part of my weekly routine is going to the grocery store every monday. i try to buy things for the week and even though i spend so little time at home, i try to prepare meals myself. as much as i love eating out and realized that i just don’t have the gift of being a good cook, preparing own meals is so much better. i like knowing what’s inside the meal and where the ingredients come from. also there’s nothing better than the feeling to be full after eating something GOOD. of course junk food can be comforting food sometimes, but inever feel GOOD after eating it.

i don’t eat a lot of meat, especially after i read this book, i went vegetarian for a while. i was raised having loads and loads of fruit at my house and i am sure that’s the reason why i was barely ever sick as a child. also i have a slight lactose intolerance, so the foods i eat are pretty limited. of course there’s always exceptions to the rules and i would never limit myself to anything if i was craving it.

my absolutely favorite food blog is 101 cook books but i also enjoy Green Kitchen Stories, Foodisten, Vegan Guerilla, herbivoracious, manifest vegan and of course  anna’s food posts. 

i recently stumbled across the book “i love real food” which has great recipes without sugar and only simple, natural ingredients. this recipe is actully really similar to the one i did here.

here’s also a litte note on soy, which i used to eat a lot. soy production has become a major force in the destruction of the rainforest, mainly in south america. on 77 % of the culticated land used for growing soy uses genetically modified seeds. also there are no long-term studies on the positive effects of soy concerning cancer risks and so on.
