5 reasons for which AUTUMN is an awesome season for vegetarians

I know a lot of people that just hate autumn. They don’t like it less than summer, or less than spring, they actually hate it…and they are pretty serious about it. 😀 I might get in trouble for even suggesting that there could be another side of the coin. 😀 Autumn announces the entering of the cold weather and the end of sunny and bright days… and if you look it that way, it’s indeed depressing. But wait just a second before judging it. Let’s watch it from another perspective. What if I told you that autumn can be (and it is) an awesome season? And no, I am not crazy, and yes, I do love summer, I actually love

Let’s talk GLUTEN

Almost in every food store you enter you find at least 1 product which is labelled as gluten free. This is a trend that I saw since 3-4 years ago. At the beginning I wasn’t familiar at all with the “gluten free” subject, but as time passed by, I educated myself a little bit and most important, I watched myself and I learned from my own experience. I cannot emphasize enough how important is to learn from your own experience, even though the experience of others might seem legit, we are all different and we perceive things differently.

CHERRIES – May’s medicine

I have been waiting for May every day of my life and when it’s finally here, I live each day with joy delighting my senses with the distinctive taste of cherries. I dream of cherries all year long. Between me and you, in May… I live for cherries; and I believe that cherries live for me and for you also. They are sweet, juicy, colorful, full of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, as if they are drawn from a children’s story with rosy cheeks. What else can you wish for?!… A delight for the body, mind… and soul, because cherries bring to me a lot of joy. I have not met anyone who does not eat cherries, nor would I like

CHOOSING INSPIRATION INSTEAD OF PERFECTION

CHOOSING INSPIRATION INSTEAD OF PERFECTION I used to have a really bad relationship with food, as a child and then as a teenager. Until the 2nd year of university I never questioned my food choices and especially never realized that perhaps I was eating too much, or too often, or maybe at the wrong hours, too spicy or too salty or even to fatty, etc. It simply didn’t cross my mind that my way of interacting with food was so far from what is naturally intended for us humans. When I was a little girl I was very much in love with my dad and… fried potatoes. Believe it or not, I was obsessed with potatoes, in any way
