Loaded veggie cups

Taking care of a toddler who doesn't really like to eat and finding new foods and new ways to present ingredients can be very time consuming and can really damage one's self esteem.

This is one of the reasons I barely post anymore... If my own child barely tastes the food I make (or any food, really), how can I confidently share my recipes? Oh well... I finally mustered the courage and wrote down, filmed and photographed a few things that I personally love and my toddler may or may not like right now.

I present you these loaded veggie cups, high in protein and calories so they are perfect for those who don't eat too much (or enough) in one sitting.

This recipe is really tasty, easy to make, loaded with veggies, high in iron and choline too.

It takes less than 1 hour to make and you can use it for meal prep too. They freeze beautifully and keep well in the fridge too.

Ingredients:

* 1 package puff pastry

* 3 cups of veggies (I used 1 cup zucchini, 1 cup sweet peppers, 1/2 cup cauliflower, 1/2 cup onion)

* 200 g (1 small block) tofu

* 120 g (1 cup) chickpea flour

* 1/3 to 1/2 cup plant milk (I prefer soy milk)

* 2 tsp paprika

* 1.5 tsp garlic powder

* 1 tsp ground black pepper

* 1 tsp turmeric

* olive or avocado oil for cooking

* salt (omit if you cook for babies)

Vegan steak (EN/ RO)

Lately I saw more than one version of vegan steaks. All of them (the ones I saw, at least) made with wheat gluten, that I actually like. But I always feel the need to make my own recipes or to put my own twist on the recipes that I find and make them my own.
So I had to make my own seitan steaks. Because I can and I like to make my recipes :) And guess what? These "steaks" are delicious and healthier for you than the animal version will ever be. Because they're free of cholesterol, saturated fats and no animal had to die for a steak.
Yes, the steak doesn't taste exactly like a flesh one, but I would not want that! This vegan steak has a nice texture, with just the right amount of chewiness, with some yummy flavors and if you crave meat I think it's a really good substitute.
And also, it's convenient for barbecues, just for a lunch or dinner with the family or for sandwiches or wraps (just cut it into strips). And you can even batter the steaks and make an entirely new dish! Recipe to come in the future! Just stay tuned! :)

Ingredients (EN):

Two beans stir fry with a peanut sauce

To be honest, most of the time I'm in a hurry, and even if I love to cook, sometimes I want something that's ready in less than 30 minutes but still delicious, nutritious and quite healthy.
Bonus points if the recipe is cheap, oil free and asian inspired because I love those type of meals :)
This recipe is healthy, flavorful and perfect for any weather. The sauce gives a really nice flavor and creaminess and compliment the simplicity of the veggies...
In my opinion, you should really try this recipe. Let me know if you like it :)

Ingredients:

Cauliflower and leeks curry

If you like Indian and Thay cuisine, then you like curries for sure.
This one is really easy to make, even if you didn't meal prep for the week. It keeps well in the fridge for at least 3-4 days (if you can resist the flavor and not eat it all :) ).
Also, the flavor is really nice, not too strong, but strong enough to have a great taste. 
And if you have you veggies prepped for the week, then you can have this ready in about half an hour. 
And it's not very high in calories either...
Ok, this is the recipe.
