I don’t know what it is about donuts. Even the thought of them make me drool. Whenever I am on a diet and I start craving something sweet, I dream about donuts. I think lots of you will share my obsession though:) Continue reading “Go nuts for donuts!”

Date and honey cake
You know when you see something in a cook book or a food magazine that you like and you want to make, but you never get to actually do it? Yeah, me too. This time though I thought I will try this no refined sugar cake from Food and Wine Magazine. And you know what? I will make this cake again. You can’t tell there is no refined sugar as honey and dates work very well to bring the sweetness out. Continue reading “Date and honey cake”
Pesto
This is easy and quick recipe with tons of flavour! It is so fragrant that when I ‘taste’ it, I just have to stop myself from eating the whole batch with bread… It is brilliant with tomato soup or with pasta on its own, or just on the slice of crusty ciabatta. Try it! Continue reading “Pesto”

Creamy vegetable and chicken soup
I am definitely in the mood for soups! What can I say? My mam used to make them almost every day. For some unknown reason, I just didn’t make it myself.

Quinoa puttanesca bowl
I discovered pasta puttanesca years ago when I was too lazy to go out to the shop and I had few ingredients in the fridge. Quick google search and pasta puttanesca appeared (btw google is life saver when you don’t know what to cook!). My eating habits changed a little since then and I often substitute pasta with quinoa or rice. This combination was first introduced to me by Sophie’s Nutrition Bootcamp and it really works great!
