Vegan Chocolate Pancakes – the perfect start to your day Well, vegan chocolate pancakes are actually always a good idea – not only for breakfast! The other day I made myself some after hiking and I can’t tell you how blown away I was. They are also super quick to prepare, you usually have all the ingredients at home, and they are always simply delicious. Also, you can easily vary their flavour by using a different flavour of cocoa. This time I chose “Rosas Mischung”, because it gives them a very pleasant spicy note with ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and Szechuan…

Nibble, nibble, gnaw… Since my vegan buffalo wings have gone down so well so far, I’ve realized how much I like crispy breaded food! Today, we have a new episode of Rosa’s breaded dishes: crispy tofu sticks with cornflakes coating! On one hand, these irresistibly delicious sticks are not only easy to prepare, but also a fantastic alternative to traditional fried snacks. Personally, I ate them for the first time in one of my favourite Munich restaurants. Actually, I was also able to infect my best friend with my cravings for them pretty quickly. All the better to be able…

Cacao meets banana – that’s all summer needs There is really only one thing you can eat in these warm summer temperatures: Ice cream! And all the better if you only need two ingredients: cacao and bananas! It is only important that you use ripe, already slightly brown bananas, so they not only have the desired consistency but also a pleasant sweetness. For a particularly chocolaty taste, simply use your favourite type of Dein Kakao (self-promotion) and you can easily vary the flavour. Depending on which cacao flavour you choose, you can conjure up different ice cream. That’s why I…

Protein-rich lentil pasta salad – super easy, quick and healthy Just lately, I’ve been asked more and more for recipes and tips on how to more easily meet your protein needs. In fact, protein is also often the macronutrient that, along with carbohydrates and fats, often gets a bit of a raw deal in the general diet. Mostly, this is because our favourite foods are often a combination of carbohydrates and fats: Pizza Margherita, pasta with pesto, bread with cheese, French fries… Lots of snacks also have either mainly carbohydrates like fruit or fats like nuts. Meeting your protein needs,…

Simple, homemade pea guacamole I have to admit that I used to love eating avocados, but my sustainable conscience kept reminding me to reduce my consumption a little. Not only because avocados use a lot of water, but also because they are not a local “fruit or vegetable” in Germany!? By the way, the correct answer is fruit! Botanically speaking, the avocado is a berry and is, therefore, a fruit! While avocado guacamole will always have a special place in my heart and will certainly end up on my plate from time to time, it’s worth giving guacamole made from…
