Working Sunday.

Weekends are my nightmare!
Working in a restaurant makes me hate Sunday 😔 but today sun is shining and I’m having a delicious breakfast, so I have a consolation at least.
A big glass of overnight chia pudding with other million healthy stuff is waiting for me.

For chia pudding I’ve used soy yogurt+dairyfree rice milk and 3 spoon of chiaseeds (left it in the fridge for the entire night) then I added flaxseeds, cacao, 1 spoon of strawberries natural jam, 4 dried plums, 1 banana, some frozen berries and a tablespoon of maple syrup.
Amazing taste! And protein breakfast.
Ready for work.

Strawberries coquette cupcakes.

Oh, finally I’m here again.
Lately I being very busy with work, so I couldn’t update the blog, but this evening I try to share with you all mine new recipes.
This one is the recipe of little treats that I usually bake when I doesn’t have a lot of time (so messed up life!) the only differences is that this time I cook them in coquettes.

The dough is very versatile, so you can change the addictional ingredients as you like (I use strawberries, apples, almonds, chocolate, mixedberries..).
For this cupcakes you need:

a pinch of salt
a pinch of ginger
1 spoon of cinnamon

Put the dough in every coquette (oiled) and lay a strawberry on the top of every cupcake.
180° for 15-20 minutes.

Vegan croissants.

I know that being vegan is the right choice, and the better choice, but sometimes I miss the tastes of the foods that I usually eat when I was omnivorous. Obviously it’s a normal things, but in that days I’m feel a little guilty.
Yesterday was the time of croissants-lack 😩, how much I wanted to devourn one!
I usually took the lemon cream brioche and it was amazing, exquisite, delicious!

I had to 2 choices (maybe 3 of you count the alternative of the suicide) take the car and drive to the closest bake shop, or take flour and bake a vegan croissant with my hands.
I choose the second and I won!

For croissants you need:
250 gr of whole flour
10 gr of olive oil
40 gr of mais oil
70 gr of whole sugar
1 spoon of rice syrup
1/2 pack of dried yeast
Bark and juice of an organic lemon
Cinnamon

Kneed the ingredients with water and obtain a dough soft and smooth.
Then, put the circoular dough in a large pan, wrap with plastic so it doesn’t dry and leave it rise for 2 hours.
Roll out the dough in a circle of 3-4 millimeters of hightness and cut it in 6 triangles.
Take one triangle of dough and
pull on the corners of the shortest edge to even up the base of the triangle, then stretch the dough a little.
Cut a small slit in the base of the triangle, stretch it and rool the dough up.
Repeate with the rest of triangles and put them in the oven for 15-20 minutes to 180•.

For the homemade natural jam:
3 plums
2 spoons of brown sugar
Juice and bark of 1 lemon
2 spoon of water

Cut the plums into pieces and cook it mashing up untill they became a cream. (15 minutes needed)

Porridge’s season starts now.

In the first time of my vegan diet I was very skeptic about porridge, it seemed to be an unflavour mash of oat, soggy and floury.
Then one day curio won, and I tried it: a big, enourmous mistake!
I became porridge addicted! 😁

Well, after a short summer’s pause, September started and oatmeal’s season did the same; so today I could have my big bowl of oat, full of a lot of amazing things.

I usually cook my porridge bowl with:
50 gr of oat flakes
20 gr of oat bran
Rice milk
Cinnamon
Bark of a lemon

I mix all the ingredients and cooks it for a few minutes, when it is curded I put it into a large bowl (I’m always starving in the early morning) and add the other stuff.
This time i’ve add: grated apples, cinnamon, dark chocolate, lemon, chia seeds, banana, strawberries jam, dried coconuts and blueberries.
