Fried Eggplants with Greek Garlic Sauce

Fried Eggplants with Greek garlic sauce vegan and gluten free

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!

Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie

Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie Raw Vegan Gluten Free

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.

Devilish Baby Potatoes

Devilish Baby Potatoes

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!

May I say, bad idea to write down this recipe after I had the tooth removed, because now I am drooling!

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:
