Split peas and lentil dahl (EN/ RO)

The fall recipes series continues here with a cozy and delicious dahl... Was I doing a fall series in the beginning, btw? Who cares? I have more recipes perfect for this colder season and I think that technically, I can consider this a series, because I have more than one recipe :))

This split peas and lentil dahl is delicious, perfect for fall, oil free, gluten free by default, high in protein and really healthy! 

Also, it's quite easy to make, and perfect over rice or sweet potatoes, with some avocado on top is more than perfect! 

Can you tell that I love this recipe? :)) 

What can I say? I'm guilty of loving the food that I make...

Ingredients:

Chocolate chip muffins (EN/ RO)

These chocolate chip muffins were actually born as a result of a evening craving... I wanted something a bit sweet, fluffy, with chocolate. And healthy.
That means that I had to make them, because I can't buy something like this anywhere near me. So, I made them. And loved them so much that I had to share them with you too.
Now, to be even healthier, I use cacao nibs, but you can use chocolate chips or chocolate chunks to make them more decadent. And from time to time, some chocolate is really good, especially for the soul, isn't it?
Oh! And do you want to know something? I had to make them 3 times in one week just to have something to photograph between the crappy weather and light and them being so delicious that they disappear fast. So I go to photograph the ugliest batch ever that I kept in the oven more than necessary (as you can already see), because I was already tired and a bit angry that I filmed and written down the recipe way before I actually needed to and I didn't had any pictures... So guys, don't bake when too tired and already irritated or angry, because you just to burn them.
Guess what though? They are delicious even if you burn them a bit 😂
Now you have to try the recipe...

Ingredients (14 to 16 "normal" muffins or 8 to 10 bigger ones):

Creamy lentil and root vegetable soup (EN/ RO)

Who doesn't like hearty creamy soup on a cold fall day? I know I do! 

This soup is creamy without actually needing any cream or other refined fats, just by cooking blending delicious wholesome ingredients. And you only need one pot and less than 1 hour to make it. Also, it's perfect for meal prep too :)

Ingredients (makes about 8 servings):

Plum galette (EN/ RO)

I found some sweet and juicy fall plums and I was so happy and giddy about them! And why? Because I love plums and I love cooking with them too! 

This plum galette is easy to make, delicious and has no refined oil. Just healthy fats from the nut butter. And the plums are so soft and delicious after baking, almost like a jam that make a really nice contrast with the crumbly crust. 

You have to try it if you find some plums!
