Mung bean cakes | Pure Ella. I pay attention to my health and diet, as you may already know, but that doesn’t mean I compromise taste or quality in my meals. These mung bean cakes are incredibly delicious, light-tasting but very filling. So if one of your resolutions for 2012 is to eat healthier – we can certainly become BFF’s – and this is one of many light, simple and healthy meals for you. My diet consists of mainly plant based foods, no meat or dairy and no wheat products. This may seem challenging when cravings call for some good comfort food. This meal is exactly that : comfort food that’s actually very good for you. Mung beans are rich in the following nutrients : protein, vitamin C, folic acid or folate, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, thiamine.
Is that enough to convince you that these are crazy healthy cakes ;) Let’s get right to the recipe, shall we, so you can make these Asap! Ingredients for Mung Bean Cakes: Directions: Spread a coat of chickpea flour on a large plate. Kale Spinach Pesto Linguini : gluten-free and vegan | Pure Ella. Hello friends! I’m sure this happens every time once a certain holiday passes us by….. we got so busy cooking more elaborate meals, cleaning and decorating the house that by now we just feel worn out. And the kitchen may not look as inviting anymore ~ but we still gotta eat. We still need something on that dinner table. We’re feeling a bit sluggish but don’t want to admit it. It’s ok, you can put your superwoman cape away, relax and make a ‘comfort-food’ meal that is still super healthy and quick and easy to make.

Clean eating : kale + chickpea pick-me-up salad | Pure Ella. Hello dear friends. January is almost over… my posts have been sporadic – for a while – a complete no-show. (sorry). I know it’s not the best way to introduce the new year on a wellness mission with me myself not stepping up to be there for you. There’s a reason. There’s always a reason. Busy is good, right? One thing you may or may not know about me is that I’m a very dedicated person to whatever I set myself to do. When I make commitments, I keep to my commitments and put in 100%!
With commitments and dedication there’s work. It’s a complete spiralling effect… you see yourself going down but you just can’t help it… you overlook the veggies, fill up on sadder food choices! You need to be bright and vibrant and colourful again. Our emotions, stress influence how we eat. We’ve all been there. What needs to happen is you need some love from good nutrition. Kale + Chickpea Pick-Me-Up Salad (vegan, gluten-free, organic, unprocessed, all natural) Serves 2 Ingredients: handful of kale Dressing : My comfort food : pad thai | Pure Ella. It’s one of these days, ok. weeks, that I just crave comfort. I want to feel wrapped up in comfort inside and out.
Food does that. It knows how to make you feel good, feel relaxed with a bowl of goodness right in front of you. I especially love when that bowl of goodness is a heaping serving of Pad Thai. I make mine with loads of veggies, organic firm tofu, topped with rich flavour and a little sprinkle of toasted ground peanuts. Of course, traditional Pad Thai has a beaten egg in it ~ I skip the egg and veganize the sauce also by using sesame oil instead of fish oil, that is typically used. That’s what I need for dinner today, an easy and very quick dinner to prepare that doesn’t sacrifice taste and nutrition, and is still vegan and gluten-free with high protein.
Tofu Pad Thai { vegan & gluten-free } Directions: On a large wok pan, saute the onions and garlic until golden, add the tofu and fry until golden brown. My recipe is a little loosely-put.

One thing you may have noticed with the food recipes here; so that means, the food I eat, that I love international flavours! It is indeed a fact that my taste buds have little limits as to what flavours they are about to sink into. One week I can crave something Italian, and two days later Asian or Indian. And that is precisely why I see no restrictions in my diet ~ I have an open mind to a wonderful world of flavours, spices and interesting combinations of foods to make a meal not only delicious but also very healthy. Skipping out on meat, dairy, eggs, glutenous grains (or going completely grain-free, like in this recipe) is not impossible ~ it is actually exciting!

Wild Rice No-Meat Loaf : gluten-free, grain-fee, vegan | Pure Ella. Lemon Poppyseed Loaf (gluten, dairy and egg free Starbucks cake) | Pure Ella. I have this incredible love for the Lemon Poppyseed Loaf from Starbucks. Ahh… that lemony moist cake with the yummy poppy seeds – wow! This loaf cake brings back great memories… This was our life a few years ago (does 10 years pass as a ‘few’? It sure feels like it was yesterday) : Me and my soon-to-be husband, living in Port Credit, a sweet little ‘town’ just west of TO, it’s really just a small strip with character buildings of a cute little town and the best part…. it’s right by the lake. We lived there for six years in a small apartment right in the hub of this great little area… now very trendy. We were living the life. Of course, some memories just never fade and looking back to our life in Port Credit always brings a smile to my face.
But I never wanted to really move. We no longer have Starbucks or the lake within a walking distance.
