Real food for real life.
And then there’s this easy bibimbap, one of my favorite Korean recipes. I discovered Korean food relatively late in life, but once I did, it stuck. I’ve never actually been to Korea (yet!), but who knows, maybe one day. I love those intense flavors, the Korean BBQ, all that delicious […]
Not everyone has the time (or patience) for a relaxed, sit-down breakfast. Some mornings you’re rushing out the door, and sometimes you just don’t feel like chewing your breakfast. That’s where breakfast smoothies can save the day! They’re quick, convenient, and you can throw almost anything into a blender. Matcha […]
I used to be one of those people who would happily skip breakfast, coconut oatmeal did not exist for me yet. I somehow believed that when it came to eating, less (times) was more. Well, turns out my body doesn’t necessarily agree with that philosophy. Over the years, I’ve learned […]
crispy pork sweet potato, , pak choi, fresh moringa leaves and toasted cashews. An unexpectedly delicious combination of sweet, salty, fresh and crunchy.
Completely in BLF style, this lush vegan mushroom ramen is something you can fix in about 15 minutes, even though it looks like you’ve been in the kitchen for quite a while. It’s warm, full of veggies and mushrooms, has a little spice to it and makes a perfect lunch […]
This pumpkin chickpea curry is so full of nutrients. It is one of those dishes that manages to be proper comfort food while still packing in a lot of good stuff. This is my quick version, made with just a handful of ingredients and very little effort. Sometimes you want […]
Amazingly delicious and simple grilled chicken avocado salad. Dinner or lunch will be served in 10 minutes!
There was a morning in Portugal, a big wooden table out on the terrace, plates being passed down the line, a cozy warm little chaos, grabbing stuff from the table. A pile of small pancakes came in and all the kids eagerly grabbed some, this is when I properly understood […]
Some mornings just call for a bowl that feels like sunshine, and this quinoa breakfast bowl is exactly that. It takes me right back to holidays in the tropics, Curacao, Jamaica and also the Philippines, places where coconut isn’t just an ingredient, it’s part of daily life. Someone chops a […]
You know, me and my wraps. Falafel vegetables wrap this time, a big handful of greens, whatever crunchy veg needs using up, rolled into something that takes fifteen minutes and tastes like way more effort went in. If there’s a quick way to turn “not much in the fridge” into […]
Hello you, My name is Peggy and this is a place where I share recipes, life hazards, philosophical mind spinsels and everything somehow wrapped in a coat of food. Because I find that food talks life. I love dishes that are quick, nourishing, pretty, made with love and sometimes a little bit messy. Real food for real life.
