Raspberry and Blueberry Raw Vegan Cupcakes

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

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

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…

Black Bean Veggie Nuggets

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.

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…

Autumn in a plate - Oven Roasted Vegetables

Autumn in a plate - Oven Roasted Vegetables by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love roasted vegetables; so easy to make, so simple and yet so delicious. Of course raw vegetables are a lot healthier than cooked ones but sometimes you just need a hot meal right?! Anyway this dish is very healthy, low in calories, low in fat and also low in sodium, diet friendly and it is very filling too.

These crackers are the perfect combination and you can eat them with almost any salty meal. About tofu....what can I say?! At first I didn't like it so much, but know I enjoy it more than I used to…

Black Linguini with Green Veggies

Black Linguini with Green Veggies by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I was really hungry today and I wanted to cook something tasty but fast. I’ve been eating eggs for the past 2 days because I had no time for cooking, fortunately today is not such a stressful day. I found a pack of black linguini in my pantry. I never cooked linguini before and I decided to give it a try. I know that black linguini…

Marinated champignons with lentils and cashew sauce

Marinated champignons with lentils and cashew sauce by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love marinated mushrooms. Actually I love apple vinegar with honey! This recipe is the perfect combination of tastes. The acid flavor of vinegar combined with the sweetness of cashew sauce blend magically. This dish is perfect for hot summer days, it is very light and refreshing.

Chocoplums

Chocoplums by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

As you probably noticed already, I like easy, quick and healthy desserts. This is one of them. It took me exactly 3 minutes to make these delicious chocoplums. I usually eat dark chocolate because it is healthier (don't tell, but sometimes I can't help myself and I eat regular milky chocolate, fortunately this rarely happens).…

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…

Pickled cabbage rolls with tomato sauce

Pickled cabbage rolls with tomato sauce by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love pickled veggies, and cabbage is one of my favorites! Cabbage rolls will always remind me of my carnivore times, when I used to it them stuffed with pork forcemeat every winter. It is a traditional dish you see...but I no longer fall prey to temptation! Now I eat these goodies stuffed with marinated mushrooms, sautéed onions and…
