I’m totally in love with Matcha Green Tea. I could add it to any kind of meal I’m creating at the moment. The slightly bitter and well balanced herbal taste is very delicious and I will soon try to add it even in savory dishes. This time it was girl’s night again and I created a completely carb-free, sugar-free, vegan, and very healthy dessert recipe. Because chia seeds and coconut flakes are also part of it, we came up with the fun name of “Matchicoco”.
The sun is shining and it’s finally getting warmer in the mornings when leaving the house to bring the kids to school. I really need sunshine in my life and our weeks of sunshine in Luxembourg are very limited. Well, every time the glowing planet shows itself we’re out and about. Off course, on those days you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen preparing food. This salad is a flavor explosion and the perfect quick fresh summer starter. It’s a creamy, crunchy, spicy seafood combination, all in one dish.
Since we adjusted our diet to eat fewer carbs, I started using cauliflower more regularly in different ways, especially as a side dish. This cauliflower puree is a delicious side alongside any kind of fish or meat, for example, with Filled Meatballs in Tomato Gravy or Fillet of Beef on Mushroom Sauce. It’s a delicious and healthy carb-free alternative to mashed potato because the texture is similar and the taste is even more refined with the fine milky and almost nutty flavors of the cauliflower. Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6, so not only delicious, but also very healthy!
In the mornings we often enjoy smoothies because they are a quick and healthy start to the day. Here I combined Asian flavors of Matcha (Green Tea) and coconut to create a nice creamy and slightly herbal taste experience. This Matcha-Coconut-Almond Smoothie was inspired by the popular Matcha Latte, though I wanted to create something richer and creamier that includes the very healthy and uniquely tasting Matcha. I could drink this daily, it’s so delicious!
During our recent trip to Florida, we have been asking people about the most well known Florida recipe. With hardly any exception, everyone pointed us to the delicious Key Lime Pie, made with fresh little limes from the Florida Keys. With this in mind, I started creating a version of a carb-free tropical Key Lime Cheesecake – and yes, without any sugar or carbs! I hope you find it as delicious as we did.
