Heida's new lifestyle

Food blog. I'm a 26 year old girl from Iceland. I went vegetarian in August 2015 and I'm eating vegan now. I'm still not going to delete my old photos of meat and all that - it's interesting for me to see my history of eating the last few years.

Egyptian White Bean Stew for dinner tonight. It's a recipe from the perfect cookbook for me - Vegan Recipes from the Middle East by Parvin Razavi. So, these recipes allow me to keep my Syrian husband's home sickness at bay and keep it vegan at the same time. 😋 This dish was quite yummy. #vegan #veganfood #vegetarianfood #food #egyptianfood #foodblog #foodie #veganrecipesfromthemiddleeast #parvinrazavi #whitebeanstew #rice #lettuce #tomatoes #parsley #healthy #dinner #yummy #cooking # (at Iceland)

I picked up a copy of The Happy Pear recipe book by David and Stephen Flynn while I was traveling in Ireland last month. I had seen some of their videos on YouTube a while ago so I was very excited to run into their cookbooks while I was in Cork. I actually got their second book as well because I couldn't decide which one to get. 😉 They're not available in Iceland anyway so, why not? After having bookmarked about 20 recipes which I'm the most excited to make I decided to go with the beetroot, spinach, apple and toasted seed salad today. I served it with some leftover Deliciously Ella falafels from the freezer and her hummus which I've made so many times now that I know the recipe by heart. So, that was one really delicious and healthy lunch that I enjoyed with my mom on this sunny Sunday. #vegan #plantbased #thehappypear #vegetarian #healthyfood #healthy #beetroot #salad #falafel #hummus #deliciouslyella #delicious #food #apple #vegetables #lunch #weightloss #veganfood #cookbook #plantbaseddiet @thehappypear (at Kópavogur)

Peach purée - I'm going to try this on oatmeal, soy yogurt and whatnot the next few days. It's 7 peaches (placed in boiling water for 45 seconds, then in ice water, and finally peeled), juice from half a lime, and some agave syrup. I puréed it in my food processor. #vegan #peach #peaches #peachpuree #peachpurée #fruitpuree #jar #healthy #food #healthyfood #vegetarian #fruit #plantbased #weightloss

Seriously delicious vegan sweet potato and black bean burger from the Shoots and Roots tent at the Laya Healthcare festival at Fitzgerald Park in Cork, Ireland. My mom and I didn't know there was a festival going on there when we stumbled upon it on Saturday after visiting the Cork City Gaol - it was a really nice surprise. I've wanted to try the food from Shoots and Roots ever since I saw some videos from the owners on YouTube a while back. The name of the tent was so familiar but it wasn't until the next day that I realized where I knew it from. Unfortunately, the restaurant itself is only located in Dublin I think - otherwise we would have probably eaten there almost every day here in Cork. #vegan #travellingvegan #vegetarian #veganfood #veganstreetfood #shootsandroots #veganburger #vegetables #hummus #healthy #healthyeating #festivalfood #streetfood #yummy #delicious #lunch #govegan #fitzgeraldpark #fitzgeraldparkcork #cork #layahealthcarefestival #layahealthcarecityspectacular #park #veganfood (at Fitzgerald Park)

I'm not sure I like this - tastes a little weird. Still, pretty cool. #vegan #veganfood #protein #proteindrink #govegan #plantbaseddiet #plantbased #oatlyrecovery #oatly #vegetarian #healthyeating
