Ultimate vegan rusks
The ultimate vegan rusks are just my absolute favorite rusk recipe that I had to share. Rusks is a very well known breakfast must have in South Africa. Our parents and their parents grew up knowing this dried sweet bread as a meal that can’t go without. Till today my husband and I enjoy rusks with our breakfast and shares a few bites here and there with our son. There is few that comes close to a good nostalgic rusk!
Harissa roasted vegetable medley
Harissa roasted vegetable medley is a perfect winter afternoon lunch idea. It’s packed with flavor and takes less than an hour to put together. The flavor’s of the harissa and honey roasted chickpeas, work so well with the crunchy and sweet roasted vegetables, sumac roasted cauliflower, juicy plums, pomegranate jewels and salted pistachio’s. It’s a nutritional dream bowl for the flu season knocking on your door!
Ginger chocolate oat cookies
Ginger chocolate oat cookies, I have been trying to find a name for the subtle spiced cookies. They are a mix between chocolate chip and festive ginger cookies, a phoenix you might call them. They are delightfully light, chewy and sweet. Christmas cookies are stressing me out for real, making beautiful cookies takes a lot of patience and loads of percision that is for sure! I have made two batches and the cookies came out all right, but the frosting is nothing to write home about! That’s where the true artist comes out…
Rocket miso pesto butter Semolina
Rocket miso pesto butter Semolina with roasted tomatoes is such a beautiful dish. It took no more than twenty minutes to make this whole complete dish that can be enjoyed all on it’s own or as a side dish for the festive season ahead. The cherry vine tomatoes are sweet and tangy perfect with the creaminess of the semolina.
Pumpkin s’mores cheesecake
Pumpkin s’mores cheesecake is the elegant spin on the typical pumpkin pie. It’s light and airy, yes with the graham cracker crust that gives that spicy tang that you get from the good old pumpkin pie. I remember I made my very first pumpkin pie a couple years ago and that version went straight into the dustbin. This cheesecake in fact is absolutely yumm and it’s certainly one I’ll be making again and again!
Pecan pie crêpes
Pecan pie crêpes need no explanation. With fall all around, comfort food is needed. These are so easy to make and they’ll be ready in no time for Sunday brunch. Fluffy pancakes plus candied pecans, and a creamy cheesecake filling. Yes, please.
Cinnamon sugar pumpkin fritters
Cinnamon sugar pumpkin fritters are vegan and oh so delicious! I was so surprised by these fritters that I made them two days in a row and even my better half could not tell the difference. They are crunchy on the outside and super soft and chewy. They remind me so much of my mother’s pumpkin fritters that we would have for Sunday lunch and I think even she would approve.
Chocolate caramel tart
Chocolate caramel tart makes me think of the festive season that is ahead. I know a warmly baked pudding is something I would choose in this cold any day, but a sweet delectable chocolate caramel tart cannot be denied. It’s made with a chocolate buckwheat base, slightly bitter caramel filling, topped with a dark chocolate ganache topping.
I have been seeing some tarts on social media quite a bit and I have been craving this tart that I made a couple years ago. This tart is perfect for the mid-week slump and even my husband that is a fast food lover by choice said it was tasty. So I guess this tart qualifies as a cheat meal for the connoisseurs out there.
Rainbow carrot butternut soup
Rainbow carrot butternut soup is super amazing and so nutritious. The season has come for warming soups and I absolutely love the fact that you can have a nutritional meal within half an hour or so. I made a batch of this lovely soup last week and I finished it in almost a day’s time. I served this soup with a soft and chewy bread with a flavor punch, which was super amazing!
Fig rye banana bread
Fig rye banana bread is a banana bread lover’s dream come true. This bread is dense yet light, moist and so delish with the dried figs hidden in there. I absolutely love this bread and will def make it again, again and again. The spelt and rye flours complement the luscious figs so well. I am still dreaming about this loaf.
