Spanish Style Beans and Rice

Spanish Style Beans and Rice by Rich H

This vegan adaptation of traditional Spanish Style Beans and Rice is a nice light dish. Plate it with some fresh fruit slices for added color and flavor and you have a lovely, healthy dinner. If you choose to go more traditional, simply hard boil, peel and dice 2 eggs as a topping garnish and add it prior to serving.

Raw Vegan Cranberry Brownie

Raw Vegan Cranberry Brownie by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love desserts and because I often eat sweets, I prefer them raw. We all know that all sweets are high in calories, but making mostly raw desserts makes me feel good and guilt-free; this way I know I get plenty of vitamins, minerals and other great nutrients and so I ignore the calories. Another thing I love about raw desserts is…

Cauliflower and Tofu Casserole

Cauliflower and Tofu Casserole by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I really enjoy making casseroles because I like eating foods that are creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I made this dish a couple of days ago and it was a success! Even my “always-eating-meat-and-dairy” parents enjoyed it and trust me this means that it was good! My granny used to make cauliflower casseroles but…

Potato Salad

Potato Salad by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

This salad was delicious! She cooked it yesterday and made a big bowl that could feed over 6 people but because it was so good we (my dad and I) finished almost the entire bowl in just a few hours. I decided this morning to post the recipe because it was so tasty that it must be shared with you. Fortunately, there was a small bowl…

Healthy Fruit and Nut bars

Healthy Fruit and Nut bars by Angie Wilkes

Homemade version of Nak'd bars. Easy to make, very versatile. If you love the taste of Nak’d bars, but you’re not so keen on the price, try making your own – you won’t believe how easy these are to make. This is the basic recipe for the bars, but you can add whatever flavourings you want. I’ve used vanilla, but I suggest…

Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge Pudding

Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge Pudding by Gouri Haldar

Imagine, sweet chocolaty fudge melting down in the mouth, one bite, you get a rich flavour of coffee and chocolate, second bite, you get a nutty crunch of almonds and hazelnuts and third the droplets of the golden syrup just stick to your mouth. Yummy na…J I got the same feeling when I tried out this recipe of vegan chocolate cake.…

ChilItaliano

ChilItaliano by Rich H

This "Italian chili" is a bitey, spicy bit of heaven. With just the right amount of spices, wine and "heat" this hearty dish is sure to please even the most discriminating chili afficianado. It is a vegan dish but by using some earthy mushrooms the chili takes on a meaty tone that is delicious in every way!

Multivitamin Salad

Multivitamin Salad by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Two weeks ago I kept a raw week diet in order to cleanse my body because I felt terribly guilty after eating a lot of crap (meat free though) in the mini-vacation at the seaside. It was a great week during which I filled my body with a bundle of vitamins and minerals, although it was a bit annoying that I didn’t have much time for…

Almonds and plum bon-bons

Almonds and plum bon-bons by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

This is a very easy recipe that I make most of the time after I finish the almond milk. The little sweet treats are amazing! Don't forget to make them small because they are very sweet.

Paella Wannabe

Paella Wannabe by Rich H

I had all of the ingredients I needed although I had to change things up a little from the traditional paella. I used brown rice instead of bomba or calasparra white rice. And, of course, this paella is vegetarian.

Vegan Carrot Cake Cupcake for ONE

Vegan Carrot Cake Cupcake for ONE by Shauna Duncan

Been a bit obsessed with single serving desserts lately. This one I think about DAILY. It is not overly sweet, and I feel almost less guilty because there are carrots in it. Score! It doesn't even need frosting.

Banana and chocolate pudding

Banana and chocolate pudding by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Bananas, bananas and again bananas! Don’t blame me because I love these sweet creamy fruits! I always make up some kind of dessert when I have bananas in my kitchen and I almost never eat them just as they are. I had some dark chocolate in the fridge and I thought “Why not combine it with bananas? Nothing wrong can happen... right?!”…

Cranberries Jam

Cranberries Jam by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I don’t eat any jams made with sugar. Sugar is another thing on my forbidden list. It is toxic! I only use natural and unrefined sweeteners, honey for example. All the jams that I make are made from dehydrated – rehydrated fruits, combined with delicious honey and amazing spices. The inconvenient is that they won’t last too long in…
