How to make vegan cheese home using cashews
That milk is not so good for you, you already knew. It’s not new for you that, as a human being, you are not made to digest milk and all the dairy products. More than that, so many studies link lots of health problems to it. Heart disease, alzeimer, diabetes type 2, even cancer, just…
The winter soaps
It’s already end december and I haven’t posted any soaps lately. The time flew and this month the days pass incredibly quickly. Some soaps are always more close to my heart than others. Like these kids soaps. It’s always such a joy to offer a soap like this. Small, round, with calendula petals or mud…

No summer without ice cream. Even if this summer is quite a challenging one and nothing seems sure. But one thing is sure: we need ice cream in the summer. And an easy one to make. I love easy recipes but I also love those recipes which could be done in advance and save some…
Radish greens dip/hummus
You are never going wrong with vegetables. When chickpeas or beans, so often used in dips/hummus are the easiest way to get a delicious spread, they are not always so easy to digest for everyone. Especially when mixed with different groups of food (other carbs or animal protein for instance). So better to get back…

Leftover Dahl with lentils
During the Christmas days I made lots of salads and the frigde was kind of full of leftover vegetables. First I thought of making a soup but I don’t really like to mix too many vegetables when making soups, so a dhal was more my idea. We usually eat the dhal with rice but to…

Vegan sugar free hot chocolate
The coffee, tea and hot chocolate departments have always been my favorite places in the supermarket. I was always attracted by the different choices, flavours and adds of these products. But then I (almost) stopped drinking coffee. Now I still use to stroll through these departments, only to get some inspiration for the homemade versions….
Vegan pumpkin snickers
Snickers don’t need an introduction, right? We make them so often and I have changed so many filling ingredients by now. The challenge started because my girls don’t want to eat nuts. They would say that they don’t love them even if they always add them to the granola they use to make. So I…
October soaps
Normally in october I always would start my Christmas soaps, but this year was a little bit different.

Glutenfree bread
A good bread needs not only good ingredients but also some patience, time and love. As much as I love bread I realized that I don’t feel really ok after eating it. I used to make my sourdough bread which was a healthier option than the ones from the store. But this took me so…
Rose water coconut butter helva
It’s already mid september but I am still dreaming of Georgia and everything we could enjoy there during our holiday this summer.
