Thai Chickpea Soup

When someone asks me for a quick, cheap and healthy recipe, this one is on the top of my mind. It is amazingly easy to make and adaptable to your own taste. Simply throw in any of your favorite veggies and see if it works. Since the consistency is quite thick you could eat it as a soup as well as a sauce, like my colleague likes to do. Serves:...

Leon Shredded Kale and Peanut Salad

Lovely breakfast for when I am in a bit of a hurry.

When I am in a bit of a hurry or just feel like having grapefruit I prepare this nutritious breakfast. Be cautious with the soy yoghurt tough, AlproSoya has loads of sugar in their products. It tastes rather disgusting actually, Provomel is the better option in the Netherlands. You can get it at any reform store and some supermarkets. You need: 1/2...

What to do when eating at someone else's?

If you have been eating like this for a while you can agree that most people are getting stressed out when they have you over for dinner. No mater how easy it is for you to eat like you do, other people will often see it is a hindrance. What often happened for me was that I fell like I was being a nuisance and ate whatever they made and would be in...

Spanakorizo. Greek spinach rice

Another meal with spinach, it is just so nourishing! This dish represents spring for me and I love to eat it outside when the weather lets me. A Greek dish that is traditionally eaten as a main,  but it could work as a side dish as well. The recipe itself is vegan but I usually serve grilled lamb sausages and a nice salad on the side.  Deliciously...

Delicious start of the day

I love coconut, and to appreciate this breakfast fully you must at least like coconut a lot.. But if you do, you almost couldn't start your day better. For me it is a bit to expensive to eat on a daily basis, mainly due to the blueberries. That's why I often leave them out or go for the frozen blueberries. Feel free to experiment with other fruits...

Spinachsoup with a spicy kick

A delicious green soup and one of my favourites. This is such an easy soup to make but it definitely leaves an impression on any diner guest. I really love spicy food and the best thing about this recipe is that you can make it as spicy as you want. If you like it hot, add the chili in the beginning, it makes the whole soup extra-spicy. If you have...
