Steamed Chili Lime Salmon

by Kommentar verfassen

A juicy salmon with a spicy, fresh and slightly sweet marinade, steamed to perfection is one of the best light lunches you can have. No matter if it is on top of a salad in summer, some soba noodles or with some creamy rice. Its a delicious, healthy and easy dish which will be added to your weekly meal plans!

I really love steamed fish. I believe that this way it is easiest to not dry them out while cooking, they always taste fresh and they don’t feel like there is a thousand ingredients in the dish. In my favourite Thai restaurant in Vienna, I ALWAYS order their steamed fish, although it is a sea bass and not a salmon but it is so good. You mostly get them at restaurants because many people just have a lot of resect of preparing them, although it is really simple.

Espacially in summer or spring, I feel like this is a great dish because it is super refreshing. Also, you barely have to do any cooking. Just prep a little, them place the steamer on the pot and the magic happens itself. It is great during these hot summer days (which we unfortunately do not have yet, but we can just pretend), where we do not want to spend hours in the kitchen.

Salmon, also is really healthy. It is packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to reduced depression, and stress, an increase in happiness and it even is supposed to help with stopping to smoke. These health benefits are all so amazing! Plus salmon has a lot of protein and minerals too! What really is important when preparing salmon is that you buy it in high quality. Best is organic or wild caught. They are more expensive, but they are way better for our health. Non-organic salmons are fed with antibiotics, when then come into our bodies. Too many antibiotics can cause us humans to at some point we can not react to the ones we really need, from the doctor any more. Also, the conditions in which non organic Salmons are raised are often really bad. They stay in their nets and often eat their own poop. It is so shocking, because 25% of non-organic salmons DIE EACH YEAR due to infections or other in the nets. They do not die because they are then going to be sold but because of illnesses.

If you buy a good quality salmon though, you can really taste the difference too. The remaining ingredients are pretty simple. Lime, and some asian sauces that you can get at most supermarkets or otherwise in an asian supermarket. It is best if you marinate the salmon for a few hours before you cook it. If you do not have this time, it is not a big problem either, you can just drizzle the marinade on top of the salmon when it is done and you will also get a lot of flavour, it just is not as intense.

This recipe also works for meal prep and you can still enjoy it the day after. Due to the steaming it does not dry out so it still tastes good the day after. I would keep the sauce separately and pour it over when you want to eat it. You can enjoy it cold or reheat it.

Bon appetit and I hope that you will like it!
Enjoy,

Cook with the Mood

by Kommentar verfassen

Since most of us are supposed to stay at home and hopefully do so in order to protect people around us and keep us healthy. BUT we do not want to get bored in those weeks, especially not with the food we are eating. So here I have created a list of my recipes that are categorised into moods or situations so you know what to cook depending on how you are felling and what you want to have!

Therapy Baking:

Baking and making sweets is so therapeutic! I do not know what is better: the making itself or the enjoying it after. But if you are feeling like baking or makes treats these days, here are some recipes.

Hey-goey Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars

<a href=

The perfect meditative and most delicious thing ever. Honestly this is my go to dessert and snack. Its not hard, does not have many ingredients and it is kinda healthy, although it does not taste healthy. If you want to treat yourself to an addictingly good sweet then this is it!

Chocolate Coconut Almond Dates

Another go to with similar ingredients. Such a good and easy snack. Sweet and soft dates covered in crispy chocolate and fresh coconut with a crunchy almond in the middle to give it a bite. So delicious! http://unepetitecuisiniere.com/chocolate-coconut-almond-dates/

Healthy Apple Crumble Cake

Juice apple on a whole wheat base with a crispy topping. And a dollop of vanilla ice cream or ben and Jerrys. Thats a high level therapy baking. Those three layers are incredibly delicious and especially with that melting ice cream on top of a hot slice of cake. SO GOOD.

Carrot Cake Muffins

Need some baking but still need to sneak some vitamins in? This is the perfect solution! Whole grain carrot cake muffins with some whipped ricotta and a drizzle of honey. Maybe with a cup of tea or coffee! Afternoon snack is saved!

Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches.

If you are already feeling those summer vibes, grab a few things and make those super good and healthy vegan cookie dough Ice cream sandwiches. Leave out the figs (because you will probably not find any at this time of the year) and substitute them with berries or just leave them out. This is a go-to in summer but why not making them now? There never is a bad time for ice cream!

No-bake Vegan Cashew Lavender Cake

A no-bake and vegan option for those who feel like trying out something new. The cashews make it creamy and if you do not find lavender syrup, take mashed blueberries or any other syrup. You can even take pureed and frozen mango, whatever you are feeling like.

Rhubarb Compote

The first Rhubarb of the season is out and there is another better to be doing with it than cooking it into compote and adding it on top of every ice cream, yoghurt anything else. Even goes great on cake. Get some rhubarb and watch it simmer down slowly and getting sweet. So good.

Lemon Creme with Basil Strawberries

Last but 100% not least in this therapeutic baking recipes is this ultra delicious lemon creme with basil strawberries. Super fresh, super easy, not THE healthiest but still fine and most importantly: incredibly delicious! If you do not have strawberries, use frozen berries or top it with some lemon zest. You know, you gotta improvise!

When working on your Summer Body

If you now finally have time to stay at home and work on that summer body, I have got some super delicious and healthy recipes for you here. Honestly, pretty much everything is healthy on my blog, and you shouldn’t just be eating salad, also if you want to get healthier, because you know, its all about the balance. But these are my favourite and most healthy recipes. Those are just savoury but you can look into the therapy baking if you want some healthy and sweet ones!

Breakfast Quinoa 2 ways

This one is a dream. I am still making this very often. And no matter if you are more on the sweet or on the savoury side, I have got something for you! It is so delicious, and nutritious. You can pimp it up with anything, make it a breakfast, brunch, lunch or even dinner. This meal works for any time of the day and it is so healthy! Definitely should go onto your recipe list!

Vegan Rice Noodle Salad with Best Crispy Tofu

This is one of my all time favourite healthy vegan dishes. It is so incredibly simple to make but packed with a ton of flavour. You get carbs from the rice noodles, protein from the tofu (and no, this tofu is by far not boring, it is everything else than boring), lots of vitamins from the veggies and healthy fats from the nuts and nut butter. A totally balanced and absolutely delicious meal. Even if you are not vegan, you will enjoy this and not miss the meat in here! I promise!

Green Beans with Almond Bread Crumbs

This recipe actually is a side dish but if you combine it with some quinoa, and avocado or a grilled chicken breast, it makes a super healthy and quick lunch or dinner. The green beans are so healthy and so good. Together with the crispy almond bread crumbs they do not taste super healthy but they are! This also is a very family friendly meal!

Winter Salad with Baked Apple

I know that it is called winter salad, but it works at any part of the year. It is meant to be eaten in winter because the baked apple is so comforting, but if you feel like having something extra and comforting this is perfect. The apple, the steamed kale, the fresh feta cheese. Just leave out the chestnuts and substitute them with walnuts or pine nuts and you are fine!

Green Goddess Bowl

This dish is perfect for when you feel like nourishing your body. Getting in all the greens and vitamins to just feel your best, keep your body healthy and your immune system working! All of the greens are in this bowl. And it has the best dressing ever (hint, its made with Tahini). Its vegan, and summer body approved!

Think Pink Smoothie

It is spring, and the sun is shining, which means fresh food and many fruits! At least to me! Fruits are such a great source of vitamins and fibre and we all know that they are super healthy. But also super delicious, especially when packed into a smoothie. Make this whenever you want as a snack or breakfast and get ready for summer!

Vegan Kale Ceaser Salad

The last salad recipe for today and this is a must! It is healthy and so incredibly good! Add some cooked Quinoa to make it more filling. The dressing is everything. Not your regular Ceasar dressing but incredibly good. Plus best ever crispy chickpeas and home made dried tomatoes. You have never had such a delicious salad!

Mango Overnight Oats

Breakfast has not been this good for a long time! I think this is the best overnight oat recipe ever. And it is so important to have a healthy and balanced breakfast. It helps you to reduce cravings and binge eat. This is bringing all of the tropical vibes into your kitchen and will brighten up your day a little! Enjoy!

For the Family Chef:

If you now do not have school or uni and have unofficially or officially turned into the chef for the entire family here are some recipes that will please your entire family. It is never easy to please a bunch of people with a meal but these should work fine. You can make some adaptions if you feel like it but no need to!

3 Tomato Gnocchi with Garlicy Prawns

Too good to be true. This is not only for summer, but for every time you want to please and impress your family with a delicious and fancy sounding meal. Gnocchi (because who doesn’t like them) with 3 tomatoes and garlic prawns. Is way simpler than it looks but so good!

Tabouleh Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Perfect family dinner. It is possible to make it vegan, or add some halloumi and make it vegetarian or some grilled chicken if there are men who can’t live without meat in your family. Such a colourful dish and the seasoning for the sweet potatoes is incredible. This makes a perfect dinner, honestly!

Veal Stuffed Zucchini Cannelloni

Low carb, Italian, molten mozzarella, tangy tomato sauce. It is incredibly good. A little work to roll up all of the zucchini but it is worth it! Serve it with some baguette or bread or if you want to make it a little heavier roll the meat in the zucchini and some cooked lasagna sheets! Your family will love you for this!

Italian Meatball Sub

Meatballs are my go-to family dinner because everyone likes them! And those are incredible. The sage in it is everything! Crazy good. And in this tomato sauce, with some parmesan cheese on top between some crispy baguette or on top of some pasta = family chef job is done perfectly! No matter if you have younger siblings or kids, or whoever lives with you, this stuff is good.

Beetroot Pasta Bake

If you are ever getting bored of a basic pasta bake, MAKE THIS! The sauce is so creamy and good. The colour is just amazing, which is great if you want kids to eat it, because it just looks pretty! Plus the goats cheese on top wit the crispy baked bread crumbs and honey make the perfect topping. This is not a lot of work, especially if you buy the beetroot pre-cooked.

Ultimate Hummus

Hummus is a family meal. It just is. If you make a big batch you can have it throughout the week. It is great to have it with your breakfast, in a lunch sandwich, or on your dinner toast. Even a great healthy snack with some cut up veggies. It is really simple and your family will love it!

Miso Sweet Potatoes with Coconut Rice

Another family friendly and super delicious dish. The miso sweet potatoes are so good. They are slightly sweet and so delicious. The coconut rice is so creamy and the perfect addition to any asian dish. No matter if it is a curry, a stir fry or this delicious dish. This is vegan but if you want to add some prawn or chicken, you can, although you do not need to!

Oven Baked Lemon Honey Feta

Sounds fancy, tastes fancy but is the easiest thing ever. You throw everything in a baking dish and bake it for like 10 minutes. The flavour after baking? Unreal! The freshness of the lemon and capers, the sweetness of the honey, the crispness of the breadcrumbs. The combination is just out of this world. Put it on top of some bread or salad and everyone in your family is happy!

For those who only want to cozy up in bed

I know, maybe you are stressed and worried and the is nothing better than binge watching Netflix in your Pjs and lying in bed all day. With some seriously good comfort food! So here I have a list of comforting recipes to make when you just feel like a warm bowl of something.

Thai Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Soup

Soup is the Ideal comforting food for body and soul. And this soup is the perfect addition to your favourite series in bed. It has some thai hints with the coconut milk but is so creamy due to the sweet potatoes and cauliflower. The lemongrass and ginger give you the perfect spices. With some rice in it or some prawn/ chicken skewers this is the perfect dinner.

Tomato and Bean Soup

Spicy, warming, comfortable. With the slightly buttery beans and the soft red onions plus all of the herbs and the tomatoes this is another super good soup recipe. Take it onto your sofa with some freshly toasted bread and just dig in. This is super good soul food.

Mint and Pea Soup

Last soup recipe and then we are on to something different but this had to come into this post because it is so good. My latest obsession. The mint is just so refreshing and the peas add such a nice flavour. With the dollop yoghurt on top this is just a bowl of good stuff. Needs to go onto your list!

Creamy Lentil Dhal

This is one of my current favourites. I am making this so often right now because it just tastes amazing. And it is super healthy. When the lentils soften up they get a little mushy and with the coconut milk it gets all creamy. It is in the middle of a soup and a stew. The potatoes add that extra heartiness and much needed carbs and the lime on top just adds the perfect finish. This tastes best with some home made naan to soak everything up!

Tomatoey Lemon Beans on Crispy Sourdough

Think baked beans just healthier and better and you have those delicious ones. The lemon adds a nice twist, but the maple and tomato sauce keep it nice and comforting. In this post you also have the instructions on how to make the best crispy toasted bread with that buttery flavour. So good and vegan. Best: enjoyed in bed!

If you are planning on sleeping in every day: the best breakfasts!

I mean, many people cannot do their jobs right now or go to uni or school. So what else would be the first thing that comes to your mind than sleeping in? I am a huge fan of getting up early and being productive all day long but sometimes you just need to sleep in. And I know that there are people who need that every day. So here are my favourite breakfast (in bed) recipes!

Açai Bowl

Açai Bowls are one of my current breakfasts. I just LOVE the taste and consistency and you can just sneak in so many veggies without even noticing. Plus it is super quick so you really have to only leave your bed for a few minutes. Throw everything in a blender, decorate pretty (or not if you are too lazy) and enjoy! Summer vibes are 100% present in this bowl because this is goals!

French Toast with Whipped Ricotta

A classic: French Toast. But it would not be a classic if it was not that good. This was one of the first recipes on my blog and is one of the most popular. For a reason. The toast is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The whipped honey ricotta gives a nice contrast and the fresh fruit just takes it next level. Since you probably will not find fresh figs at this time of the year, you can just use any other fruit. Bananas, fresh or frozen berries, or whatever. Also works without!

Ultimate Breakfast Tacos

They would not be called ultimate if they were not. This is such a treat. And it is a healthy treat! I do seriously not believe that there is a better breakfast in bed (except for avocado toast maybe) out there than these! OUT OF THIS WORLD. If you make them you are in serious danger of making them every day. The soft tortillas with the even softer scrambler eggs, plus the fresh avocado slices, crispy bacon and the pickled onion on top. The flavours just go in harmony together, it is crazy!

Bircher with Honey Poached Apple

Not 100% the original recipe but better and healthier. This is such a delicious breakfast. And you can prepare it the night before, which means you only need to grab it from the fridge and cozy up in your bed again! Doesn’t that sound great? To me it does! The creamy oats with apple in it and the seeds on top for crunch? Already amazing together! But not to forget about the honey poached apple! This takes everything next level!

Oatmeal with Caramelized Bananas

I cannot make a breakfast recipe list without at least one oatmeal recipe because I know that many are obsessed with it. So I have my favourite oatmeal recipe here! Super creamy Oats with sweet and sticky caramelised bananas. SO comforting and such a treat. Add some peanut butter on top and you are gonna want to dive into this bowl. No, seriously, it is really good. And it is healthy, so what still stops you from making it?

Classic Pancakes

They are called Christmas pancakes but essentially they are just classic, healthy and fluffy pancakes. And I thought that this is the best recipe to round up this post. No week without pancakes. They are really easy to make and they are healthy (although they taste like normal pancakes)! Make them for you and your loved one and enjoy breakfast in bed!

I hope that you are not too hungry as of now and that this blog post helped you to get ideas, inspiration, and recipes to get you through the next month! With that many things to make, you will not get bored of eating the same things over and over again. I am going to keep uploading recipes so if you want to stay tuned, sign up for my newsletter on my home page and I will keep you updated about the new posts!

Have a good time and do no stress yourself too much!

Mango Overnight Oats (vegan)

by Kommentar verfassen

Whats better than a creamy bowl of oats with fresh Fruits to start your day? Not much! Since it is not quite summer yet, we are just gonna pretend it was with this recipe because it is summer in a bowl. Creamy soaked oats that you can prepare ahead of time and just grab to have as a breakfast on the go or one ready in 30 seconds at home. Sounds pretty perfect.

Although, I am in general more on the savoury side rather than on the sweet, I really enjoy having some good oats for breakfast. I know, and I am gonna be honest, oats, plain, taste incredibly boring. So don’t, please don’t, do oats and water. Its annoying on the one side, but it also is pretty nice because you can adapt them and they will soak up any flavour.

The first times, I made oats, they weren’t good and I always wondered about why everyone was hyping them so much because they literally tasted like boring pulp and only got more in my mouth. With time, I figured out how to cook them the best way. In my oatmeal recipes on the blog (you can just type in oatmeal in the search bar and will find some) I shared a bunch of tips with you on how to cook the best oatmeal.

But overnight oats is a different thing again. Yes, same base, but different procedure, so different tips for best results. So first, you need to start with a good base. I believe that overnight oats work best with short and fine oats and not whole ones because they soak up the liquid better and make it creamier. Next up, use a good milk. This, really is up to you, if you use cows milk or any plant milk. My favourite is oat milk. Yes, sounds like a lot of oats but the reason I love this is that oat milk tastes really good. Besides this, oats are locally grown in Austria and do not need as much water as almonds do and the transportation coasts are really low and carbon friendly.

Oats and milk are the base for any overnight oats but adding yoghurt into it is a game changer. It adds creaminess. makes it more filling and tastier. Here, same as with the milk, you can chose whichever one you want! And, of course, we need the star of the show, the mango. I like to use frozen one because when thawing in the fridge overnight they release a lot of juice and add more flavour. Plus, they are cheaper when bought frozen and they are harvested in season and not at any time of the year. I know, mangoes are not grown locally but once in a while I believe that it is totally ok, eating something that doesn’t grow next door, especially if you balance it out with the rest of your diet.

This recipe makes a really great meal prep recipe. You can prepare it the night before or even on the weekend before and take some during the week for a super quick breakfast at home or for on the go to take to work, uni or school. It really brings some summer vibes into your kitchen and will upgrade your breakfast routine!

I hope that you will enjoy this recipe,

Love,

Tomatoey Lemon Beans on crispy Sourdough

by Kommentar verfassen

This is another breakfast for dinner thing. As you might realize, I am pretty obsessed with this rn! I mean you can totally have that for breakfast if you prepare it the night before but its an amazing dinner too! Think baked beans just a little less sweet and with a lemons twist with some softened arugula on crispy sourdough. Sounds pretty solid huh?

When to make it? 
Honestly, this is really incredibly simple and easy to make, so you could even make it fresh in the morning but it is just as good if you make it before and just reheat it. Or in a big batch and enjoy throughout the week! 

Why white beans?
The reason I am using white beans here is because I believe that they are the best!! Out of all beans, they are my favorite. They taste a little buttery and rich and not as dry as some others do, which I really like. Also they take on the red Color beautifully which kidney beans for example don’t, do they look really nice in this dish! 

Beans in general are a great food. No matter whether you cook them fresh or buy them canned they are packed with protein and fiber. This is such a great plant based protein source with over 6g of protein and almost 7g of fiber per 100g! 
That’s a whole lot! Also they have a lot of antioxidants and amino acids. Besides being healthy for your good and improving your digestion they are also linked to reducing the risk of cancer and improve your heart health. So they are an amazing scientist superfood. 

How to buy them? 
It really doesn’t matter, it is whatever you prefer! If you buy them canned, they of course are way more convenient because they are basically ready to eat. Just make sure you read the label carefully and that there are not a thousand additional ingredients you can’t pronounce. Also drain and wash them before consuming so you get rid of gases that might bloat you and excess salt. 
If you buy them raw on the other hand, they are just as good and you can be sure that there are not any additives because you decide what is going in them. BUT! You have to cook them through because raw beans are poisonous! So few people actually know that but be careful. But when you cook them through they are jut as good, just need a little more time!

What else? 
Not a lot. Some canned and fresh tomatoes, agave, sea salt, tomato paste and water. That’s it. So simple right? A little fresh arugula is stored in at the end and some lemon zest for that wow-effect and voilá, there you go, dinner/ breakfast is ready. Serve it on some toasted sourdough and if you feel like making it extra good, spread butter or margarine (to keep it vegan) in both sides of the bread and toast it up in the pan instead of the toaster. This is so good. Buttery rich toasted sourdough with creamy, kinda sweet & tangy fresh tomatoey beans on top with some greens sneaked in. So good. 

Honestly, I love making this as a quick dinner or a decent breakfast or even at brunch for when friends are over. It is so good, no matter if you are vegan or not because honestly, with some bacon on top, it is next level! I hope that you will love this recipe as much as I do! 

Happy cooking!
