Happy Birthday Mom!

“In Tibet, we say that many illnesses can be cured exclusively by the remedy of love and compassion. These qualities are the ultimate source of happiness, and we need them in our inner most being.” – The Dalai Lama Today, December 28th, is my birthday and my daughters made my birthday cake. They made a carrot […]

In memory of Pico - our 21 y.o cat who passed away peacefully yesterday at home in my husband’s arms. Thank you, little one, for all that you gave us. Sleep well. 💕 . . #animallovers #catlovers #catlife #pets #housepets

Vegetarian chili - There’s nothing like a warm spicy bowl of chili and rice, especially in winter! I’ve made some changes here and there to my old chili recipes and came up with this version but haven’t posted it on my blog yet ... I’ll do that this weekend because it is so delish and good for you! I also enjoy sharing recipes, especially those that are made with fresh wholesome ingredients and make you feel good long after you’ve eaten. 😋 #chili #vegetarianrecipes #veganrecipes #plantlife #plantbasedchef #healthyfoodideas #lentils #beansandrice
Japanese noodle soup made with homemade veggie broth, white miso, silken tofu, caramelized brown mushrooms ( I used shiitake, porcini & mini brown mushrooms) sprouts and herbs. Great to have on a chilly day! Free recipe is up on the blog in my bio. . #plantbasedeating #soups #noodlesoup #veganfoods #vegetarianrecipes #mushrooms #silkentofu #broth #japanesefood #misosoup
Chia Chai Latte Puddings. This recipe was inspired by a friend who bought me a cardamom coffee in Geneva. It took me several trials to get this one right. After I had posted it on my blog, I noticed that my tastebuds were not quite satisfied with the spices. So I went back to work and I have since made some few minor adjustments and they are now PERFECT!!! I absolutely love these spicy chia latte puddings! As after dinner treats or just something nice and light to have in the afternoon instead of coffee or tea, they are really good! Enjoy! . . . #chiaseedpudding #chiaseeds #chailatte #puddings #spices #healthydesserts #plantbasedfood #vegetariandesserts #veganfoodshare
Made with brown lentils, Borlotti beans and brown basmati rice and veggies, this hearty, creamy soup is so delish and satisfying! Over the holidays, our house was packed with vegans and vegetarians and I ended up making this 3 times. It’s easy peasy - all made in one pot. When I make it, I like to use fresh dried beans that I soak the night before and then boil for one hour. I store my cooked beans in separate containers in the freezer and they are ready to go! Same with the veggie broth , I make a big batch from scratch and store it all in the freezer ready to go. The recipe for vegetable stock or broth is in my blog - just type it in the search function and it will take you right there. If you make this soup, you can also cut it short and use canned beans and store bought broth , but lately I’ve been cooking more with fresh ingredients and using less cans. This healthy recipe will give you all the plant protein that you need. Also, what makes this soup so special is the lemon juice and zest that I added at the end. The lemon brings the soup to life and when combined with the beans and lentils, it gives you that Vitamin C that helps your body absorb the non-heme iron. Should you want to give it a go, the recipe is on my blog in my profile! Enjoy! . . . #soup #plantbasedrecipes #lentilsoup #borlottibeans #healthyliving #beansoup #plantbasedmeals #onepotmealsrock
A day trip at Lokrum Island just outside the city of Dubrovnik where we sat on the Iron Throne in Game of Thrones. A nice way to finish off the holiday as we head back to work next week. . . #dubrovnik #dubrovnikcroatia #mediterranean #traveling #lokrumislanddubrovnik #gameofthrones
I had just finished walking the stone walls of Dubrovnik in extreme hot weather when John took this shot! A big sweat that was, but it was all worth it! This city has been through so much pain and destruction due to past wars, a major earthquake and the last war that ended in 1995. The city has been reconstructed and it still is in some parts. It is incredibly beautiful and charming. The Croatians have worked hard to preserve the original state of the city, as much as possible. The old town is a UNESCO world heritage site. I’ve spoken with some of the local people who have lost parents, siblings and children during the last war and they are still recovering. . . #Dubrovnik #travel #Croatia #UNESCO
Staying on the Adriatic coast heading into the old town of Dubrovnik, Croatia 🇭🇷 Lots to discover in this Medieval city. . . #Dubrovnik #Croatia #travel #mediterranean
