Vegetarian Hungarian Paprikás (Vegetable Stew with Dumplings)

Hey foodies! I missed you so much! Sorry for the long, long break but I had so much work to do; 4 big websites in less than 2 weeks, yep.. no time for cooking. I've been eating eggs for breakfast and eggs again for lunch and dinner. I don't think I'll eat eggs for a long time now.

The recipe below was taught to me but my mom. It is a spicy Hungarian recipe that I love! My grandma used to make this when I was little but she added chicken also. The original recipe contains meat but this is the vegetarian, healthier version.

P.S.  ..if you need a website let me know! Here's my portfolio. My website is currently in construction because I want to change the whole design.

I'm a parsley maniac! Yes I am! I eat parsley in HUGE quantities and not just as garnish. I sometimes eat it just as it is...chop it, put it in a bowl..Tadaa! Parsley Salad! Parsley is very healthy. Did you know that parsley contains 4 times more vitamin C than citrus fruits? The ideal vitamin C provider.

Delicious Vegan Whole Wheat Lasagna with Mushrooms

This dish is one of my favorites so far. I didn't think it will be so good but trust me it's even better than the original meat lasagna.

The wonderful thing about using mushrooms for lasagna is that mushrooms provide a richness and meaty texture that makes most people not miss the meat at all.

I substituted the shredded cheese on top that is usually sprinkled over lasagna with a lovely flavorful tomato and basil sauce. The combination is awesome and you won't miss the cheesy texture. Of course, if you have some vegan cheese you can use it but unfortunately it can't be found here.

You definitely must try this! You'll love it !

Today I bought some delicious healthy pasta - whole wheat tagliatelle with basil. I was very curious to see how they taste but in the same time I really wanted to make a roasted red bell pepper salad, because I was craving for it for a very long time. I decided to combine them and make a main dish salad. It was a great decision! All flavors blend together perfectly!

You'll definitely like this light, colorful and savory salad. Enjoy!

Crepe Rolls with Chocolate Cream, Chestnut Puree and Plum Jam

It’s been a while since the last time I had crepe rolls for dessert. Jam filled crepes were my favorite when I was little but as you know they’re a bit fattening so now I rarely eat them. In my opinion there is nothing wrong to indulge yourself with some delicacies once in a while, so yesterday I made these delicious crepes – my healthier version.  

The great thing about it is that you can use any filling you like. I used homemade chocolate cream, chestnut puree and plum jam. All these fillings are very healthy and sugar-free.

Hope you’ll like this recipe.

Multigrain Bread

I’m not a huge fan of baked goodies and I also don’t eat bread very often, but unfortunately my boyfriend needs bread at almost every meal the same way he needs air to breathe. I decided then to make a compromise, so once a week I make him a healthy and tasty bread which is surprisingly filling and instead of eating 5 servings of “filled with chemicals” bread a week, he only eats a healthy one. This is a simple recipe that does not require a lot of kneading.
