Pizza healthified: Aubergine Pizza Piccolini

Diet often is all about cheating. Cheating your mind into thinking you're eating something desirably unhealthy while eating very healthy instead. That's why I'm gonna prestent to you today: Aubergine Pizza Piccolini.

Healthy Breakfast Apple Strudel.

I'm having a moment with quick breakfast Ideas. As a fan of hot apples I came up with this healthy idea: Breakfast Apple Strudel.

Banana Breakfast Muffins

When I woke up this morning I fancied some Banana pancakes, but didn't fancy using oil to fry them. So I came up with this recipe for healthy, delicious, glutenfree Banana Breakfast Muffins.

Stracciatella Shake - healtyfied

I'm in the mood for something sweet. Anyone else?

How about a Stracciatella Shake - healtyfied?

Chicken Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup - healthified.

I love fastfood as much as the next girl. But we all know that fastfood is not exactly helping with weightloss. So, just as I did with my Turkey Burger before, I came up with a version for Chicken Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup - healthified.

Quick and filling - Filled Mushrooms

Hello there my loveleys,

I've been gone so long! Things were crazy and work and the weekends were packed full too so I had no chance of preparing stuff for you. I hope I can do more again now that work starts to slow.

I will have a huge dinner tonight and thought I should go easy on lunch - and since I just bought a pack of Mushrooms I came up with:

Filled Mushrooms!

Chia Yoghurt and creamy Persimmon

I recently bought a Mini-Blender and a new bag of Chia Seeds and set out to create something delicious for tomorrows breakfast!


Chia Yoghurt and creamy Persimmon!

Meal Prep - Grilled Chicken with oven baked Vegetables and greens.

No matter if you're working or just have a busy schedule: it's not always easy to prepare a healthy meal for the next day. So sometimes, when time allows it, I fire up the oven on a Sunday evening to prepare lunch for the next three days. Basically you're just cooking a huge portion of whatever you want. I read of many people who prepare all three meals for 5 days - but a) I don't feel comfortable with eating food on Friday that I prepared on Sunday and b) my fridge and freezer are too small for 15 tupperware boxes ;)

So today we'll make three lunches and a little soup on the side. Lets get preping!

Sunday Breakfast - Protein Pancakes

What better way to start a Sunday than having some lovely, decadent pancakes? Yes you heard me. Pancakes. But "healthyfied". No added sugar and no flour.

10 Second Humus

It was only last week that I had my first taste of Humus, self made even. And I think I might have found my favorite chick-pea dish yet, filling, healthy and even good to take to work or simply to munch on in the evening instead of nachos and cheese.

Who's up for some amazing Humus in only 10 Seconds?

Sunday Breakfast - Italian Breakfast Pita

As I mentioned in this older post I like to have a breakfast to indulge in on Sundays. Today was no exception.

Today we'll make an Italian Breakfast Pita.

Greek Salad with Octopus. Not pretty - but delicious.

It's salad week in my kitchen! And I tried my best to keep the variety of salads wide and interesting.

So today: who's up for some amazing greek-inspired salad?

Vegetable Soup with roasted Paranuts - Sweet and Creamy.

I just got home from work and, inspired by a soup a friend of mine cooked last week, I was inspired to make a quick vegetable soup with roasted Para Nuts.

Scrambled Eggs - Asia Inspired

Honey, I'm home!
Sorry for the long break but I'm back :)

It's protein week at my home, and I bet you never had scrambled eggs like these before. You'll love this!

Grab those chop sticks and let's make some:

Scrambled Eggs - Asia inspired.

Strawberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie - Goodness on the go

So last week while shopping I bought strawberries for the first time this yeah. They weren't perfect yet but oh, who doesn't love strawberries? This morning I went for a delicious vegan  smoothie to keep me fueled and let me tell you that it was amazing!

Strawberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie

Low Carb Egg Bread + Sandwich

I'm not usually trying to actively skip carbs. I think they are good for you, depending on the kind and amount. However, this didn't stop me from looking for alternatives to bread and found something pretty amazing.


Low Carb Egg Bread:

Popcorn - Depressingly simple.

It's Snack attack once again!
I plan on watching some "Velvet Goldmine" right now. And what sack comes to mind when you think about watching a movie? Exactly: Popcorn.

I will show you the embarrassingly simple recipe for fat free Popcorn.

Gluten and wheat free Savoy Burritos.

Now this might sound weird at first but believe me it's a good alternative to the regular wheat or corn wraps: Savoy Burritos.

As I once said before: It's not about skipping, it's about replacing. I want some Burritos and I made it happen.

Savoy Burritos

Banana Pancakes - Gluten Free, oh yeah

When I first started changing my diet I found the hardest part was changing habits. We're so used to eating the way we eat. Now lets say you want to reduce the Carbs or at least  Gluten in your diet. It's the easiest way to freak people out. What do you eat when you can't eat Bread of Cereal or Pancakes for breakfast? Or Pasta, Rice and Potatoes for lunch? It drives people crazy. Why? Cause we're just so used to eating what we eat on a daily basis.

I'm here now to take your hand and tell you: It's gonna be alright. And to calm you down: Carbs and Gluten won't kill you (Unless you're allergic, then they might cause you problems of course.). I'm a firm believer in the notion that everything is okay for you body if you eat it in small quantities. Same goes for Gluten. Generations of people lived healthily on wheat-based food and Gluten and were fine. That said: It doesn't mean you can't at least make an efford to reduce some of the intake.

In a later post I might explain the fuzz about Gluten but for now let's focus on this incredibly delicious breakfast idea to calm your no-carbs-panic:

Banana Pancakes:

Apple Chips. You know you will eat the whole bowl.

To answer your question: Yes, yet ANOTHER snack recipe. But honestly: Snacks are my weakness. I can prepare three healthy meals a day and not miss a thing but I would still totally love to go for potato chips and the like. This is why I included many healthy snacks into my diet.

This recipe is as simple as it gets: Apple Chips
