This is a low-carb recipe, perfect for a healthy lunch at work and it’s really quick to make. This simple salad with Quorn roast ‘chicken’ sliced fillets is something I’ve been eating more of lately as I wanted to reduce my carb intake in order to maintain a healthy weight (or even better lose some weight). Since […]
Millet is not something you would normally find in the British supermarket but it’s very common in Slovenia. People in Slovenia eat it in savoury and sweet dishes but I only cooked with millet once before – I made millet tabbouleh which didn’t turn out that great. That’s because I didn’t really know how to cook […]
In the beginning of December I challenged myself and went on a low-carb diet for a week in an effort to lose some weight before Christmas. Oh boy, what a challenge this was. I had no bread, porridge, muesli, pasta or rice for a week! I introduced beans to my diet, something that I would normally not […]
Have you ever tried making anything out of sauerkraut? If you haven’t, I won’t be surprised, as it’s not what British people typically eat – I’ve never seen it on restaurant menus, mentioned on social media or on food blogs that I follow (apart from the Polish ones). But sauerkraut is widely used in Slovenia and […]
I love mushroom soup but it doesn’t really fill me up and it’s really only a starter for me as it’s quite light (at least the way I make it). In England, it’s normally made creamy and buttery but at home, I make it simply with onions, garlic, mushrooms and herbs, served with a dollop […]
I tend to eat quinoa salad in the same way all the time – with roasted peppers, mixed salad leaves, pine nuts and sometimes with low-fat cheese on top. This time I wanted to make it different – I wanted to make it taste amazing, full of flavour and extra nutritious. So I thought hard […]
I make pasta dish maybe once a week or less often and this is always one of those meals I cook when I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen and want dinner on a table in half an hour or less. I invented this pasta recipe one week when I had some random […]
One evening I was making some salad and I wasn’t totally sure what I was going to have with it. I just didn’t want to have lentils again. I normally have lentils twice a week and sometimes it just gets boring but it’s not that easy to come up with a quick and healthy meal which […]
This is a quick and healthy meal which you can eat for lunch at work or as a light dinner. Inspiration for this meal comes from this website and I tend to make different versions of this chickpea salad every week depending on what I have in the fridge. I vary the vegetables I put in, […]
Lentil soups are my staple meal since I rarely eat meat and I need to get protein from other sources. I used to make red lentil and carrot soup every week until I kind of got bored of it. I now always like to experiment by adding different types of vegetables to my lentil soups. […]
