I’ve always loved pasta and I really don’t know what I like better: warm pasta dishes or pasta salad. I think the special thing about pasta salad is that we don’t have it very often (most of the time we only make it for parties or BBQs), so I’m always getting quite excited about it. When…
Pumpkin Pasta with Tomatoes and Basil
So it’s official: I got a crush! And not a small one. A HUGE one! His name is Pumpkin, Mr. Pumpkin, and he loves wearing orange. Haha! No, just kidding. But it’s this time of year again when I can’t stop eating pumpkin! I’m a total pumpkin addict. Yesterday, we had this super easy pumpkin…
Vegan German Cheese Spaetzle
Have you ever heard of cheese spaetzle? It’s a traditional German comfort dish that is like a German version of Mac & Cheese. Only so much better! It has been one of my favorite foods for a really long time, but when I became vegan about three years ago I didn’t really think about it…
Vegan Meatballs with Spaghetti
Last night, we had the most delicious vegan meatballs with spaghetti! When I think of spaghetti with meatballs, the first thing that comes to my mind is the meatball scene in the Disney’s classic ” Lady and the Tramp” when Tramp takes out his Lady for a romantic dinner. I used to love this movie…
Red Bell Pepper Almond Pesto with Spaghetti
I really love pesto; it’s easy, delicious, and there are so many different variations. We usually stick with green pesto with basil, spinach, or kale (especially in the winter). A couple of days ago, we, however, tried a new recipe: Red bell pepper almond pesto with spelt spaghetti, mushrooms, zucchini, and green onions. I couldn’t…
Vegan Tempeh Carbonara
When I was still eating meat, I didn’t like bacon at all, but now I just love vegan tempeh carbonara with spaghetti. I already made this hearty Italian pasta dish with smoked tofu instead of tempeh a couple of times. I’m not 100 percent sure what was better (Flo always tells me how bad I…
Vegan Spring Spaghetti with Asparagus and Strawberries
It’s asparagus season in Germany and Flo and I eat this long-awaited spring vegetable at least once a week. Most of the time we eat white asparagus with potatoes, which is a typical German dish, but today we had a slightly exotic version: Vegan spring spaghetti with asparagus and strawberries. Besides, I also added fennel,…
Soba Noodles with Vegetables and Sesame Tofu
Today I got an Asian-inspired recipe for you: Soba noodles with vegetables and sesame tofu. For those of you who have never heard of soba noodles, soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat, so these thin noodles are actually made out of only two ingredients: Buckwheat flour and water. In Japan they are pretty popular…
Mediterranean Orzo Salad
On Sunday, I just came back from London, where I spent four awesome and sunny days together with my mom! London does not only offer super interesting sightseeing attractions like Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, or the Tower Bridge, but it also has a a great variety of vegan and vegetarian restaurants. I don’t…
Zucchini Noodles with Red Bell Pepper, Olives, and Cashew-Parmesan
At first, I was kind of skeptical about zucchini noodles or zoodles. I thought they were a bit tasteless and you would have to eat tons of them to not feel hungry again after a short while. However, I was still curious as I heard so much about them! When I got a spiral slicer…
