Buckwheat bowl

May 17, 2017

I was never the biggest fan of eggplant and sweet potato so I bought them again to try some new recipes. Being vegan cleared my taste buds quite a lot and lately I've been rediscovering all the flavors I thought I did not like and giving them another chance, which I must say I'm very happy about. It definitely gave me a lot of new options and helped making my meals more creative and interesting

ingredients:

1 boiled corn
1/3 cup buckwheat
3 slices of zucchini
3 slices of eggplant
3 slices of sweet potato
2 asparagus
1 handful of spinach and kale
diced tomato and cucumber
sweet and hot paprika
nutmeg

dressing:

1 tablespoon hummus
1 tablespoon water

instructions:

First boil buckwheat, sweet potato and asparagus and prepare dressing by mixing water and hummus in a blender until it gets the right consistence. When everything in the pan is soft dice zucchini, eggplant and sweet potato and cover it with nutmeg, both sweet and hot paprika and put in previously preheated oven (360F) together with corn.

When vegetables are ready (about 15 minutes) mix them in a bowl with other veggies and cover with hummus dressing.

One The Road: Prague

April 13, 2017

I try to travel as much as possible what is often connected with a low budget and improvisation when it comes to cooking. Many people say that being vegan is impossible while you're on the road so I'll try to make a post from every journey to prove that it is way easier than it seems. Not to mention you don't have to spend a lot of money. Surprisingly it can be even less than on a regular meat and dairy diet.

Having a couple days off work, not really knowing what to do this time I happened to go to Prague, Czech Republic. It is a beautiful city with plenty to offer. Not only is the architecture and streets beautiful but also the vegan scene is quite big. I found couple interesting cafes and vegan items in the stores that I didn't see before and I'd be happy to share it here with you.

Sorry for the quality of some of the pictures but I want to show as much as possible and sometimes the light and circumstances aren't what I'd want.

Here we have one of the breakfasts from the hostels (I stayed at the Czech Inn Hostel and I highly recommend it).

I had coconut Alpro yoghurt and oat, raspberry, small cookies I got in Poland.

Yoghurt and cookies, granola or cereal is the easiest breakfast if you're staying at the hostel.

Snack during the day:

Mandarines and Gluten-free pretzels

Mango sorbet bought in the old city

Coconut margarine

Puro is a vegan restaurant in Prague 2 with many delicious options and it's the first place I'd recommend to try in the city. Especially a burrito for 99CZK, it was amazing!

Quick and easy everyday breakfast

April 11, 2017

One of my favorite and at the same time easiest breakfast I make for myself aka the sandwich with fruit and almond butter. The recipe is also very flexible since you can use whatever kind of bread you like and spread it with a nut butter of your choice, bought or homemade.

Depending on the season you can always get whatever fruit you prefer and have at home at the time. Whenever I use banana I like to add something a bit more sweet-sour like berries or an apple.

Ingredients

almond butter
bread slices
raspberries
banana

Instructions

I don't think that part of a post is much needed here but here you go. Spread the nut butter on bread slices and add seasonal fruit (in my case raspberries and banana) on top.
