All of the recipes in my blog are mostly plant based and are intended for a family of four, two adults and two kids, unless I mention otherwise in the recipe.

Occasionally I get a bit fanatic about eating healthy, but this doesn’t mean I force my kids to slurp green juices, or shove chia seeds down their throats.

My “radicalism” comes down to a few basic rules:

1. We will not buy or eat processed food.
2. We will eat organic food whenever it’s possible and affordable.
3. We will eat vegetables and fruits only when they’re in season and locally grown.
4. Any homemade cake or cookie is acceptable, as long as it’s not blue, red or green unless it’s made with food-based colors.

I don’t like to preach, or tell anyone how to live their life. If you like what we eat and how we live, adopt it. If you don’t, it’s okay, too. Our life is far from being perfect, but we make it better by eating like kings, spending time with people that we love, and traveling whenever we have some extra cash.  

I don’t believe in “kids’ food.” I hate kids’ menus – most of them offer disgusting food for kids just because they are kids! My kids eat most of the food my husband and I eat.

I own at least fifty cookbooks, yet I rarely follow recipes precisely. Most of the time I leaf through a book just to get some inspiration, then I usually make my own version with the ingredients I have at hand. Feel free to do the same with my recipes – make them your own!

I think how you serve the food is nearly as important as what and how you cook, especially when feeding kids. I let my kids eat on the same china as the adults since the day they were able to sit on a booster and join us at the table. Normally we eat on a large white plate made by ikea, nothing fancy. I never liked the idea – especially with hot food – of eating on plastic plates. The food looks distasteful on plastic. It looks appetizing on big white plates, bistro style. My kids eat better when their plate looks neat and with small portions (the same portion of food looks different on different sized plates.)

All the photographs in the blog were taken by me.

I hope you enjoy and celebrate every meal like we try to do.
