Rice egg & spinach bowl with yogurt-mustard dressing

It can be a warm salad, it can be an independent meal. Includes a proper amount of proteins, carbohydrates and fats to provide energy. To be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Basmati can be replaced by wild or any other type of rice. Cardamom is optional. I suggest to give a try to cardamom-flavored rice…

Orange cookies (vegan) (Melomakarona)

For the idea of this recipe I’m grateful to foodzesty.com blog. These Greek Christmas cookies impressed me by the mix of olive oil and semolina. Under the impression I’ve made a couple of variations of vegan cookies with semolina, and these slightly different Melomakarona:) It is suggested to sprinkle the cookies with syrup made of sugar, water, honey and…

Hot gingerbread (vegan)

Truly hot, spicey, crispy vegan gingerbread:) Made of rye flour and brown sugar, these cookies look really dark. Well-stored when placed in a cookie box, a couple of weeks they will last for sure. For more tender dough, use vegan shortering and nut/non-dairy milk instead of chicory/coffee. Rye flour can be replaced by plain flour. Happy baking!:)…

Spicy chocolate rye muffins with candied orange peel

This recipe makes chocolatey cardamom mini-cakes with candied orange bits and hot chili aftertaste. I used rye flour as it’s considered healthier than wheat. Besides it almost doesn’t affect the taste and has good binding qualities. Chocolate muffins remain my top idea for unexpected and urgent daily happenings. A bunch of these were made last week. One of…

An easy recipe of oat cookies, which in case of using quick or instant oats even don’t require baking. So you can combine all the ingredients adding any tasty bits you like, and simply leave formed balls or patties to chill in the fridge. The shelf life will be diminished though, from a couple of weeks for…

Apple & Plum Strudel (vegan)

It’s not a classic (traditional) strudel recipe. I developed it through trial and error a long ago, and now just repeat with different types of filling. I love making strudels that are largely stuffed with fruits and nuts, and contain just a little or no sugar (depends on sweetness of fruit and individual preferences). A thin…
