I've always been intrigued by risotto. Turning dry rice into a flavourful, creamy dish almost seems like magic to me. Before I went plant based, I never had the courage to try it out though. It seemed complicated and time consuming, not to mention that this dish is normally very high in saturated fats because it's usually made with a ton of butter, heavy cream and cheese. It's by coincidence that I was able to create this recipe. One day I just decided to try out cooking my rice in almond milk or coconut milk instead of plain water. From there on, I let my imagination take over and do the rest. The result was a super healthy yet amazingly creamy risotto with an explosion of flavours. I don't even use special risotto rice to make this: just the cheapest, white rice I find in the grocery store. This is what you need: 125 g white rice 109 g frozen spinach 1 l almond milk or coconut milk from Alpro Soya (you could also use another plant based milk) 1 tablespoon ...

I've mentioned in an earlier post that before I adopted a plant based diet, I was addicted to cheese, especially melted cheese! When I used to binge, one of my favorite meals was pasta with stir fried mushrooms, bacon and... cream cheese which I added at the end of the cooking process so that it could melt over the warm pasta. And I did not add just a little bit of cream cheese! I added a whole pot. Here's a picture of the 2 brands I used the most: The vegan cream cheese I make now, tastes EXACTLY the same as the real cream cheese I used to binge on and you can use it in all the same ways you would use real cream cheese, something I never thought possible. I use it to put on my sandwiches, as a thick, creamy dressing on salads or I stuff mushrooms with it and put them in the oven to serve them as an appetizer when my family comes over! I used to serve this appetizer with the real cream cheese and they haven't even noticed that I've switched the real cheese for the...

You can truly make people's day with this recipe: surprise your loved one with a romantic breakfast or serve these sandwiches as a little extra after breakfast, take them to work to treat your colleagues... Everyone who has tasted these has become hooked! Despite the fact that they're very sweet, these sandwiches are pretty healthy. Instead of white, refined flour, I used whole buckwheat flour and most of the sugars present in this recipe come from the natural sugars in the banana and Stevia which has 0 calories and is actually the healthiest alternative sweetener on the market. Contrary to aspartame for example, an alternative sweetener known to be waistline-friendly but linked to premature dementia, Stevia, as far as current scientific research shows, does not have any negative side effects. The only unhealthy sugars in these sandwiches come from a thin layer of jam. I always use silicone molds to bake my muffins, breads, egg muffins etc. because that way I save money ...

  Who doesn't love chocolate? I still remember ordering a Starbucks coffee every day on my way to work. At the counter where you're supposed to order your coffee, they always displayed the most delicious muffins and they almost seemed to be calling my name: blueberry muffins, vanilla muffins and... chocolate muffins. Every time I wisely decided to just let them be because...my waistline... But to be honest I wanted nothing more than to devour one of those chocolate muffins with my coffee for breakfast. The realization that there would be a feeling of guilt attached to that decision that would hunt me for the rest of my working day, stopped me from doing so. I'm so relieved that I finally created a muffin recipe that's not only guilt-free but actually also a very HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS breakfast! I easily eat 5 to 6 of these muffins for breakfast! They taste like a sweet sin but ar not because they don't contain any white, refined flour or baking soda. I promise you ...

I love cheese. Cheese in all its forms: creamy cheese, savory cheese, herb cheese and even better: mèlted cheese. Cheese was truly my addiction and therefore the hardest thing to give up when I adopted a plant based diet. Until I discovered that you can veganize really ANY kind of cheese... Now I make the most delicious cheesy dishes with just a few ingredients! The only difference? I don't feel gross afterwards, my pants doesn't feel tighter and tighter after every copious cheesy meal, no heavy stomach or constipation, no more guilt and the scale shoots down instead of going up! I used to have to do portion control in order to avoid getting fat. Now, I can eat as much of my 'cheesy meals' and I don't need to worry about my belly 'starting to hang over my pants'! I lòve it! These cakes are like Gratin Dauphinois but in cupcake form. But you can choose to make them in an oven dish. It will taste just as good. I usually make a big batch of this ...
