The 27th of August is St Fanourios day for the Greek Orthodox. It is said that this vegan cake was his favourite. People in Cyprus and Greece make this cake as a gift to him, when they lost something or when they wish for something to happen.
I make it because i like it so much. It is a very simply, yet delicious cake, great for every season, for breakfast or as a sweet treat during the day. The cinnamon, zest and vanilla simply make it really tasty.
There are various variations to the recipe, the one i love and make is the below.
I’ve been trying for so long to get my kids to eat healthier. It’s really been a battle, one which i too often lose! This week, i had a small win: my youngest one not only helped me develop these bars, she actually tried them and loved them! So I named them after her! She was so proud!
They are packed with so much goodness and are easy to like, even for the most fussy eaters!
Blueberries are one of my absolutely favourite fruits! I love their taste, i love their health benefits and ok i love their colour! Paired with almonds, coconut, oats and chia seeds, these little bites are loaded with so much goodness your body and mood will thank you!
When the rest of the family is eating burgers, enjoy a vegan tortilla wrap! I think tortilla wraps are such a delightful and light lunch option! Make it nutritious and you are covered!
Quinoa – complete protein containing all essential amino acids.
Sweet potatoes – another super food. Sweet potatoes are high in many important nutrients. They contain a good amount of fiber as well as vitamin A, C, manganese and several other vitamins and minerals.
Avocados – One of my everyday staples! They have a unique nutrition profile. They contain lots of fiber and are rich in vitamins and minerals, such as B-vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin E and vitamin C, potassium and copper.

Being Mediterranean, i truly do love the flavours and everything about the Mediterranean cuisine. I love the ‘fixation’ on fresh, colourful, tasteful products. I love the aromas, the colours, the senses involved in cooking and eating in a Mediterranean country.
So i was in absolute heaven in Tuscany! And of course I came back, but my mind is still somewhere in the vineyards and medieval cities! And thus this pesto! Hope you enjoy it as much as i did!
I have to be honest, i could not think of a name for these ones!! What i know is that they are delicious, nutritious and really keep you going! Great as breakfast, mid-day snack, pre or post workout snack!
When life gives you cherries, well you really have to try this cherry smoothie!!! Blend with cocoa, bananas, pea protein, chia seeds, oats and you’ve got a delicious, healthy, protein packed and filling breakfast.
