Hey there, earthlings :)

Today is Earth Day (so Happy Earthday i guess, haha!), and in honour of that i will plant a tree today - and also because it's part of my Day Zero Project, task 8 being to "Plant a windowsill herb garden", task 13 being to "Plant tomatoes and or other fruit and vegetables" and task 75 being to "Plant a tree on Earth Day". So why not kill two (or actually three) birds with one stone!

Also, i want to show you 3 different ways of "home gardening" that i did and that you can do too!

1) Planting Herbs

Quick 3-ingredient ice cream without ice cream maker

Preparation time: 5 mins + 3 hours freezing time
Main ingredients: banana, walnuts, honey/agave
difficulty level: easy, fool-proof
serves: 1-2
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, paleo, raw food, and delicious "even so"

This must be my most recent ice cream favourite! This must also be one of the creamiest whipped up nicecreams (nana ice creams) i've ever made! And the only ingredients are banana, walnut and honey (or agave syrup to keep it vegan). So simple! And so good.

This carrot cake recipe is super fluffy (even though it does not contain any eggs), sweet, but not too sweet, and above all super simple to make. 

The credit for this goes to my sweet tooth boyfriend though ;)

Quick ice cream without ice cream maker

Preparation time: 5 mins + 3 hours freezing time
Main ingredients: banana, cacao, chili
difficulty level: easy
serves: 1
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, raw food, and delicious "even so"

Hello dear,

yes it's March and i'm currently freezing, but i am so glad that i made this for breakfast because the combination of chocolate and chili is just amazingly delicious. 

Also, the warming spices help with getting your inner fire going (intentionally ambiguous ;), so there's really no reason not to enjoy this ice cream even though it's below zero outside.

Sooo... we had some fresh coconut meat left over, and some friends coming over for breakfast, so we decided to whip up some improvised pancakes that turned out to be pretty yummy and not too coconut-y at all! Can be served with sweet or savory spreads.

We also made some Homemade Oven Baked Olive Bread - recipe below!

- 1 classic recipe + 15 variations - 

Preparation time: 15 mins
Main ingredients: oats, non-dairy milk, banana
difficulty level: easy
serves: 1
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and delicious "even so"

Porridge. 
Most people find it boring and bland but i promise it's not if you cook it right.

Unfortunately, my love of brownies and sweet things does not fit with my fear of turning heads at the pool for all the wrong reasons.  

However, I was lucky enough to come across the vegan, gluten-free, low fat lifestyle, meaning that I get to eat brownies that won't require a tent as a bathing suit cover-up {unless I eat the entire pan, which is VERY much a possibility} because they are absolutely fat-free (except for the glazing but that's optional) and made with sweet potato! Sweet, eh? :)

Preparation time: 25 mins
Main ingredients: rice, coconut, pineapple, curry
difficulty level: easy
serves: 2-4
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and delicious "even so"

Yep, another Curry recipe. I just love anything to do with Asian stir-fry, rice, curry and spicyness. 

Also, my boyfriend and i had lunch at a vegan-friendly restaurant thingy in my hometown. I had the vegan Green Thai Curry which tastes amazing even after the third time ordering the same dish (and the rice is sooo fluffy...!), but to be honest i think presentation-wise we almost did a better job with our homemade curries, both this one as well as the beautiful colourful Curry Coconut Rice Stir-Fry from last week :) 

But see for yourself.

Preparation time: 30 mins
Main ingredients: rice, coconut, tomato, turmeric
difficulty level: easy
serves: 4
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and delicious "even so"

This awesome rice recipe was created not just by me, but mainly by my beautiful boyfriend who will stay anonymous here but who named the Curry Coconut Rice Stir-Fry "à la Fredo" ;)

Rice (formed into a little hill by using a round ice cream jug) with coconut curry veggie stir fry (carrots, red bell pepper, red onion, chickpeas, scallions, ginger, coconut milk and some herbs and spices).
