    Minty oat milk sounds so fresh on a hot summer day. I chose mint for this recipe because it gives us the freshness we need on hot summer days.  Since oat milk thickens when heated, I prefer to let the mint leaves steep for a few hours or overnight so their oils can infuse into the milk. Crush the mint leaves by hand, pour over the oat milk, and let steep.  When it comes to using oat milk, my favorite recipes are smoothies and yummy drinks with...

What's the story behind this Fried Quinoa and Veggie bowl?   "The greatest wealth is health," - said Virgil, the Roman poet, more than 2000 years ago. This famous quote shows so much truth because we can achieve everything in life if we keep our health. Money is also essential, but how can we enjoy our lives and live to the fullest if our health is poor? Sometimes we take our health for granted, which is not the right approach. Healthy eating and an active lifestyle are the...

    These Healthy Chocolate Energy Bars and my Vegan Lemon Energy Bars are my favorite on-the-go snack. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats and have a creamy vegan chocolate filling.  Years ago, I suffered from endometriosis. My road to recovery was through nutrition and quality supplements. At the time, I found that every time I ate cakes made with refined sugar and flour, it triggered the inflammation in my body and flared up the endometriosis.  Since I have a sweet tooth and know how addictive and...

  I made a quiche without a crust to cut down on carbohydrates.   Even though this dish contained dairy, I was very picky. So I chose the best, keeping in mind that my endometriosis flares up when I eat dairy. The best means organic dairy products or goat dairy products when possible. With those choices, I can often indulge in yogurt and cheese without causing inflammation in my body.   This crustless quiche is part of my meatless menu. I am not vegan, but I try to replace meat...

  A healthy gut and liver are crucial for hormone balance   There comes a time when we need to take care of our hormones more than usual and pay attention to what we put on our plates. For most women, this is when hormone-related health issues suddenly appear out of nowhere. For me, this moment began years ago when terrible endometriosis turned my life upside down. Over those years, I have understood that what you put on your plate is critical to your hormone balance and overall health....

  Almost 13 years ago, I decided to adopt a healthy lifestyle to look and feel better. Changing your eating habits makes all the difference. It is healing and brings so much joy to your inner self.  Why is this delicious herring spread good for you? I prepare this herring spread at least every two weeks, mainly because of its high content of omega-3 fatty acids. It is also an excellent source of lean protein and vitamin D. I used canned herring, but it works wonderfully with canned...

    These no-bake lemon energy bars are my favorite on-the-go snack. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats with a creamy vegan lemon filling. Since the coffee cake is a standard at my house, these lemony bites are my absolute favorite, especially in the summer, because they are so fresh. My lemon energy bars combine dates, favorite seeds, desiccated coconut, and other healthy ingredients for a nutritious snack.    Why do I love these healthy no-bake lemon energy bars? I usually prepare them on the weekend and enjoy them...

   What is Tabbouleh?   Originally from Lebanon and Syria, Tabbouleh is one of the most popular salads in the Middle East. Thinking of the original recipe, I can describe Tabbouleh as a super fresh and nutritious salad made with bulgur and whose main ingredient is parsley. Cucumber and tomato slices are part of the tabbouleh salad with simple olive oil and lemon dressing. Tabbouleh is my favorite salad in the summer because it is easy to prepare, inexpensive, refreshing, light, and contains many nutrients. I always make sure to grow...

  These vegan broccoli quinoa patties are great for anyone committed to a healthy lifestyle. Although I am not vegan, I love them - easy to prepare, delicious, and nutritious - and they go amazingly well with a good soy sauce or garlicky yogurt and a generous salad on the side. Since I started my healthy journey, reducing the amount of meat in my diet has been my top priority. As a result, I play with my favorite healthy ingredients to create delicious vegan meals. I do not particularly...
