I love coffee. I like it black or with (soy)milk. However, when I do add plantbased milk to my coffee, I am a bit picky. I want a nice bit of foam and I don’t want it to seize (which sometimes happens if the coffee is a bit more acidic, especially with decaf-coffee). Of course…

PRODUCT REVIEW: valsoya caramel and chocolate “Magnums”, ice cream on a stick
I recently went on a trip to a different supermarket (the Plus), which has a different vegan range of products than my normal supermarket. I therefore wanted to test some things and share my experience with you guys, especially since my vegan Halo Top and Oppo ice cream reviews are some of my more popular…
PRODUCT REVIEW: vegan tuna (good catch)
I recently wanted to test out some (new) vegan products, and one of the products I had my eyes on was a vegan tuna alternative by Good Catch. I had to go to another supermarket (the Plus) to get this, and it was fairly pricey, 3.15 euro’s for 94 grams. One of the things that…
VEGAN ICE CREAM REVIEW: Alpro salted caramel and Madagascar vanilla
Due to the popularity of my review of the Oppo vegan very berry ice cream review, which can be found HERE, I thought I would share my thoughts on another vegan ice cream, that is a bit lighter. Alpro has different flavours of ice cream depending on the region where you live, and I reviewed…
RECIPE: LOADED VEGAN JACKET SWEET POTATOES to please even meat-lovers!
I don’t see myself as a militant vegan. Sure, I think the world would be a better place if everybody started eating (more) plant-based foods and reduced or diminished their animal products intake, but I understand that that transition isn’t easy. One of the things I like to do therefore, is show meat-eaters how tasty…
RECIPE: VEGAN MANGO CHEESCAKE – light and airy, with passionfruit
I love baking cakes, and even though I like a rich chocolatey cake or cakes with lots of spices, I think summer asks for lighter and fruitier options. I especially love the flavour of tropical fruits like mango and passion fruits. I think they go well into a fruity and light dessert with a mousse…
REVIEW: Urban Decay Vice lipstick – blackmail
I love a good liquid lipstick. Previously, I have reviewed several lipsticks by high end and drug store brands. Some of my favourites include the YSL liquid lipstick (which I unfortunately cannot find anymore, which I am pretty sad about) and the Dior liquid lipstick. However, these lipsticks, in contrast to the drug store, two-step…
VEGAN LEMON POPPY SEED CUPCAKES WITH LEMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I love the fresh smell of zested lemons. The freshness just really lifts my spirit. One of my favourite flavour combinations with lemons is poppyseeds. Not only do the flavours go well together, I think that incorporating poppy seeds in recipes adds that extra bit of crunch. In this cup cake recipe, I used quite…
VEGAN OIL-FREE APPLE PIE GRANOLA
I love granola’s, but I am quite picky. I don’t really like raisins, dates or cranberries, and I prefer my granola not too sweet. I do however like some crispiness and some nuts. I did like the Eat Natural granolas, but they tend to be made with honey (why?) and they tend to be really…
DIY: Knit Spanish slippers
Call me boring, but I like giving (and receiving) socks. I showed you before how to knit baby socks or booties, which I still think make a perfect (baby shower) gift. However, my brother-in-law recently celebrated his birthday and I didn’t know what to gift him, but I noticed he always wore slippers or warm…
