On a Sunday morning there is nothing better than being tickled awake by the heavenly scent of freshly baked vegan breakfast pancakes. And if those oh-so-good, vanilla-scented, fluffy pancakes happen to be surrounded by fruity strawberry compote, there’s only one thing missing to make you soar off to breakfast heaven. It is . . .

Hot, sweet and aromatic Apple & Parsnip Soup is just perfect for when your stomach is longing for something warm & nourishing. Right now, in February, I often feel that way.
I have to admit it now. Winter isn’t my season. At all.
Once the Christmas season is over and the little snow has melted away, unfortunately there isn’t that much left over that could sweeten this gray, wet, cold season. Please tell me that you know what I mean . . .
And that’s exactly where a sweet, light & warming soup comes in handy . . .

This Epic Vegan Snack Platter is really all you need for a perfectly cozy evening on the couch. Well, maybe apart from cuddly pillows, a good movie & good friends. 🙂
And the best part?
The creamy chocolate dip!!! Naturally . . . 😅

What’s the one thing that must not be missing on any movie night (apart from an engrossing movie obviously)??
Well, tasty crunchy nibbles, of course!
Like my vegan turmeric grissini. You guys, these little bread sticks are so much better than any boring fatty old crisps. 
They are spicy, super crispy, quick & easy to make and good for you, too.
Find out why here . . .

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. 💕
Are you as excited as I am?
Or are you wondering just why everyone is getting so crazy about all things pink & hearts?
Anyways, I hope as the cake lover that you probably are, you can’t wait to read all about my tasty little Valentine’s Raspberry Mini Cakes. They are just a click away . . .

Today, I’ll share a typical German recipe with you: potato salad it is.
This salad was fairly common on our table at home when I was a little girl.
My dad comes from Swabia and his love for Swabian food is still going strong today. We regularly had Maultaschen (some kind of ravioli), Spaetzle, Gaisburger Marsch (a soup) and potato salad. I’ve always loved my dad’s salad because . . .

Today is one of those winter days when my soul needs Vegan Sweet Dumplings (or Buchteln in german 🙂). They are fluffy, soft, vanilla-scented, slightly sweet dough balls with a golden-brown crust. Oh yes . . . my stomach starts growling already, just thinking about it. 😅 Yours, too? Then jump on over to the recipe . . .
