Healthy Monkey Bread {Vegan}

What’s your Christmas morning tradition? When we were kids, we were always so excited Christmas morning we could never sleep. My parents actually got into the habit of setting the clocks back an hour so we didn’t wake them up at 5 in the morning to see if Santa came. When it was finally time to…

Hearty Vegetarian Bolognese

The other day I sat beside a cheerful, chatty 11 year old on the train who spoke four languages – four. We conversed in French on the train (his third language) and he couldn’t get over the fact that A) I just spoke two languages and that B) my family just speaks English. He seriously couldn’t get over how…

Healthy Pumpkin Bread with Maple Pecan Crumble

Things I learned since moving to Belgium: They do not sell canned pumpkin puree here. Chia seeds and a lot of other superrr foods are only sold in special shops. And everything in those special ships is wayyyy overpriced. I mean, who can afford 8 euros for a tiny bag of chia seeds that will last me less than…
