The Happy Veganarian!'s photostream

Welcome to The Happy Veganarian! I have two blogs. The Happy Veganarian! is my English blog. You are also welcome to take a look at my Dutch blog - Natuurlijk Veganistisch!.

I try to find harmony and balance in life and the food I cook. My recipes should be simple and quick to cook. I don't like to use long lists of ingredients which I usually don't have in the house and in general we eat with the seasons. I'm not overly strict with this but it comes to me naturally to eat with the energy of the seasons. We also only eat pure organic food which means for us quality is more important than quantity. Our simple lifestyle is reflected in the food we eat.

My diet consists of many different grains, vegetables, fruit, seeds, oils and in lesser amounts nuts, legumes, and soy products. Next to that and equally important are the superfoods such as hemp seeds, algies, berries, sprouts, seaweed and raw cacao. In the spring I'll also add some wild plants like nettles and dandelion. I try to get all my nutrients out of food and prefer not to use pills, the only exception being that I occasionally take a B12 supplement.

I have been a vegetarian and vegan since age 20 and I'm now 42 years old. After all these years and at this age I think it's important to watch my diet. Not in such a way that I will focus on diet with a microscope so to speak, but just to make sure I don't miss out on important nutrients. So to do that I eat a variety of different foods and just listen to what my body wants. If you are already eating healthy then your body will give you the signals of what your body needs!

I hope you will enjoy my simple, tasty and healthy recipes. Also I like to share with you our lifestyle and within that what is for us most important which is spirituality. We focus on simplicity and grounding in spirituality.
