We all know that vegetables are essential in our alimentation, but sometimes eating them is not so easy; I go crazy for vegetable soups, risotto and baked vegetable with mayonnaise, etc. but there is food that no one can resist: cakes. So for the days that we’re not in the mood to eat so many veggies, I’ve created this simple and delicious recipe for pumpkin cake. It is a recipe super easy to make and is perfect for Phase 3 breakfast, accompanied by a good smoothie of vegetables and fruits. It is a vegetarian cake, dairy-free, very spongy and slightly moist inside.

A success on every occasion!

I do not know if it ever happens to you, but on Friday afternoon tastes sweet to me. If it is a rainy day like today in Barcelona, or if it is a sunny and hot day, on Friday afternoon I usually need a treat. But I do not want to give up eating healthy, so I have to manage to prepare something that is appetizing and tasty but at the same time very clean. This is how the gluten-free lemon mug cake that I propose today was born, it is easy to prepare and delicious. It’s a very handy sweet because if you are at home, you can eat it directly in the cup, but if you leave, you can put it in a bag and take it as a snack wherever you want.

I’m sure this mug cake will brighten the evening 😉

Easter has arrived and, as always, I propose a super healthy recipe to share with your families in these holidays. The Italian tradition inspires this year’s recipe: as you already know, although I live in Barcelona, I am originally from Rome, where the Easter breakfast is an incredible event. The whole family gathers and eats cheese bread, eggs, artichoke omelet, but the main protagonist is the Colomba, a delicious sweet shaped like a dove and covered with almonds and sugar. The recipe that I propose today is a healthy version of this Italian sweet, I choose muffin molds with Easter decorations, but you can put it in the traditional mold in the form of Colomba or a classic cake mold, as you like it ?

The Castanyada is a famous festivity of Catalonia celebrated between the October 31 and the November 1. It comes from an ancient funeral ritual feast in which families gathered to remember their deads. During this celebration typical foods of the autumn were consumed, such as chestnuts and sweet potatoes, but also traditional sweets such as panellets. These are sweets based on nuts, potatoes, and eggs.

After several years living in Barcelona, I have been able to try many different panellets, and the truth is that they are delicious. For this reason this year I decided to create my recipe for pumpkin panellets and contribute to the long tradition of this beautiful city. The panellets that I propose to you are 100% vegan so that everyone can enjoy them. I hope you like them 🙂
