    The best Tomato Soup

    I am obsessed with tomato soup. Yes, I’m also one of these weird people who (sometimes) drink tomato juice as if it was a completely sane thing to do (hey, don’t judge). Back home in Morocco eating tomatoes is a staple. If your house does not have bread or tomatoes, is it even a house ? I drink tomato soup as often as I can, but let me tell you. This recipe I made the other day is the best, creamiest tomato soup I have ever tasted. I am done with industrial soups. Seriously. Hope you try it for yourself, and why not ass a grilled cheese on the side…

    Quinoa Black Bean Soup

    One of my goals for 2018 is to cook more plant-based meals, and eat less meat. I have recently been back home in Morocco, and realized how healthier it is to eat whole, unprocessed food.

    Fluffiest Pancakes

    I always like me some fluffy pancakes x These pancakes are one of the fluffiest you’ll see. Made this recipe the other day and they ended up just like I expected them. The key to making fluffy pancakes is to beat the egg whites separately, and then incorporate them gradually to the batter. These pancakes are not too sweet, so they’re perfect with some maple syrup or honey on top.

    Healthy Cookie Dough (Vegan)

    Ah! Cookie dough. Definitely my favorite flavor at Ben & Jerry’s. And is there anything better than eating cookie dough while scooping it to make cookies ? Ok, maybe there is. Bagel with PB for the win 🤞. Thank goodness, I made a healthier version the other day. Guilt free! There is chickpeas and coconut flour (I see you reading this with a disgusted look, but trust me, trust the process and just blend everything up for the magic to happen. You won’t taste the chickpeas, they’re just there to bring texture to the whole thing).
