Beluga Lentils & Sweet Potato Salad
Hot summer days are on the way and our diet starts to shift to lighter meals. Less time will be spent in the kitchen and that means looking for easier and less time consuming recipes. Salads are always a go-to meal. However, diversity is the key since we easily get tired of the same dish…
Vegan Hot Dogs

Chickpea & Carrot Stew
Chickpea and Carrot stew is another vegetarian dish that is currently on my list of favourites. Besides the fact that it is tasty and healthy, it is also a one-pot meal, which makes it easier to clean up afterwards. 😀 This dish is inspired by Moroccan cuisine, using cinnamon powder and dates to add sweetness….
Vegetarian Sauerkraut Patties
I am a big sauerkraut fan, even though it is not something I grew up on. I was exposed to it after I met my now-husband due to the German side of his family. Some say it is an acquired taste but for me it was love at first taste! 🙂 In Malta, we mostly…
