Multigrain bread by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I’m not a huge fan of baked goodies and I also don’t eat bread very often, but unfortunately my boyfriend needs bread at almost every meal as he needs air to breathe. I decided then to make a compromise, so once a week I make him a healthy and tasty bread which is surprisingly filling and instead of eating 5 “filled with chemicals…

Sea Buckthorn Juice by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

You may not have heard anything about this miracle plant but you will find out now everything you need to know about it. It is a shame that sea buckthorn is not as famous as goji berries because basically they are the same. Sea buckthorn berries are extremely rich in antioxidants and vitamins, especially vitamin C and vitamin A. The…

Crepe Rolls with Chocolate Cream, Chestnut Puree and Plum Jam by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

The great thing about it is that you can use any filling you like. I used homemade chocolate cream, chestnut puree and plum jam. All these fillings are very healthy and sugar-free. I’ll post their recipes in the near future.

Romanian Mititei (Little Sausages) by Teodora Pogonat

This is a great traditional recipe for Romanian Mititei. Mititei are skinless sausages, usually grilled, and the name literally means "little ones". They taste really well grilled, but can also be pan fried and pair well with homemade fries or a tomato/cucumber salad. Traditionally they are enjoyed with mustard, a roll of bread and…

Raspberry and Blueberry Raw Vegan Cupcakes by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I couldn’t live without fruits! Really! In my opinion fruits are a gift from Heaven! Every time I eat a fruit I thank God for that wonderful gift. I don’t know if it’s that sweet taste that makes me so crazy about them, or that lovely juicy texture, but one thing I do know for sure is that fruits make me happy. As I told you…

Pickled peppers by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Autumn is near and I love having a closet full of conserved veggies prepared for the winter. Hot peppers are great with winter soups; they melt you inside out :)). Here’s a super easy method for conserving peppers that also works for other veggies too.

Boiled potatoes with onion and rosemary by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I wanted something cooked but cooked fast and the word “potatoes” popped into my mind. I have about a sack full of baby potatoes from my boyfriend’s parents garden so I have to eat in this period a lot more potatoes that I usually eat, because I don’t want them to spoil. This dish was very tasty! Potatoes are great in general, but…

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 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…

White Sauce Veal Stew by Andreea

Baked Carrot Frittata by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

First of all, this recipe isn’t vegan. As you know I am not totally vegan and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be. I love eggs and in my opinion there is absolutely nothing unhealthy about eggs as long as they’re from hens that were not given any growth hormones or that were not fed with chemicals. Fortunately, I have a family friend…

Black Bean Veggie Nuggets by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

This recipe resembles the traditional Romanian meat nuggets recipe which honestly is delicious but really unhealthy. I used a very small amount of oil, gluten free flour and black beans which are a lot better than the white ones because they contain more fibers and have an impressive amount of antioxidants.
