Spinach Salad with Quinoa & Chicken

March 12, 2015 by Cris Leave a Comment

This fresh salad makes it a treat to eat more spinach and quinoa. Easy-peasy healthy salad, just so you know!

Spring is finally here … Hooray! :) One of the reasons I love this season is that I can now play with all the yummy, fresh produce around at the moment and whip up some light but satisfying salads that are so crazy-good, even the carnivores will come running over for dinner.

In our house, we love enjoying a satisfying salad for dinner, really. Basically, I pack up most of my salads with tons of fresh veggies, cheese, seeds and nuts that keep us full for hours….

Roasted Cauliflower with Feta Cheese

November 20, 2014 by Cris 8 Comments

You’re right, this is not a Feta & Cauliflower Frittata, however, it’s going to be much quicker, healthy and so damn delicious … Ladies and gentlemen, this roasted cauliflower will show you the other side of the coin when you combine it with feta cheese, coconut milk and red bell pepper.

Although lately I’ve been cooking this recipe pretty often (especially when I’m busy), I realized only recently that I haven’t shared with you yet.
You might wonder why?… what’s so special about this one? Well, if you are not a big fan of cauliflower, let me turn you into one by the end of this article….

Chickpeas, Spinach & Feta Cheese Snack

November 3, 2014 by Cris 2 Comments

A delicious and quick to make kind of snack topped with chickpeas, spinach, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, chillies, a drizzle of olive oil and oregano. Heaven!

I realized the other day that I haven’t posted a snack recipe here in a while. And it’s not because I don’t eat healthy snacks that often (which would be a big lie), but it’s mostly because I personally believe that it’s not enough for a quick and easy snack to make such a representation on the blog….

The weather has been gorgeous in the last couple of days in this part of the world, too. And I am sooooo grateful for that!!! Therefore, I spent some time outdoors to recharge my batteries with solar energy and good spirit.

However, all I craved for in the past couple of days were a few colorful salads, combined with all sorts of nuts and fresh fruits. I will share with you today three of my favorite salads.

Soup à la Panama

June 28, 2014 by Cris Leave a Comment

A different kind of soup recipe with an unexpected sweetness taste from the corn, peas, red bell pepper and feta cheese.

You are not going to believe it, but I learned this soup from my boyfriend’s parents. Some months back, when I first met them, they came all the way from Panama to visit us, especially to meet me in person.

I still remember all the stress before, trying to make sure that everything is in place, the kitchen looks spotless and that we also had a couple of very cold German beers in the fridge. Hey, we are living in Germany, after all, the German beer is one of the best treats!…
