5 min. beetroot carpaccio with basil pesto and cat whisper

Beetroot is my absolutely new superfood in my kitchen. Before I share a carpaccio recipe with you I like to tell you a little cat story and show you some cat pictures. Especially from our cute Karlo.

A wonderful little cat Story

I read the lovely story from two little kitties last week (check this post for more information) and I decided to share a little story from Karlo and some pictures from my cats as well on my blog because they are a big part of my life. And I’m sure lots of you are cat lovers too. I’m a cat lover since I was a little girl. My first cat came into my life when I was 7 years old and he was a friend during my school time until I finished my trainee program. After his passing when I was 22 I don’t want a cat that fast again. Too much pain.

6 years without a cat

So I lived 6 years without an animal around me. Only my hubby and my brother were around me every day. What was good and I don’t want to miss this time. But I often thought about having a cat again.

When I was 28 we got our Hank (found in a bush with 5 weeks), 1 year later we meet Tom in an animal center and we decided to bring him home to us as well. The “family” was complete and we decided two cats are enough. Fortunately we moved in a house in 2011 and on a romantic dinner time one night we looked out of the terrace door and saw a little red cat starring at us. We became totally nervous because our plan was never got a third cat into our home.

Hank >>

Come in

But we opened the door and the little red cat came in. Confident. Curious and too cute!
(my sneaking desire was to have a red cat one time)

That was the day we meet Karlo, our crazy little red male cat! He makes funny thing all day long and get crazy when he saw one of our other cats. He jump at Tom as soon as he came into the room and plays with my kitchen tools whenever I don’t observe him. Karlo is a really special cat. I don’t know if the red cats are always special but he definitely is. He is open-minded and always curious whatever we are doing. He talk with us when he came in or when he go out and he is so friendly to everybody who visit us.

After this short cat story I want to share my latest favorite recipe (I know all recipes are favorites, haha).

But that color! That wide range of health benefits and this sweet earthy taste!
Beetroots are really one of the healthiest food you can eat!

Since I created my Healthy Beetroot Sandwich with smoked Tofu I stock beets in my fridge constantly. I already grilled them and served them with mashed potatoes or simple make a beetroot carpaccio with basil pesto. This carpaccio is made within minutes and the perfect snack, lunch or easy dinner when you enjoy it with some fresh baked bread.

 

I normally use cooked beetroots because they are still full of health benefits. Beets have a wide range of health benefits. These little roots contains vitamins, minerals and compounds like carotenoids, magnesium, iron and copper. They are very low in calories, with no cholesterol, but they do have the highest sugar content of all vegetables. That’s the reason why they are so sweet.

The combination from sweet beetroots, feta cheese and the aromatic basil pesto is really special.

Autumnal butternut pumpkin soup with spicy honey sprinkle

The Autumn is still present here in Germany and I decided to complete my plan to write a post about my butternut pumpkin soup. It was my first time I tried out this amazing sort of pumpkin which is so pretty and decorative, photogenic and healthy. Have you ever cooked a pumpkin? It was really heart to damage this beautiful pumpkin.

I hold one butternut pumpkin for my pictures because the natural color and the form is perfect as a prop in my food picture.

Do you use dairy products?

Pumpkins are wonderful to use in the kitchen. They have less calories! In that case I add some whipped cream for this soup to make it more creamy. LOL. I only use organic dairy products because I don’t want to support the animal abuse. I try to buy the highest organic label I can get. I don’t eat lots of dairy products. Normally I prefer plant milk or chia seeds as egg replacer. But sometimes I like to use them as well.

What is about you? Are you using dairy products? Or are you full vegan?

I watched a in German movie about harmful additives in food products. I’m really angry who the industry hoax us. We need to check carefully what’s inside the products we buy in our stores. Sometimes harmful additives are not shown really carefully. I bought my first vegetable broth without any additives in an organic store last days and can’t be more happy to found it.

In this case this soup is free from any harmful additives and industrial sugar. Please take care of the pepper in the soup because the sprinkle already contains a lot of crushed red pepper.

10 minutes mushroom ragout with oven-baked yeast buns

Welcome Autumn! Who isn’t thinking of mushrooms?

Some of you can understand my joy and enthusiasm for this really special season. I was born in Novemer when the leaves falls down and the light is magical. I love forest walks and cooking warm stews as well as light candles when we have dinner. It is a magical time.

My hubby felt totally in love with mushrooms. And I? I love to cook simple meals during the week to have a good meal on hand at my lunch time as well as cooking simple meals at the weekend to spend more time with my hubby, friends, family and my cats. Sometimes I spend more time in my kitchen but at the moment I feel a bit empty and I enjoy cooking some easier stuff. This ragout is made within 10 min. You only need to let the dough prove for the oven-baked yeast buns. If you don’t want to spend time with these buns you can easily eat this ragout with pasta or rice.

I highly recommend to use the bay leaves because they add a heavenly taste. Bay leaves are full of flavor and they are often used in the kitchen.

20161009-10-min-mushroom-ragout-with-oven-baked-yeast-buns-2-1-von-1

Enjoy vegetarian

This mushroom recipe isn’t vegan and I don’t recommend any vegan changing because I didn’t cooked a vegan version of this meal. I use butter in this recipe. I really love butter. I often use coconut oil instead. It is much more healthy and also delicious in many meals. But I need the butter flavor in these buns and in the ragout as well. My hubby and I eat a mix of vegan and vegetarian and we are very happy with this kind of life. We both don’t want to “hurt” animals. I am sure a vegan diet is the best to protect animals but I am not on the point I can change my diet completely so I doesn’t. Changing need to be happen free from stress. It need to be happen from the inside. Maybe the time will come or not. We will see.

Special humans can change the world!

In someone’s eyes people who fight for their considered opinion are too extremely. But I think the world need people like this to open eyes and hearts. People who fight for their visions and ideas get hurt often but they don’t stop fighting. And the win fights! I am not that kind of person. I don’t have the energy to speak loud and use my voice. My idea is to share my way to life on this blog and Instagram. But there are some others out there who have a louder voice than me. One person is James.

I’m following this inspiring soul on Instagram for a while. You find him here: Instagram: @jamesaspey & http://www.jamesaspey.com.au. He was diagnosed with leukaemia when he was 17 and he changed his life and he “speaks loud”. Loud about animal suffer. To be honest. Anybody needs to do this. That‘s the way people start to think about their life and their diet. Like me. I read an article from PETA and became a vegetarian in 2009. One of the best decisions I ever made.

But no matter if you a non-vegetarian, vegetarian or vegan. You can only make your own change. Whatever you want! You need to feel good with your own decisions.

20160828 Eggplant Pita Carnival 1 (1 von 1)

Back to this easy delicious pita with eggplant gyros!

They are definitely one of our newest favorites! You can release the flavors by grilling the eggplants really easy. Eggplants are bitter. A great tip to reduce the bitterness is to soak them with salt for 10 minutes. You simple need at least a half tablespoon of salt for every medium sized eggplant. Drain and rinse them after 10 minutes. The salt will help to draw the bitter liquid out from the eggplant. It also helps the eggplant pieces stay more shapely and become tender during cooking instead of becoming soggy. The iron and calcium in eggplant supply the essential nutrients required by the body.

Here you go!

Healthy Beetroot Sandwich with smoked Tofu

Who don’t love to eat a sandwich? I never made lots of sandwiches in the past because I don’t know how to prepare them. But life is learning right? So I tried out my own Sandwich Version and it worked well as you can see in the picture. Really proud. Haha. I love to combine different colors and ingredients. Soft ones, crunchy ones, warm and cold ones.

Who didn’t get mouthwatering by starring at a sandwich like this? I searched for an alternative for hot summer days. Normally I enjoy salads like this one from my friend Tracy: Broccolie Slaw. But sometimes I need another idea instead of eating salad all day long. Burger are also a classic and nice summer meal idea. For example my Mr. and Mrs. Chickpea Burger.

Tofu on a Sandwich

I love to use Tofu in my kitchen since a few months. I already learned that preparing tofu right isn’t a wonder and its really tasty when you know how to prepare it. You can use the smokes tofu cold or fry it to get a crunchy mode and a warm flavor. Take care of GOOD QUALIFIED TOFU. There is a big difference between the brands.

Vegan or Vegetarian

If you don’t want a vegan Sandwich you can simply switch the vegan mayonnaise in a vegetarian one. Or add some cheese. I was totally overwhelmed about the taste of vegan mayonnaise. Have you ever tried vegan mayonnaise? It don’t taste really different to normal mayonnaise.

This Sandwich is made with a light flavored red beet hummus which is made within seconds. I got this really nice inspiration from my friend Niki (www.rebelrecipes.com). You find the original recipe here: Beet Root Hummus. Because I have a garlic allergy I made my own one without garlic. Beet Root is a natural superfood which your body will love. Beets are full of potassium, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus and iron. Beets are also particularly beneficial to women whom are pregnant, as the vitamin B and iron are very beneficial to new growth cells during pregnancy and replenishing iron in the woman’s body.

Grated carrots and Red Cabbage is such a crisp benefit for this Sandwich. It’s the perfect balance between softness, crunchiness and the smoked flavor from the tofu.
I love to prepare the ingredients for this Sandwich in advance and make it IN TIME when I need it. You can store the ingredients up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Perfect for days you don’t have many time to cook. And you can eat the Sandwich whenever you want. It’s the perfect start in the morning as well as a great lunch or dinner.

Bread

The right Bread is really important for a Sandwich. Therefore I use a wheat whole grain bread which is fluffy and healthy as well. Don’t use a Bread which is too strong. Use one which is light and fluffy. One which have less seeds or nuts.

Soba (Buckwheat) Salad

Do you know the feeling when summer is coming? You feel good because of the sun and the light and you think about the kitchen possibilities you enjoy in the summer. Sandwiches, cold smoothies and soups and looooooot of salad variations.

I have been to the Maldives this year and enjoyed a traditional Japanese “Soba Salad”. Soba are ultra-healthy buckwheat noodles which are often used in the Japanese kitchen.
We have been in a Sushi restaurant and I have the pleasure to talk to the chef. He told me about the dressing he use for his Soba Salad.
I already ordered some organic Soba on the Maldives directly. I can’t wait!

So when I arrived home the noodles are waiting of me. Comfortable :o)
Great invention this internet. LOL.

Soba Salad (2)

Soba noodles are such a healthy option for wheat noodles. They are gluten free and full of Vitamin B1 and B2. They also contains more than 10% protein as well.
Take care of the quality you buy because there are many differences. I bought organic and I was satisfied directly. But I often heard about bad quality.
I rinse the cooked noodles very carefully until they get cold to make sure they have the right consistence.

It was a big highlight for me to find these noodles because I love wheat noodles and I don’t like spelt or whole grain noodles so much.
But these buckwheat ones are such a great option.

You can store this salad in the fridge for up to 3 days.
