Start of Fall Season
I love fall. I love being able to bundle up in comfy clothes again. I love the changing colours. And I love the abundance of veggies on the market! The best of all (in my book) being: PUMPKINS! I celebrate the start of autumn with this little tradition I created: I invite one or more …
Preparing for Patagonia
In only a few short weeks from now, The Boyfriend and I will be travelling to Patagonia!!!! I still can’t really grasp the idea of it, but it is really happening. We will fly out to Santiago in Chili, then travel all the way south to Ushuaia, the most southern city in the world, and …
Plum and apple pie
Remember how I “lost my closet? If not, check out this post. Well, for the last 4 weekends, The Boyfriend, his dad and uncle have been working hard, really, really hard at building me a new one 🙂 I am so, so grateful to them. I don’t know how we would have managed without their …
Mango curry with chickpeas and cucumber
Cucumber is one of those vegetables that I do not much care for. I don’t necessarily dislike them, but find them just kind of bland and boring. Some while ago, The Boyfriend gave me this book with information on all kinds of vegetables, fruits, vitamins, etcetera. Stating pros and cons of all sorts of foods. …
Very Berry Chutney
My bag of veggies actually also contains 2 different kinds of fruit each week. But I guess I mostly see that as an extra and don’t really see it as anything special. My main focus sofar has always been on the veggies. That is also why I am thinking of switching to the vegetable only …
Cooking for guests
I love cooking! But not so much cooking for just me. That is why I love having The Boyfriend around on the weekends. And I love girlfriends who invite themselves over for dinner, which is what happened last week 🙂 However, I am sort of a control freak and perfectionist. So whenever someone comes over …
Another World Food Café Hit
Ready for a (somewhat) adventurous dish? My BFF was visiting for a weekend and I suggested making this. She did not dare though and opted for the vegetable quiche instead. So, be prepared for this one 😉 This turned out to be a somewhat non-conventional, but absolutely yummie dish. I especially liked the combination of …
Pod some beans!
When I got these in my bag of veggies, I knew what my evening would look like 😉 I was gonna pod some beans! Fava beans to be exact. This might seem like a somewhat daunting task, but not to worry! It is very easy to pod these guys and it was such a mindless …
Roasted cauliflower
This one was a little bit of an experiment. My previous issue of Vegetarian Times had this article on several combinations of spices. A fun article, since it gave some good ideas on combining spices and uses for them that I would not think of myself. One was called Ras el Hanout, a Moroccon mix. …
Easy Tuesday Dinner
Normally, I do not cook much during the week. I cook on the weekends and freeze single servings of my dinners. So, after work, I head straight to the gym and then only need to reheat my food and am good to eat within 5 minutes 🙂 However, on Tuesdays, I take a earlier spinning …
