Baked apple fritters (EN/ RO)

What do you do when you have a bunch of apples? Because, as much as I love eating them raw, I love cooking with them too, especially dessert recipes, like pies, tarts and apple fritters. And lately not only I cannot have very sweet foods, but I cannot tolerate fried foods either (my baby wants a healthy mother, apparently). So I have to dry fry, or cook in water or I have to bake stuff or I'm gonna be in severe pain from my stomach... That's why I made these baked apple fritters that are not only delicious, but oil free and refined sugar free (I use unrefined sugar, because I love it and it's a tad healthier too). They don't have a ton of ingredients and those that I use are quite common for most kitchens. So with a few pretty common ingredients you can make some easy and very delicious snack/ dessert type food. And you have to try them, because they deserve some love and recognition :)
Enough talking now... Let's go to the recipe!

Creamy roasted peppers with tofu (EN/ RO)


I had some roasted peppers in the freezer and they were eyeing me every time I took something out. And I was drooling at the thought of making this creamy pepper dish that reminds me of childhood... Of course, then it wasn't vegan, but this isn't a problem for me, as I can veganize the dish and even make it better and add more protein and nutrition with the tofu. Actually, I believe that I didn't find a dish that I used to like and couldn't veganize it. But this is for another time... 
Today it's all about creamy and dreamy peppers combined with tofu and served with some delicious whole grains or noodles. One of my favorite comfort foods after a curry, actually. And why shouldn't I love these peppers? They're easy to make, cheap, creamy, delicious and really perfect for rainy or cold weather, for when you crave something more comforting... And they are quite healthy, especially if you make it with a nut or oat cream without (too much) oil added. 
And if you don't believe me, just try them for yourself! And don't forget to garnish them with fresh parsley, as that helps elevate the dish :)

Delicious and easy pizza dough (EN/ RO)

I loved pizza before I was vegan and love pizza even more now. 
Especially since I discovered that this simple and fast to make simple dough is absolutely perfect for pizza! So if we're craving pizza, I can make the dough in about 5 to 10 minutes, make my easy, stretchy and melty sunflower mozzarella in about 10 more minutes then roll the dough and throw my favorite toppings on that, then have the finished pizza in as little as 40 minutes from the start. So, if I want a thin crust, I can have it faster than if I would order in. And if I want a thick crust I can have it ready in about 1.5 hours. Or I can make focaccia or other things too... The options are always open. 
This delicious and easy to make pizza dough and pizza as a whole is my go to when I want something fast and a bit junkie because it's really yummy, easy to make and I always have the ingredients in my pantry and fridge. 
And it's still a healthier version of what you can find in pizza joints :) and I know that's always vegan, so that's a big plus! And you can load it with all the good stuff, like tons of veggies, beans, tofu and of course, my sunflower mozzarella, that goes perfectly with it!
Ok, let's see the recipe now!

Caramel cinnamon rolls (EN/ RO)

These vegan and delicious caramel cinnamon rolls are easy and quite fun to make, and especially to eat while they're not in any way or for a health food. But they are delicious and deserve a try from time to time :)
And they can be healthy if you use a glaze that's not made entirely from sugar :) Maybe some cashew or coconut cream or some vegan yogurt... All of them go really well with cinnamon and all these combos are delicious too!
You don't need to believe my word, you have to try it for yourself and enjoy every bit :)
