tbsp of dark soy s...

Quinoa beet stew

Superfood beetroot! Beetroots are rich in fiber, calcium and iron (two of the most common "you're vegan? But where do you get your x from?"-nutrients) and beetroot juice actually helps preventing sore muscles when consumed after a workout. Apart from that, beets are absolutely delicious, I love their earthy rooty taste and they work surprisingly well in many different combinations. Also, their colour is just the most beautiful colour you can find in natural products!  Here's the recipe for this yummy beetroot stew with tricolore quinoa and black eyed beans. The combination of beets with quinoa is pretty nice because both the beet and the quinoa have a very strong, earthy flavour. When cooked though, it loses a bit of that strong flavour and you can enjoy the comforting warmth of the rooty vegetable with just a hint of the taste of earth (if you know a good synonym for thar word, pleeeease tell me!). I planned this dish as a one pot dish, so the quinoa cooked i...

Green and yellow dal

Bild
It is getting colder and colder outside and what is better than a warm, spicy, comforting meal to fight the cold? Dal is a very easy lentil stew which is absolutely satisfying through its many different spices, creamy coconut milk and filling lentils. This recipe is inspired by the traditional Indian dish (obviously), but the red lentils only take about 10 minutes to cook and frozen spinach gives it a nice fresh twist, adds great flavour and nutritional value and also gives it a gorgeous colour. This recipe yields two generous portions and a portion has about 488 calories, 26g protein, 16g fiber, and only 5g (natural) sugar. Of course it is also packed with tons of micronutrients, the full nutritional info can be found here (I added it to an online food database and calorie tracker, but without the spices). The dish takes about 10 minutes to prepare (chopping vegetables and stuff) and 20 minutes to cook in a single pan. Ingredients 160g dried red lentils 2 medium sized on...

Starting a food blog.

Welcome! I am happy you stepped by! My name is Anna I am currently studying in Groningen, Nederland and I love cooking. Since I often try out new recipes and random creations from scratch and it always (well, almost always) looks yummy I figured it would be time to finally write down and share my recipes with the world. Of course, the easiest way for this is to start a food blog. It kinda adds a little more dimension to my creations then just proudly posting a picture with some hashtags on my instagram profile ;) I exclusively eat and cook vegan food and I always try to make healthy, vegetable and legume based, nutritional and yummy dishes. And although I have tendencies to indulge in a lot of crappy unhealthy food I am going to try to keep this food blog clean and guilt-free. You might ask yourself, why I am doing this, there are thousands of thousands vegan food blogs, more than enough that show recipes of healthy food and also enough simple student food blogs and yeah, I agre...
