Red lentil pate

As a mom with a baby that started to eat solid foods and does baby led weaning (mostly because said baby refuses to be spoon fed, actually), I'm always thinking of recipes that are high in iron, protein and healthy fats. Not necessary all in the same recipe, but hey, if I can do it, why not? And this pate/ dip has them all: healthy fats, it's high in iron and protein and even has some vitamin C to enhance the iron absorption!
This recipe is very easy to make (ready in less than 5 minutes if you have cooked lentils), has just a few ingredients and you can use this multiple ways: as a dip instead of regular hummus, on toast or any other kind of bread or you can use it as a sauce for pasta too! Your choice!

High protein chocolate chunk cookies (EN/ RO)

Who likes chocolate chip (or chunk) cookies? I know I love them! Paired with some yummy plantbased milk it reminds me of the childhood. Granted, I don't eat them too often due to the amount of sugar and refined fat that they usually have, but they are delicious! And easily made vegan too! And a lot healthier if you want...
The difference between my cookies and some classic ones? These cookies are quite healthy, high in protein, oil free and made with wholesome ingredients. The only refined sugar is the one in the chocolate :)
If you need more bonus points... they are easy to make and bake. Almost as easy as eating them...
Ok, let's go to the recipe now.

High protein summer bowl

I love hearty meals and I love to cook. But now it's so hot outside that cooking at least for lunch is the last thing on my mind.
So I make a lot of fresh bowls that are also high in protein and some healthy fats. I call them all Buddha bowls because it's just easier. And truly, Buddha bowls can have anything.
I always follow a few base rules: always have greens, some of my favorite veggies and one protein (tofu, tempeh, lentils, beans, chickpeas, seitan...)
Let's see how I make this one (which is my favorite lately).

Seitan ribs (EN/ RO)

Who said that vegans can't get enough proteins? I love using wheat gluten because I can make a lot of foods with it, all high in protein, like steaks, burgers, wellington and more. And the gluten gives those foods that "meaty" texture that a lot of people miss.
I like these ribs because they are delicious and juicy and they go really well in sandwiches, wraps or just with veggies and a good sauce :)
