    Raw vegan kale crisps with a cheesy twist

    We all know that kale is the true king of leafy greens – packed with iron, folate, and chlorophyll. It supports fertility, helps regulate hormones, and strengthens the body both during pregnancy and when trying to conceive. But let’s be honest – in the fall, the craving for green smoothies disappears like leaves from the trees. That’s why I found another way to get my chlorophyll fix – kale chips. Kale chips are raw, crunchy, and have a slightly cheesy taste (without a single gram of cheese). They’re made from simple ingredients – vegetables, nuts, and a bit of nutritional yeast (not to be confused with active dry yeast). Dried…

    Homemade Jelly Babies with Honey and Vitamin C

    One of the simplest ways to incorporate vitamin C into your child’s diet is through vitamin gummies. Unfortunately, finding gummies that don’t contain glucose syrup, large amounts of sugar, or artificial flavorings can be quite a challenge. Even if you manage to find gummies sweetened with maltitol (not perfect, but better), kids often want to eat the whole package at once, and that can be quite expensive. That’s why today I’m sharing a simple recipe for homemade vitamin C gummies that you can make together with your kids. Not only is this a healthy alternative, but it’s also a fun activity – kids will love popping the gummies out of…

    Make Your Own Mayonnaise: A Healthier and Yummier Choice

    Why make homemade mayonnaise when you can buy ready-made? That’s a good question. Today, stores offer a huge variety of mayonnaises – even organic versions, ones with olive oil, or without preservatives. If you use mayonnaise only occasionally, an occasional store-bought portion probably won’t harm you. But if you like mayonnaise and use it regularly – or would like to, but have doubts about its health effects – read this post till the end. Mayonnaise is basically a very simple product: oil, egg, mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice. The problem is that 99% of store-bought mayonnaises use refined oils such as rapeseed (canola) or sunflower oil. While cold-pressed sunflower…

    If you’re looking for a plant-based milk that not only tastes amazing but also genuinely supports your health – you absolutely have to try homemade cashew milk. It’s my all-time favourite among all plant-based drinks. Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but it’s also natural, nourishing, and far superior to most store-bought alternatives.

    Healthy Low-Carb Orange Cake – Gluten-Free & Delicious!

    I first came across this cake during a family gathering at my husband’s relatives’ house in London. My brother-in-law made it using a recipe published in The Guardian, written by Claudia Roden. The cake was served warm, straight from the oven – with fresh blueberries and raspberries. It was truly heavenly! I remember eating three slices and would have gladly gone for more, if I hadn’t started to feel a bit embarrassed. The cake was slightly moist, incredibly fragrant, and very filling. When we got back home, my brother-in-law sent me the recipe. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the exact same recipe was printed… on the back of…

    Baked Paleo Nut Bars (Low Carb)

    I love nutty bars from the shop – I really do. I love how crunchy they are, how satisfying they feel… but let’s be honest – they’re usually packed with sugar, glucose syrup, and a bunch of ingredients I can’t even pronounce. Not to mention, they’re pretty expensive for what they are. But what if I told you that you could make your own version at home – just as delicious (maybe even better), using real, wholesome ingredients, with way less sugar and actually good for you? Are Homemade Nut Bars Worth It? You might be thinking, “Wow, these ingredients—nuts, maple syrup—are quite expensive. Is it even worth making these…

    The Healthiest and Crispiest Granola — Sugar-Free, with Raw Nuts!

    When spring begins, many of us crave yogurt with fruit and crunchy granola. Ah, it’s so delicious!My husband often buys regular granola from the store, and of course, the kids, seeing what he’s eating, want the same. I’ve tried my best to discourage them from this treat, explaining that it contains a lot of sugar, which harms health and damages teeth — but little kids don’t really care about that. They want to eat what’s sweet, crunchy, and tasty… just like dad. o sweeten the granola, I used maple syrup — not only does it have a low glycemic index, but it also gives the perfect crunch. I don’t recommend…
