Getting something delicious on the table after dinner does not have to take a lot of time. Preparing curry is easy and can be done quite quickly. You throw everything into a pot, season it well and after a short time you can fill your bowls and start eating. What more could you want? This simple (Vegan) Cauliflower & Chickpea Curry is a very good example here – on the table in no time and absolutely delicious!
A few additional vitamins can never hurt, right? No matter if it’s summer or winter. The easiest way to get them into your diet is, of course, with some salad. To avoid eating the same boring green salad all the time, I recommend roasting veggies and use them in your salad. The best example is this Roasted Broccoli, Chickpea & Beet Salad with Feta here. Delicious and easy to prepare.
Give me a colorful and delicious salad, and I am happy. There is nothing better in summer. Salads are healthy and normally not too complicated to prepare. The latter does not quite apply to this Summer Salad with Roasted Quinoa & Chickpeas, to be honest. Well, at least not fully. Compared to a simple tomato salad you have to do several steps more to get this salad on the table… but it’s definitely worth the extra work. Roasting the quinoa and chickpeas before adding to the salad makes a great difference ;)
If you are the type of person that does not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, something like a simple soup or stew is always a good choice. In a short time, you can prepare a delicious meal with a few simple ingredients that can feed a large family if you want to ;) This Vegan Chickpea & Potato Soup takes about 1 hour until it’s ready on the table, but the majority of that time you don’t have to do anything. You let the soup simmer away and actually do not even have to pay attention to it until it’s done ;)
Sometimes you are just not in the mood after a long day at work to spend even more time working in the kitchen to make dinner. What do I say… sometimes? I mean never! ;) For this reason, I love me some dinner like this one here – Roasted Cauliflower with Chickpeas. Conveniently made in the oven on one tray. Really easy to prepare and if you make a bit more you got leftovers you can use the next day. Sounds good, right?
In summer, salads are always our first choice. When the apartment is “burning” with temperatures over 25°C even at night… you definitely do not want a heavy dinner before you go to sleep. Big dinner in combination with high temperatures normally means bad sleep or no sleep for us at all. Eating some salad for dinner is a much better option here. Something like this delicious Roasted Chickpea Salad with feta, for example. So much better ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
