Hello my lovelies,
on Monday i turned 24 (didn't manage to publish a novel by 23 unfortunately, but oh well), on Sunday i held a small family get-together and an "un-birthday" buffet. Completely vegan of course.
The buffet, which was homemade - mostly by my boyfriend and me - , consisted of an Asian Pumpkin Soup, Millet Avocado Bean Tofu Salad, Chickpea Tofu Salad, Dark Chocolate Zucchini Brownies + one Pear Cinnamon Cake not pictured above, and condiments such as baguette, hummus, pumpkin hummus and homemade herb butter (the only non-vegan part of our buffet). EVERYTHING except for half the herb butter was gone after three hours!
Here are some buffet impressions and ingredients:

This is one of the things that my boyfriend and i took with us on our hiking trip back in April, and i've made this recipe several times now, so i really wanted to share it with you! It's free of gluten, dairy, refined sugar and even free of nuts, if you like. This is a true "lembas" bread (lord of the rings reference) because it is dense, filling, and a bit on the dry side. To make it more moist, add more bananas or less flour, or use ground nuts instead of any flour.
The trick is to use only the ripest bananas you can find. Once the skins start to develop freckles and the fruits are just a little too soft for pleasurable snacking, then it's banana bread time. Letting your bananas ripen even longer - until the skins are brown and the fruit falls apart when you peel it - will make your bread even more strongly banana-flavoured and richer.

This is the other bread/cake that we brought along on our hiking trip through the highest mountains of Northern Germany (as well as our weekend trip to Rügen Island). Such perfect provisions for a journey! I like the one-bowl simplicity of this recipe, and i love love love the outcome. So nice and moist and juicy and satisfying.

I love chocolate.
Can relate? Well, welcome to the club of the ever-cursed "hate it and love it but can't stop it".
Also, if you have taken a closer look at my blog, you will not that I love ice cream. It's no secret that i even ate nicecream for breakfast every day for a while.
You can imagine that combining chocolate and ice cream into one gorgeous breakfast meal was perfection for me, all vegan of course :)
This is not exactly "healthy", and i do try to stay away from chocolate or make my own chocolate creations using dates and cocoa powder (check out my Chocolate Pudding or my Dark Chocolate Brownies or my Double Chocolate Ice Cream), but sometimes i just need a piece of real chocolate to melt on my tongue and make my brain produce the happiness hormone serotonin.
The chocolate i'm using for this recipe is from a brand i recently discovered, called iChoc White Vanilla, which sell vegan organic chocolates in at least four flavours which i've tried all of them.

Ingredients
3 large ripe bananas, peeled, chopped and frozen
around 1/2 bar (50g) vegan white chocolate, chopped
content of 1 bag of vanilla green tea OR 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
dash of soy milk or almond milk (optional)
chocolate chunks and buckwheat groats to garnish
also:
- a high-speed blender or food processor (NO NEED FOR AN ICE CREAM MAKER!)
Instructions
Way too simple to resist: Throw your frozen banana pieces into a high-speed blender or food processor (i always use the latter), and blend. Add a dash of water or plant milk to get the blender running. Then add the chocolate pieces and blend some more. Lastly, add the content of one bag of vanilla green tea - or simply vanilla extract. Blend once more, spoon into a bowl and dig in!

These blondies were made in my PJs.
I don't know if this says something about the sluttishness of these "dirty blondies" *, but I definitely recommend rocking the kitchen in your jammies while singing along to These Boots Are Made For Walkin' by Nancy Sinatra. Great song. Which will hopefully inspire you to create some greatness yourself as you are prancing through the kitchen, holding your spatula like a microphone.
