Tonight we will have some beautiful salmon with roasted carrots. Wash 2 bunches of carrots carefully so that you don’thave to peel off the skin. Remove … More Start the new year slowly
Eating healthy is not the same as eating light, but tonight we’ll ignore the ‘light’aspect. Again inspired by Donna Hay, I try some of her falafel recipes. For the falafel, drain 1 can of chickpeas. Put in a small blender. Add 3 chopped carrots, 4 chopped garlic cloves, 1 chopped chili, 4 cm of ginger … More Let’s consume some kcal

Kcal wise I could consider to pay more attention. ‘A drizzle of olive oil’, some nuts, and, sadly enough, some cheesy snack in between, there … More I consider to pay more attention

I had a lovely afternoon. My dear friend Anria invited me to her class. I had the opportunity to talk about the living will and advance directives, the subject of my thesis in counseling. I really managed to catch the attention and introduce the delicate matter to young people. Coming home, I decided to prepare … More My favorite cooking style: all in one dishes
