Christmas is definitely all around us. I mean, it almost seems it has already passed. But it hasn’t. I bring you good news. I have the perfect recipe in case you have to go to somebody else’s house but also if you are the host and cooking. It’s as easy as it gets. This side dish, or better…appetizer, is healthy, light and very easy to do. It’s actually two different recipes. It’s not your typical…
What makes a dessert a dessert? I asked myself this question while I was preparing this recipe. When I was a kid, a dessert had to have sugar in it. It usually came at the end of a meal and it was something I enjoyed, but not too much. I’ve always favoured salty flavours while growing up. Unlike most of my peers, I was that “boring” girl that asked for water in birthday parties…
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…
Tradition says that you have to bury a ring, a coin, a rag, a pea and a stick to do a fortune telling game during Samhain (best known nowadays as Halloween). Each piece will tell you if you would get married or not next year, or if you would be rich or poor. I’m known for being a very positive person, so I changed the game a bit. First of all beacuse I really didn’t want…
Did I ever tell you I am obsessed with Halloween? No? Really? Well, here it comes. Actually, I’m obsessed with celebrating, but Halloween is the most exciting event of the year for me. In fact, I celebrate Samhain, which is the Celtic tradition before it became viral 😂 Galicia, where I live, is a Celtic region and we actually call it Samain. It’s the Witches’ new year! For many years, I celebrated Halloween…
Hey! How’s your April going. Mine has become a hectic month. I’m getting ready to record a music video, while we are quarantined. Which means there’s only two people doing the job of a whole team. Which means: Stress levels going up. But I must say, I’ve been training for this kind of situations. Not quarantines. Working more than I should has always been one of my traits, but what I’ve been training for has been staying chill…
It’s been a while since I’ve made pancakes. Well, actually crêpes…well, they’re actually filloas here. You know what? I made this vegan gluten free batter in the shape of crêpes, thick filloas or thin pancakes. Call them what you want, I’ll eat them while you choose. Jokes aside, one of my favourites as a kid was making filloas (the Galician version of crêpes and pancakes) on Shrove Tuesday. Usually my dad would make a Galician Stew and with…
Do you like ice-cream? Do you like cakes and sponges? Do you like chocolate? Well, then you’ll like this recipe. I don’t usually eat any processed food, but my body needs some “bad stuff” every now and then to feel a little bit more human 😅 The recipe I bring you today is for those who love dessert and can’t say no to processed foods like ice-cream or sponge cake. I am bringing you those two things combined, but I’m…
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,…
Although it’s raining here today, I can hear the birds singing through my back door. Maybe it has something to do with me prepping the soil for the veggie garden (robins love hanging around me in order to catch some good worm breakfast), but it’s obvious Spring has settled in. May it’s a great month for new beginnings, specially now that the New Moon is coming. But what’s better for May when the Sun is shining and you crave fresh…
