Its so warm overhere in Marseille....so we mostly just eat salads and make smoothies....nothing new....and we have many longterm guests who do not want to eat always healthy stuff...
But soon I will post new stuff :-)

Almond Cacao with Mint and Matcha

Almondbutter, water, raw cacao powder, 1 banana, a bit coconut oil, fresh mint leaves and matcha in the blender.....a dream :-) I realize more and more: all this agave syrop, dates and stuff is not really necessary to sweeten up smoothies.....

Almond milk with Matcha

Almond milk and matcha in the blender plus some ice cubes......hmmm :-)

Organic beef with curcuma, cumin and onions

The last days it was soooo warm in Marseille - I just ate fruits fruits fruits.
So today my body was calling for meat. I made organic beef with cumin and curcuma and lots of onions - with salad and quinoa.

Almond milk with cherries

I actually dont make "fresh" almond milk anymore.....I just take almond butter from the bio shop, mix it in my blender with water and done it is.
Here with cherries, melon and banana....soo yummy!

Chicory salad with dried tomatoes

This is one of my favorite salads: sliced chicory (I dont take of the bitter parts), some green salad, parsley, coriander, onions, dried tomatoes, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sesam seeds - I love this mixture :-)

Chard Salad with Quinoa

Chard, tomatoes, avocados, quinoa and parsley with oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Water Melon Smoothie

Just watermelon, water and ice cubes.........best stuff to drink in the heat :-)

Parsley-Carrots + Quinoa and mixed Salad with herbs + selfmade Cashew-"Cheese"

Carrots are one of sooo many veggies, which have much more absorbable nutritions when they are cooked. And which are easier to digest.
Raw ist great. But sometimes cooked is better. Otherwise we still had the brain of an Australopithecus...but hum....would be probably better....

Raw icy Sesam and Lins seeds Comfit

Sesam and lin seeds in the food processor, mix with cocnut oil, raw cacao powder, a bit aromatic honey and some lemon zests. Pour on baking paper and put this in the fridge for some minutes. Cut in quarters after. Tooo good with a Matcha! :-)

Beluga Lentil Salad

Beluga Lentils, mix with white and red chopped onions, sliced chicory, cherry tomatoes, fresh thyme, olive oil, a lot of apple vinegar, salt, pepper, sesam seeds. Very tasty. And better for sure with parsley :-)

Pak Choi in coconut oil

Pak Choi and other asian green leaves (I did not find the name in the shop..) baked carefully in coconut oil, wholecorn rice and mixed tomatoes. Poured vinaigrette with onions over and sprinkled some sesam seeds.

Fresh Sardines with Rice, Melon and Salad

Oki, rice, especially white rice does not belong to the healthy kitchen....but the combination was great nevertheless :-)

Veggie boat :-)

Chicory for the "boats", fill them with sliced carrots, avocados, tomatoes, curcumbers, coriander and for the amazing tasty sauce you take: chopped mild onions, olive-sesam-and coconut oil, honey, a tiny little bit of almondmilk, some cinnamon, salt, pepper...uuach...its really yummy!

Best Green Smoothie Ever :-)

So far this was my best green smoothie ever. With chard, coriander, celery leaves, banana, apple, kiwi aaand: freshly picked lime-blossoms....tooooo GOOD!

Carrot + Chard Salad

 
Carrots with chard, olive oil, coconut oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper. Its more than simple - but we just love it this way :-)

Lime-tree blossom tea

Oohhh the last weeks Marseille was smelling like a sweet dream. It was soo amazing! Lime-tree blossoms smell like a wonderful mixture of curcumber and rock melon - at least in my nose ;-)
And finally I found some trees in a parc with reachable branches...

Lentil Salad with eggs

Funny, this dish reminds me food pictures from the 70ies ;-)
Beluga lentils with onions, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper (I cooked them with too much water...),
add some tomatoes, eggs, and yes I loove them: sardines, sprinkle some sliced spring onions.
Bon appetit.

Carrot Salad

Classical version: carrots, celery stalks and leaves, curcumber, apple, salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil :-)

Green Salad with Ananas

Like one can see in my blog: I love to keep it simple. So this salad is just made out of:
green salad, a quarter of an ananas, coriander, sesam seeds, lemon juice, coconut oil, salt, pepper - done :-) This salad is as simple as refreshing...

Mango "Chocolate"

Mix coconut oil, grounded lin seeds, raw cacao powder, add a bit agave syrop, pour on baking paper. Sprinkle little pieces of fresh mango and some thinny sliced mint leaves. Put in the fridge for 30 minutes....and then.....hmmmm...

Very quick and easy gluten-free noodle salad

Sometimes there is not much time to enjoy preparing food...(and sometimes I need noodles).
I take gluten-free noodles. Add some chopped red onions, a lot of coriander, a can sardines in olive oil, some extra olive oil, lemon juice (!!!) salt, pepper. Its simple but yummy. And more quick is not possible...

Quinoa Salad

Its so warm in Marseille....so this salad is perfect because its very refreshing. Quinoa (cold) and tomatoes, red onions, spring onions, parsley, lemon juice, apple-vinegar, olive oil, salt pepper....done :-)

Lentil Salad with warm potatoes

I used green lentils and my favorite ones: Beluga lentils. I sliced spring onions, chopped parsley while the potatoes were cooking. For the vinaigrette I used olive oil, a loOot of apple-vinegar, some lemon juice, salt, pepper, chopped two toes of garlic and very small chopped "Maggi" leaves (important for the taste!).
Mix the cold lentils with vinaigrette and after fold in the still warm potatoes. On top I added some Tamari sauce.

Raw Icy Comfit......

Oh this is soooooooooooooo good (and sooo healthy!)!!! It melts on your tongue....
I just put some lin + sesam seeds in the foodprocessor and mixed them with two big spoons of Dr. Georg's Coconut oil, 1 big spoon of raw cacao and a tiiny bit agave-syrop....put the mixture on baking paper, into the fridge for 15 minutes.....and enjoy! 
But this is just the simple base.....try as well to add some berries, matcha or mint leaves....must be a dream!

"Fève" (broad beans) with Quinoa and black lens and green salad with avocado

oh, this was very tasty and satisfying!

Found this "fève" beans today at the bio market - I've never seen them fresh actually, just always dried....

amazingly big this "fève" beans....I can remember as a child I loOoved soup made with this beans, in german  called "Saubohne"....so but this is the first time I enjoyed them fresh :-)

Dr. Fuhrman's EAT TO LIVE - a life saving book!!

Well, I did not buy this book for loosing weight! I bought it for my parents. They are not fat at all but they take a lot of meds where I am sure they could at least minimise them with more vegetables, especially raw vegetables - and NO coffee, cakes, meat, pasta and white bread. I just wanted to have more arguments ;-) So, yesterday it arrived! When I started to read (and Im still reading) Fuhrmans words I thougth: hey, this is e x a c t l y what I live!!! Just in the oil-point I dont agree with him. Our brain needs fat! Our organism needs fat as well to get all the nutritions out of the veggies. Anyway, I am not able to eat megabig portions of salad or other raw veggies - so I need oil the get enough calories, otherwise I would get to skinny.
As well I can say that this book is really made for the burger-fries-donat-cookies-eating american who lost all ideas about what the meaning of food could be.
So this book is written for another planet! But - and here this book is so amazingly important and LIFE SAVING for everybody who is suffering from several deseases or wants to prevent them: Fuhrman explains so simple and wonderful the connection between heart-deseases, diabetes etc., the development of cancer and FOOD!!
My parents are living in germany, Berlin so I write them mails and call them several times to tell them the message and I congure them to give this way of eating a try for about 4 weeks.
I actually tryed already before reading Fuhrman's book to make them eating healthier. There is hope that they are open - because since some weeks they have a green smoothie every morning. This is a good base, a good start for more.
And now I have even better arguments and examples! :-)
Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!!

Lin seeds with avocado and banana

okay, its really not a very pretty meal ;-) I put it here already once, but more like a dessert.
This time I put much more lin seeds like 50 grams in the food-processor, added 2 bananas, 1 avocado and lots of lemon juice and some verveine leaves. Its a perfect dish for two persons on a lazy day. I unfortunately had no berries to make it more pretty ;-)

Black Beluga Lens with Tomatosalad

Today I mixed cooked with raw food. Tomatosalad with Tofu, Onions, fresh Thyme and a vinaigrette plus Beluga lens with coriander, some soysauce and butter. I really like this colourmix...

Green Smoothie

Like every day: a biig green smoothie! This time with broccoli leaves, spinace, coriander, 2 bananas, 1 apple, juice of half a lemon, water..... :-)
And you know what?? I dont have a VITAMIX.......!! My blender was around 80 Euro. He is just doing a fine work and he is even not so loud! His name is: Philips HR2096/00 Avance (with very smart blades!!! - I rarely need the tamper). Probably he wont get the age like a Vitamix - but shall I wait to drink Smoothies till I can/want to efford him? I think this would be pretty stupid.

day off.....

Today we were strolling through Marseille for hours and suddenly I had such a desire for junk!
So I had alltogether an onion quiche, a baguette with Merguez, two beer, after a cake (unfortunately a bad one) and two coffee.
And believe it or not: I enjoyed it! Or better, we enjoyed it. Franck had the same. And apart of the cake everthing was just great. I actually dont like white bread at all - today I loved it. But half an hour later I got the bill (of course...) - I just felt weird around my stomac and my head...
Day off makes fun - and shows you again what your body really likes: healthy food - and no junk.
For dinner we made raw noodles with raw tomatosauce to be nice to our bodies again ;-)

Halva with raw cacao

Put some sesam seeds in the foodprocessor, add a tea spoon of very aromatic honey and some raw cacao.....roll the paste in sesam seeds.....well....while making the photo I had to force myself not to eat them all...

Quinoa with fruits

Still a bit warm Quinoa with some coconut oil and a tiny bit agave syrop, cinnamon, some raspberries, banana and medlar.....ooOooh this is so delicious :-)     A great meal for a sweet tooth...

Nearly Raw Spinace Pesto Pizza

the base: my raw bread

Raw bread with fresh coriander and sesamseeds.....and two big pieces for the piiiizzzaaaaaa :-)

Mixed tomatoes, red pepper and coriander with Tamari sauce and salt ready for the dehydration.
They were at the end a bit too baked...thats why I call this dish "nearly raw Pizza" ;-)

And the Spinace Pesto: I used sunseeds, linseeds and sesam for the base. Spinace, coriander, oil, some dried apricots, garlic and salt in the food processor.

Steamed veggies with organic chicken and wine :-)

We just love them again and again: steamed veggies. This time with a steamed little piece of organic chicken. With lots of good oil and some Tamari sauce. And a glas of wine.

Raw Pizza -- soOoo good! :-)

Raw bread as base, garlic + dried + fresh tomatoes + oliveoil for the creamy yummy pulp and then just put some tomatoes, red pepper, celery (stalks + leafs), avocados, coriander, oliveoil and salt and pepper - and enjoy. Its soooo delicious!! Next time I will add some selfmade cashew-cream.

Tomatosalad with Tofu and Thyme

This salad is soo refreshing...some Tofu (put in soysauce for some minutes), mixed coloured tomatoes, onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, a lot of fresh thyme.

Cacao Mint Somethings...

Yes, they wont win a beauty contest.....but they were so hhmmmm.......almonds and figs in a foodprocessor, add some raw cacao, form flat rounds, fill each with a slice of strawberry and a mint leave, flap them, and sprinkle some Matcha over.

A meal out of leftovers...

A quite funny mixture...but we were happy not to leave the house....tofu, zuccinis, tomatoes, dried tomatoes, sweet potatos, coriander and sardines (can!).

Linseed Dessert !

"Grind" 2 big spoons of Linseeds in your foodprocessor, add two ripe bananas, mix after with 2 big spoons of raw cacao powder.....so quick, so easy, so healthy, so good :-)

Mixed Salad with eggs and avocados

My boyfriends salad with lots of linseed- and olive oil. I love the mixture of avocados and eggs - their texture on the tongue, together with salt and oil....soo delicious.

steamed veggies with tofu and sardines

Steamed long beans, broccolie, carrots, sweet potatoes, radiccio, onions and tofu with fresh coriander, linseed oil, soysauce and salt, some sardines - its so satisfying!
After a fruitsalad in the morning, a green smoothie some hours later and for late lunch this veggies - for tonight some raw bread with avocados, tomatos and onions, not to forget the green tea in between - I mean: is there another possibility than to feel good? :-)

My beloved raw bread :-)

This time with lots of dried tomatoes and ground caraway. I just love it!

Steamed mixed vegetables (sweet potatoes, yellow beet, carrots, broccoli, onions, parsley root) with tofu. Enjoy this easy dish with linseed oil, soysauce and pickled ginger. Yummy.
