Hello Everyone! 

It is time for another summery "What I ate" post vegan style. I find myself craving lots of fresh food that hydrates me a lot. Which is very understandable in summer of course. Lately we have been having the hottest days with 30 degrees celsius and what is better than some fresh nectarines or a lovely salad?! Alright but now let me get started.

Breakfast

For my breakfast I always have coffee to function like a proper human being of course. Yesterday I decided on a nice and lovely fruit salad as everyday but this time I had an apple, pineapple and lovely nectarines. They are in season and really ripe and sweet which made it even more exciting and enjoyable to eat. I really did have a lovely time eating it and please, please, please buy yourselves some nectarines. They are great.

Lunch

Lunch was not a big deal or is generally lately so I simply had some more fruit and a homemade ice tea.

Dinner

Starving again of course I had a humongous bowl of ice berg lettuce a whole cucumber 250 grams of cherry tomatoes that made my evening like heaven on earth. I also added some vegan caesar salad dressing and simply had a great dinner meal. 

I hope you liked the post and I hopefully convinced you of nectarines. As they are just awesome.

Hello Everyone!

Over the last week I took some pictures of the food that I have eaten. I didn't think that those posts would be accepted as greatly as they did and I was ask to do those kind of posts more regularly. 

So my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I love to cut myself some different fruit and lately I have really been into pineapple! I hardly have lunch and if I do they are hardly worth picturing. But anyways my lunches contain another piece of fruit or some hot coco. Something really quick and light that I can have on the go. When dinner time comes around I am usually very hungry understandably and I like to make myself a humongous bowl of stemmed or cut vegetables. Although lately I have even started cooking a lot more which you might know from previous blog posts.

But enough with the rambling- here we go: 

Breakfast: 

The left picture shoes my apple and pineapple fruit salad from tuesday and the picture on the right shows us a pear, some grapes cut in half and a banana with cinnamon sprinkled on them.

Some more colourful breakfast coming now. On the top we have an apple, a pineapple with some blueberries.  Left picture on the bottom is a fruit salad with kiwi, strawberries and a pineapple and the one right there is pineapple again, strawberries and grapes. I put cinnamon on all of the fruit salad because I like the combined flavor of it with the sweetness of the fruit.

Dinners:

And these are the two dinners I enjoyed most in this week. First were my Carrot Nuggets which you might know from another post. I had them with a cut up Zucchini and tomatoes. This was seriously so, so good!

And the second one was a meal of stemmed cauliflower and carrots combined with zucchini again and red pepper bell. I had it with soy sauce which made it taste really good. Steemed cauliflower and carrot and broccoli are one of my favorite things to make. 

Well these were the meals I enjoyed the most out of the whole week. I would love to hear or see what you like to eat, maybe I can get some inspiration out of it and I hope you liked the post!

See ya next time XXX C

I've got the best news for all of you vegans! We now can have our share of nuggets because I have discovered a recipe and actually "cooked" it for myself. And this is what I want to share today, so here we go: 

You will need:

One cup grated carrots

One table spoon of coconut flour

One vegan egg

Pepper and salt

Baking sheet with baking paper and a preheated oven on 200 degrees Celcius

Step 1:

You simply peel and grate the carrots.

Step 2

Now you'll need to take a fork and mix it all through so everything sticks together. After you have done that you move on to your baking sheet and form little bowls with your hand out of the carrots mixture and gently squeeze them on there so they look like little nuggets.

After that put it in the oven on 200 degrees celsius for about 20- 25 minutes until they look cross and slightly golden.

Now let them cool a bit.

Hello Everyone! 

I finally took the time to make one recipe that I found and wanted to make for weeks now. It's a vegan Cole Slaw Salad. Yum, let me tell you, cheeky me tried a spoon already and it's so delicious. I am literally waiting for dinner time now! 

It's officially summer so there are a lot of BQQ's coming up and what is better than a lovely cole slaw as a side dish ? That's what I thought but before I actually bring this one to a BQQ I wanted to try it out and chose this one to be my dinner for tonight. If you want to look at the original recipe click here

Ingredients: 

1/3 cup vegan egg- free mayonnaise (--> Veganaise)
3 table spoons white vinegar
dash of salt and pepper
1 head of green cabbage
4 carrots

1. Cut the cabbage into two pieces and slice them before putting it in a bowl aside.

2. Grate the carrots into the bowl of cabbage.

4. Optionally you can add lemon juice of half a lemon

5. Mix everything.

For the dressing you mix the salt, pepper and optional table spoon of sugar as well as the white vinegar with the egg- free mayonnaise and until it's all creamy and put it in your bowl.

Done!

It's easy as. Quick, I was done in about 15 minutes time tops. A plus, my kitties did not get messy at all. Sometimes when I cook or cut vegetables, the kitties looks like I fed a zoo or something but this time there was literally just two or three pieces of carrots around the bowl. 

It's about 6.30 pm here now and I think I will finally enjoy my dinner. I let it set in the fridge for a good three hours, I hope it'll be all nice and soaked with the dressing by now. 

Have a lovely evening and if you try this one as well, tell me how it went!

Hello Everyone! 

I just really quickly wanted to post what I ate on Wednesday. Even though it's monday now.. 

I started my day with a lovely bowl of strawberries and pineapple. And let me tell you this was so amazing and honestly was the best bowl of fruit that I've had in a while. It was really fresh and light and just amazing tasting because I also put cinnamon on it. Just a perfect start in the day.

For lunch I just had something little. I cut up an apple in the tiniest people on earth and microwaved them for 2,5 minutes with 600 watt also putting cinnamon on them. It tastes like a healthy, small portion of apple pie, let me tell you, you have to try this!

So I was basically hungry at dinner time so I had a lovely mug of black tea and a coffee ( because I still had to go to work) and a huge bowl with a sliced up zucchini and a sliced cucumber as well as 250gr of cherry tomatoes.

I got some little chocolate cravings after work so I decided to make myself a nice cup of hot chocolate and drunk that before I fell asleep. Really lovely.

I have decided, next week, since it's my second and last week of intern-shipping I will actually start cooking the meals I have found and saved. It's the last week that I will probably will have actually time to do so before the summer holidays.

So you can be looking forward to a couple of more vegan food post if your interested.

Have a lovely day everyone! XXX C

Hello Everyone! 

I thought I would introduce my top three vegan breakfast to you and give you a few lame breakfast ideas. What I like to do is that I chose from two (three tops) different kinds of fruits and just cut them into pieces and enjoy them as my breakfast. It's pretty easy but that is also a plus, it's quick, fresh and light. I can eat them on the go or wherever I am, I won't eat rubbish and always have something yummy, don't feel overloaded on crap. There are many positiv factors to it and I will stop talking now and show you: 

Apples and Pears

This is the most simplest choice ever but they are so good for you, full of vitamins and very filling and full of energy. Make sure to eat them raw and with skin as the most vitamins are directly under the skin.

Pear and Strawberries

It is berry season, so give yourself a go and buy them because they will never be as sweet and ripe as they are now! :) Also they are very fresh and light. A perfect breakfast or snack for a warmer/ hotter day. I loved this so much and it was gone quicker than I was able to look :)

Papaya, Grapes and Blueberries

This was by far my most favorite breakfast of last week. I had half a papaya and some grapes. To make it look very pretty and make my plate as full as possible I added blueberries into the little "bowl" where the seeds are normally in. This was so yummy and lovely and generally the best! 

I hope you liked the post and that you are hungry for some fruit now ;) 

We will see us in another vegan post next week with my top three favorite lunches. 

Have a lovely time XXX C
