We recently found a Schnitzer gluten free baguette at Botanica here in Patra so we had to try it. It’s not a marble rye but it was still delicious! There are many ideas we had as how to make them but in the end Athanasia had the most interesting idea, vegan chicken nuggets. That’s right! I had never heard of doing this but she has so I had to try it. Here is how we made this gluten free vegan chicken nugget sub: Continue reading Vegan Chicken Nugget Sub
On the 25th of March, here in Greece, we always eat skordalia! This is an extra garlicky condiment only for those who love garlic! They also serve it with fried fish, but I replaced it using eggplant pieces. These fried eggplants with Greek garlic sauce were delicious and brought back memories! 🙂 You can adjust the garlic quantity but be aware, your breath will smell! Continue reading Fried Eggplants with Greek Garlic Sauce
I made a lot of smoothies and blended soups this week after Athanasia’s wisdom tooth extraction. It’s very easy, even easier than cooking and much quicker thanks to our Vitamix (click here in North America or click here in Europe). One of the days this week I made this kiwi strawberry smoothie and we both loved it very much! This smoothie is raw vegan and gluten-free of course. I am especially proud of this smoothie because it has wheatgrass powder in it and Athanasia still loved it! She usually hates wheatgrass so it doesn’t have very much, but it does have some.

The weather today was absolutely beautiful here in Patra, Greece. Athanasia wanted to go for a walk down by the sea and I asked if she wanted to bring our camera. She began taking photos and some of them are really gorgeous! The sunset tonight was amazing and the clouds were just right to help her capture some of these “almost like a painting” snapshots. We thought it would be nice to share some of this beauty on our blog here and get back to sharing recipes tomorrow. There is so much beauty in nature so enjoy the scenery, happy spring and welcome to Patra! Continue reading Happy Spring from Patra, Greece!
I recently had my wisdom tooth removed and Jake is constantly providing me with smoothies and blended food, as if I am 3 months old! Yes I have to, but still, I am a tee wee jealous of food that is delicious you can actually bite into. Like these devilish baby potatoes I made the day before the surgery. May I say, bad idea to write down this recipe after I had the tooth removed, because now I am drooling!
*Sigh* Vegan bacon cheeseburger pizza. As a boy growing up there were three things I loved: music, American football and bacon cheeseburger pizza from a joint known as Godfather’s Pizza. In this recipe I wanted to make my favorite kind of pizza on my favorite style of pizza crust: stuffed crust! To make this pizza vegan and gluten free was a nice treat for me. Here is how it’s done:
Today we are going to do a Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust product review. I have quite a bit of experience with this flour mixture from Bob’s Red Mill already. When I first began making homemade pizza in Minnesota this was my favorite flour mixture to use. When I found a way to acquire some of this flour here in Greece I was very happy! Continue reading Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Product Review
I love using an oven pot with a lid, I stole a small one from my mother and I use it when I want to give food amazing flavor! Traditional Greek beans with tomato sauce, carrots and peppers baked in the oven pot. Finally, some beans around here! Perfect for fasting and olive oil free 🙂
I wanted to develop a great raw vegan ground beef recipe that is also gluten free. It turned out to be easier than I was expecting! This delicious savory recipe features raw walnuts soaked in water overnight as the meat. I wanted to make this for a gluten free vegan bacon cheeseburger pizza (click here for recipe) and in doing so discovered it also turns out perfectly when baked in the oven on a pizza! Try it out sometime if you are not 100% raw. Here is how I did it:
These delicious black bean and rice burritos are very similar to those made by Chipotle. It’s a big recipe but very worth it to make it! Let’s get started:
