Chocolate Nut Butter Balls
The other day I made this delicious triple nut butter from scratch, and ever since I have been craving chocolate nut butter balls! This confection is the perfect mid-week pick-me-up. Although dangerous, I enjoy having a bowl of them in my refrigerator to grab when I need to indulge! I stopped buying store-bought peanut butter cups at the store a long time ago, and started making my own version at home since it is so easy and there aren’t any yucky preservatives. Instead of making cups, I just dip frozen rolled up nut butter in chocolate to keep things simple. I use my homemade triple nut butter which has almonds,…

Garlic Ginger Tofu Stir Fry
Some days I feel like cooking something simple and healthy with a lot of veggies. This garlic ginger tofu stir fry is the perfect quick, easy, healthy weeknight meal. While I prepared the garlic ginger sauce in my Thermomix®, I sautéd the vegetables in my skillet and cooked some brown rice in another pot. To make this dish even faster, you can precook the veggies and rice ahead of time, during meal prep day, for example. When I decided to change my diet to a more plant-based diet, I started eating tofu at least once a week for my protein source. I am still finding new ways to enjoy it…

Everyday Whole Wheat Walnut Bread
Like many others at home these days during the pandemic, I have been baking a lot of my own bread loaves at home. I have tried baking my own bread in the past, but it always came out very different than the bread I could buy at the store with much less effort. After I got my Thermomix®, I suddenly found my passion for baking homemade bread again using the guided bread recipes on Cookidoo® recipe database that have been tested and pretty much fool proof. It is so satisfying to get a delicious result! A few months ago, my mother-in-law was visiting and she showed me one of her…

Banana Açaí Bowl
I used to make smoothie bowls before to boost my immune system and make sure I was eating enough fruits and or vegetables. Now I make them to not only boost my immune system, but also my energy levels! Having everyone at home these days has been a little exhausting, since our days are now very busy and the nights are still rough with a 5 month old not sleeping through the night. I feel so much better when I make on of these açaí bowls! You can find frozen açaí packets in the freezer section of your grocery store. I blend them with bananas, or any other frozen fruit.…
