Hello dear friends and loving souls out there! I am happy I got some time over to share some easy, simple dinner tips with you today!
We are having a lazy day in Stockholm today with my family and as you can expect from a food blogger, I made some blueberry pancakes with whipped coconut cream and warm blueberry jam for us all in the morning. It was heavenly! I didn't make any picture of them though, even a food blogger need some rest from taking pictures sometimes, but I can share this older picture from some other pancakes I made a while ago.
These pancakes below are with homemade jam and melted chocolate, very delicious:
Anyway, today I am not going to write so much about pancakes (I am writing out of inspiring, not after an actual plan), but I wanted to share some dinner tips, so let's start!
Easy legume pasta filled with nutrients and protein.
Pasta or brown rice:
Most of us are huge pasta lovers and so am I! But when you want to reduce your gluten intake, can you eat pasta?
A while ago, me and my boyfriend decided to no longer buy normal whole grain pasta that we were used to, but decided to only buy and eat pasta made of legumes, such as lentils, chickpeas or beans. We have also tried edamame pasta and liked it. But our favourite is probably pasta made of green or red lentils.
The great thing about pasta made of legumes, is the fact that it contains a great amount of proteins and nutrients that our body needs on a daily basis.
So what I use to do when I need a simple healthy meal, is that I cook the pasta and meanwhile fry some veggies as mushrooms, carrots, celery and onion (or what ever I have in home), and add a splash of plantbased milk or coconut cream to it, and of course some spices as curry or simple salt and pepper.
I mix the pasta with the fried veggie sauce in a bowl and together with some raw onion and salad we have the easiest meal that fills us with all we need.
To eat raw onions with cooked food is my secret tips for a healthy body. Raw onion keeps you away from illness and really boost your immune system.
We also add sauerkraut to most of our meals for the vitamins, and somewhere I have read that sauerkraut also contains B12 vitamins.
My little boy loves legume pasta and when he eats it I can be sure he gets most of the nutrients he needs.
I make these kind of simple meals a lot as I don't have a lot of time to prepare meals.
Here is a similar meal with brown rice: 
I hope you have enjoyed my photography and dinner tips for busy people.
Now it's time for me to turn off my phone and have some offline time.😉
Love you all!💗
Cheers! 💃
Visit my blog for many sweet dessert and healthy breakfast recipes!💗
I always appreciate tipps for dinner! Even tho I have so many recipes sometimes I just don't have a clue what I want to eat!
Haha I know that feeling! That's somehow funny isn't it! I also love to get inspired by others when it comes to cooking and baking! 👌😉
Some people think eating vegan is so hard, but they use it as an excuse lol. Thank you for helping to show people that it's not so hard. I'm also trying to do the same with my "Easy Vegan Meals" series. 😊
Have to check it out! Love to inspire people to eat healthier and to show them how simple it can be! We dont need all that meat-replacement products that are out there, we get everything we need from a plantbased diet based on wholewoods.;)
I agree! 😊
I haven't tried pasta made from lentils before, only rice noodles. I'll give the lentil pasta a try.
I agree, sometimes as a food blogger you need to take a break from taking photos 📸 It can be a long process 😂
Where can I find a recipe for your blueberry jam? I have been craving some jam for a while now, but the store bought ones are so unhealthy! 😢
Enjoy your time offline! I need some of that too.
Oh you can make your own blueberry jam simply by cooking 1 cup wild blueberries, adding a splash of water or lemon juice if necessary and after 10 minutes blend it. If you need a thicker texture, simply blend the cooked blueberries with 1 tbsp chia seeds. Than your jam is ready! I normaly dont add any sweetener, only vanilla sometimes. But you can add sweetener if you like to have it sweeter:)
I haven't really found a non-gluten pasta that I've liked. We tried the red lentil pasta but I find it to be a little hard. Not sure if I didn't cook it proparly but we rarely eat pasta =). We eat a lot of brown rice though :) So yummy :)
Love brown rice! You can try to cook the lentil pasta a little longer and than mix it with a yummy tomato or vegan cheese sauce!
Yeah I need to try =) Made a vegan mac and cheese yesterday so next time I will definetly try to make it with a red lentil pasta instead :)
Omg your food looks absolutely incredible 😍😍✨ Thanks for sharing some new ideas with us!
Always a pleasure Nina!;)
I love the bean-based pastas, too! So easy to transform any way you like. I did the edamame pasta again this week and posted the recipe, but I think the red lentil and chickpea ones are my favorite. :)
Yeaa they taste very good! Love to discover new legume pastas!
Following you! I give you a vote!
