Hey There! 🙂 I don’t know how about You, but I am hungry! 🙂
Recently I had a pack of tortillas, and wondered what vegan and tasty I could do with them. I wanted something different, special. With vegetables and vegan protein. Filling but still healthy.
After the shower of few ideas, here I came up with an amazing tortila pie! 🙂
A pie is formed by spreading the vegan filling on tortilla sheets (putting in layers).
For a vegan filling I used:
Aprx. 400 g. beans
2 peeled tomatoes
2 tbsp of natural tomatoes sauce
150 g. carrots
1/2 onion
1/3 of pores
A little bit of champignons or egg-plant
Salt
Pepper
Paprika and chili spices
A little bit of cocoa (optional)
Oil for baking
The process is easy – to put chopped ingredients in a well-heated pan to fry.
Firstly I put onion and grated carrots to fry. Then enrich with paprika, pores, continue to fry, put some champignons or egg-plant, add chopped tomatoes.
Make it even better with tomatoes sauce and spices and even cacao (if You like unusual tastes)
Then it s the time for the most filling part – boiled and a little bit ground beans to stick well with the rest of ingredients in the pan.
If You don t want to use a lot of fat, add more water instead and stew. Few minutes more and the filling will be ready to form a pie (tortilla sheet – filling, tortilla sheet – filling).
When the pie is ready, we need to squeeze it a bit and put in a cool place for few hours. Already impatient to see what happens! 🙂
Those tasty eggplants! (And You don t need to be a super cook). Except to know how to add additional love in preparing them :). So… what are You waiting for?
You will need:
Eggplant
Tomates
Yellow cheese
Garlic cloves
A little bit of oil forroasting
Soya sauce
Salt and spices
Basil leaves
Some cooks the sliced eggplants salt, leave for few min and let some water to go out on their surface. The water then is removed with a paper towel so later, when fried, they don’ t get too oily. I do not necessarily do that (if I don’ t have time) and they still turn out good and tasty. Spices are of great importance! Also soya sauce and garlic.
My eggplants are already sliced. I am roasting them a bit in a pan with little oil.
The oven is heating already. I put the roasted, sliced eggplants on a baking paper in a tray (we can add some soya sauce and chopped garlic as well).
Lets add some sliced tomatoes.
Mmmmm… already grabbing attention. But we need to go on with the process with some salt and the mixture Your favourite spices on top. Lets put in an oven.
After few min I add some vegan (or You can use regular if You want) cheese and bake them till they are all nicely melted with it.
3 min. more and eggplants are done! I love to put few basil leaves on top before putting in a plate.
Promising October morning. I still have summer garden tomatoes and crunchy pores. I have an idea! I will make something tasty, I have already tried several times – crunchy vegan protein salads :).
For a bowl of salads You will need:
1 tomatoe (or several small);
1 cup of boiled or canned beans;
Vegan mayonese
Salt and pepper to taste;
Pores to make Your salads green and cruncy.
In a wider bowl add beans, tomatoes cut in pieces, sliced pores rings. Add some more salt and petter and stir all well with mayonese.
1 glass of vegan natural yoghurt (or diary yoghurt if You prefer)
1/3 of teaspoon of cinnamon
Shake all ingredients in the blender. It s a very smooth and delicate taste, very refreshing and filling! 😉
RASPBERRIES are a good source of antioxidants and fiber. One cup of raspberries contains 8 grams of fiber. It is recommend that adults should consume between 22,4 g and 33,6 g of fiber a day, depending on their age and sex.
BLACKBERRIES contain a high level of vitamin C. One serving of 100 grams (g) contains 35 percent of an individual’s recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin C. These berries are a delicious addition to any diet. They are also packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants. They are excellent source of vitamins A, C, K.
Both raspberries and blackberries impressively positively affect the work of brains, so if You want to be positive , youthful, and brightly and clearly thinking eat handfuls! handfuls! of raspberries and blackberries and drink smoothies! 😉

A way to pamper Yourself with a dessert wisely at any time :).

1 banana
1 big avocado (or two smaller)
2 tbsp. of cacao (the mount of it depends on what chocolate You love more: stronger or lighter. For stronger taste and darker color You can add more cacao.
Banana is one of widest used fruit, not only because of its gentle taste, but also for its nutrition value. One medium banana (about 126 g.) is 110 kcal, 30 g carbohydrates and 1 g of protein. Bananas naturally don’t have neither fat nor cholesterol. Banana has vit. B6, C, A, manganese, potassium, nutritional fiber, magnesium, also folium acid and iron.
