I'm allergic to all dairy products, so cooking for me has its natural limitations.
However challenging, I try regarding it as a means to explore my creative side.
I find that cooking around certain allergies and diets can lead to more tasteful and interesting results than the conventional alternatives.
On this page I'll try to keep you posted with how-to's and ideas for healthy, dairy-free and mostly vegetarian dishes.
As I am very fond of Asian food, raw food and peanut butter, I apologise in advance for the possibility of overexposing these favourites :)

Easy, breasy non-greasy Pancakes

How do you like the sound of pancakes taking less than 10 minutes to prepare, are completely guilt freee, taste like heaven and only require two basic ingredients? If you think that's too good to be true, I suggest you read on:

Ingredients:

1 banana

1 egg

A handful of blueberries (cut in halves) -optional

A drop of coconut oil for the pan

How to:

Blend the egg and banana with a hand blender until the mixture is lump free.

Fry as you would regular pancakes. Sprinkel a few half blueberries on the pancake on the unfried side before flipping the pancake.

Serve:

Breakfast-style: Try with a few drops of good honey and loads of fresh berries. Try blending some frozen raspberries with some pure vanilla powder (real vanilla - not the sugary stuff) to a healthy jam.

Lunch-style: Serve with fresh spinach and avocado. Healthy lunch choice with a good mix of iron, good fats and proteins.

Health options:

If you want to cut down on cholesterol, leave out the egg yolk and use two egg whites instead. This way you still get some good proteins, but spare both calories and cholesterol from the yolk.
