Summer quinoa salad
If we need ideas in winter for soups, it becomes the same in summer for salad! We want to have a variety as much as for our side dish as for a brunch table. The other day I pre-cooked some quinoa for my Triple quinoa and chocolate muffins but I still had some left over. Quinoa is … Continue reading
White beans in “Crock pot”
I’ve been meaning to try cooking dry beans in a slow cooker for a while. There are several reason why you would want to find an alternative way of cooking them other than on the stove. I would not suggest you do it for lentil because they cook rather quickly, but when you have chick peas, … Continue reading
Mini breakfast breads
I don’t know if you are like me, but I’m always looking for new bread recipes. I just start by looking at what flours I have and than I combine. This time I wanted to make something a bit different for breakfast. I mean during the week, we are used to bread, muffins … But what … Continue reading
Kale and strawberry salad
Maybe it’s the first rays of sun that we haven’t had for the past week, but it starts to smell spring! Not very warm for a month of May, but…. 🙂 like I say “If spring doesn’t come to me, I go meet him!” And what is more estival than a salad. I decided to … Continue reading

I wanted to start this new category that would be more “Gourmet cooking” for different special occasions. … Continue reading
Chocolate granola cereal
I’ve been blogging for a year now. When I first started, I just wanted to share my recipes with some people. I didn’t really have a goal, no photography experience. Now my goal is to give alternatives to meat to reduce our environmental impact and improve our health, make you discover food, spices, herbs… and … Continue reading
Soup of the week: Red lentil soup
After getting such a bad cold and being so sick for a good two weeks, I needed to go back to my cooking and photography. I’m not back on my skies, but that’s something I intend to do next weekend. This week for my soup, I wanted something so simple, any beginner in the kitchen … Continue reading
Soup of the week: Curry coconut cream soup
I finally got the coconut cream I tasted a while back. It was hard to get because apparently it’s a new product. But it was worth the waiting. The difference between coconut milk and the coconut cream is that it’s much creamier and the taste is more pronounced. You could very well do with coconut … Continue reading
