Thanksgiving Apple and Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving Apple and Pumpkin Pie

I know that celebrating Thanksgiving is a bit of a controversial topic nowadays.     I understand the underlying causes of the first celebration, but I also believe that giving thanks is a great excuse to celebrate.     So, acknowledging that fact, I decided to incorporate pumpkin as an homage to Native Americans in my apple pie recipe this year.      In Spain, Thanksgiving is something we don’t really celebrate.     It’s become something known because of…

Avocado Toast |VEGAN · PLANT-BASED · GLUTEN-FREE · SOY-FREE|

Whenever I’m lazy for breakfast I think…Avocado Toast. The same happens at lunch and…guess what’s for dinner? I usually have a meal plan for the week, but if everything goes wrong…Avocado Toast. I’ve made so many different versions of the so-called Avocado Toast that I just go with the flow. Lately I’ve been doing this recipe, but who knows what tomorrow brings. I’ve started calling them avotoasts. So, from now on, avotoasts it is. The base is always the same…half…

Broccoli with tahini and tangerine sauce: VEGAN|PLANT·BASED|GLUTEN·FREE|SOY·FREE|

You know, when people eat meat they usually go to meat when they feel lazy to cook. Anything easier than throwing a steak on a pan and cook it for a couple of minutes? When people go vegan, they go for the easiest substitutes like veggie patties or seitan steaks. They are usually highly processed foods, so that’s a no-no for me.   When people go plant-based and want to follow a healthy lifestyle, they go for tofu or tempeh,…

Sardine Stew:

Sardine Stew:

I bought too much sardines the other day, I needed my omega3. Although my favourite way to eat them is 2 minutes each side on a pan, I felt like I needed to do something different with the remaining 500 gr I had. I usually search for recipes in English, that’s a thing I’ve been doing since I first searched for a recipe on the Internet, because at the beginning, it was easier to find international recipes that way. This…

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

Since I finished my PhD, I don’t really know how school life works anymore. I was surprised to read that Back To School happens in August for most of you. Also, chatting through Instagram with one of my followfriends she told me she has an exam next week.     I don’t really know how life goes anymore…     What I do know is that we all get hungry, we all want to eat healthier and we all need…

Roscón de Reyes: King’s Cake for the Twelfth Night

I know I’m late. I mean, the Epiphany was celebrated yesterday and I’m posting this today…But let’s be honest, 99% of you bought the cake yesterday and were not willing to make it yourselves. I was like that a couple of years ago, it’s more convenient. But I love making food, and I want to bake more, because I’m not very good at it. And I think I won’t ever be good at it, because I never follow recipes. For…
