Vegan Almond Chocolate Cookies
If you’re in search of some kind of sweet comfort, these cookies are the answer 🙂 They are super duper delicious, really easy to make and quite healthy too!

Red Lentil Hummus
I have been spending a lot of time at the beach here in Southern california, after work, on weekends, watching the sunset, walking on the beach, swimming (the water is so warm this year, you can easily chill in it which is very unusual), getting seaweed everywhere, watching kids build sand castles, elder couples walking…

Roasted Pumpkin w/ tahini sauce
It’s October…which means it’s pumpkin season! Here in Italy you see pumpkins all the time during this month, but mostly for culinary purposes. Halloween is not celebrated as much as in the US so pumpkin decorations are seen less of here. Pumpkins here are mostly used for risotto or soups. I love pumpkin, it’s a comfort…
