Now, this is something I wanted to try since I first heard of this dish. Inspiration comes from Jason Matthews’ second book in the Red Sparrow trilogy, Palace of Treason. So today, I took the courage to try it out. I must admit, I had a lot of hope right […]
Vegetables
Mixed bruschette and crostini
An exquisite look and an explosion of colors, this one! Ready in no time and delicious to savor on a relaxing weekend morning. Enjoy!
Summer Sun Pickles
I am a declared pickles fan and I would do anything for a bowl of pickles, even as a snack 🙂 I am a fortunate daughter who benefits of a mom’s winter pickles. I always has a jar ready in the fridge, except for summertime, when we usually prepare the […]
No oil guacamole
I’ve always thought that guacamole tastes better without additional vegetable oils in it. And I find it relevant to say that the avocado has enough fat on its own, so my favorite version is the one that exploits the avocado’s nutty flavor at max level.
Butternut squash and cumin soup
Inspired by the fact that today is a cold day and I’m spending my time indoors, I had to try it out a butternut squash soup, but not before adding a little wild seasoning kick. Enjoy!
Quinoa avocado salad

Roasted red pepper hummus
Straight forward from the name of the recipe, this is exactly what it seems – a delicious hummus variation with roasted red peppers. Traditionally, you would find in the list of ingredients olive oil and probably more tahini paste, but since I am a fan of low fat recipes, my […]
Creamy spinach breakfast
Have I ever mentioned how much I like spinach? Possibly! But anyway, I love spinach and the combination with eggs. So this morning it’s all about creaminess and taste!
Low-fat potato gratin
I totally love potato gratin, but I usually avoid eating something like this as normally, all recipes include high fat ingredients (lots of heavy cream and lots of butter). For quite some time now, I was constantly thinking of preparing a lighter version with a low-fat (well as low as […]
Oven zucchini fritters
It’s been a while since I purchased 3 nice zucchinis and didn’t have any inspiration to prepare them in any way. So today, I said to myself that I have to take some action, and since I am that kind of person who gathers what’s in currently in the fridge […]
