Ahh guys, I don’t know why or how come but I’m totally into making condiments at the moment! I guess it is because I’m back at uni now, and I have to plan my meals a bit more – hence the super portable (and delicious!!) grain salad from last week.

Although making your own jam, pesto or pasta sauce takes a little more time than just buying it in the store, it really is worth the extra effort if you take into account the amazing flavor and cheaper price of home-made goods!

So, this Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is the newest addition to my condiment stuffed fridge haha, but I don’t mind! It is so delicious!! When you roast red peppers, they get this really amazing sweet and sultry flavor and texture, which is just simply wonderful. For this recipe I roasted my own peppers, as I had the time and it is cheaper, but if you’re short on time you can of course use store-bought roasted red peppers, just make sure to use a little less oil.

I’m not gonna spend a lot of time talking about this salad, because it just simply is amazing, and you have to try it too!! You’ll love it ☺

For the last couple of weeks, salads based on grains like these have been my lunch staple, as they are:
1. Portable
2. Grab-and-go
3. Delicious
4. Make-ahead
5. Filling
6. Customizable
7. Gluten-free (or not, if you want to!)
etcetera etcetera.

I could compile a whole list, of why exactly I love grain based “salads” like these so much. I say “salads” because in my pre-grain based salad mind, a salad is something super boring, with an iceberg lettuce base, some watery cucumbers and tomatoes on top, and if you were lucky you might get some mushy croutons.

Yeah… That doesn’t really gets me excited for food. Buuut, this salad is completely different! There is no iceberg lettuce involved, no watery cucumber and definitely no mushy croutons. I was actually thinking about not calling this a salad, but then, what would it be? Thesaurus describes it as a dish of vegetables, and the synonyms are: potato salad; coleslaw; greens; fruit salad; mixed greens; tossed salad; and Waldorf salad. Not really much to work with right?! So for now I’ll just stay with salad, just know that this is a special salad 😉

Avocado Boats with Eggs and Creamy Pesto

Do you remember that Creamy Pesto with Walnuts and Spinach?

Yes, that extremely delicious, full-of-goodness one 😍

Well, I made a little something special to go with it! Because we all know that the possibilities with pesto are basically endless, but sometimes you just need a little extra convincing to actually make a condiment recipe – I think Lindsay from Pinch of Yum expresses it perfectly here. So, that is why I created these Avocado Boats with Eggs and Creamy Pesto – okay partly, but we’ll get back to that!

Back to the important things in life… Breakfast! Aren’t these avo boats gorgeous?! I can imagine they would be a total show stopper at a family brunch or a luxurious breakfast.

I would like to introduce you all to the most AMAZING vegan pesto ever 💚

I swear, this pesto is way better than all the “normal”, non-vegan, processed pesto’s I’ve ever had, and it is might very well be the easiest recipe on my blog… Although this two ingredient raspberry jam is also super quick and easy.

Spicy Pumpkin Soup

Happy soup season everyone! 💕

The weather here in the Netherlands has been horrible to say the least for the last couple days, and those grey-ish days always make me want to crawl into bed with a good cuppa soup and a good book or my current fave series.

Yes, imagine that… Aaahhh now I want to get back into bed!

Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade with Lime, Mint, Vanilla and Ginger

Rhubarb is one of those veggies that you almost can’t call a vegetable in the classical eggplant-cucumber-peas kind of way. It’s flavor is too sour and sweet, and it just contains too much liquid to be cooked like normal vegetables.

But… I love it nevertheless! ❤️

I think strawberry rhubarb crumble is one of the most delicious desserts you can have, and a simple rhubarb compote served with some yoghurt makes a great breakfast. Unfortunately though, other than using it for dessert or breakfast, rhubarb is not very versatile.

Two Ingredient Raspberry Jam

To be honest, I’ve never liked chia pudding.

To be really honest, I absolutely and totally hate them.

That weird, slimy texture, and those tiny crunchy balls… Nope, those puddings are not meant for me. Maybe I’ve just never made it the right way, or maybe it’s just that my tastebuds are weird, but I guess I’ll just have to live with it haha.

However, after all my downright horrible chia pudding experiments, I was still left with a whole bag of chia seeds. Of course they can be used as an egg replacer, in smoothies and to thicken things in general, but with my 500 gram (yes, 500 gram chia seeds – I don’t know what I was thinking when I ordered them at iHerb) I really needed some other purposes for them to finish them before the expiration date.
