Vegan & Gluten-Free Gingerbread Men // Omini di pan di zenzero vegan e senza glutine

(Italiano sotto) It's only a few years back that I ate gingerbread cookies for the first time (they are not a tradition here in Italy) and I completely fell in love with them. Other than being incredibly adorable and reminding me of that cute gingerbread man in the Shrek series, I was completely sold by their texture and flavour.

Bergamot Rosemary Quinoa with Roasted Purple Cauliflower // Quinoa al bergamotto e rosmarino con cavolfiore viola arrostito

(Italiano sotto) Soups with whatever I can find in my kitchen are what I have for lunch almost every day. There are some exceptions here and there. I made pancakes not long ago, and this time I made this bowl with quinoa and cauliflower.

Red Lentil Pancakes // Pancakes di lenticchie rosse

You want what's something that I haven't done in a while other than not posting on here? Pancakes. I don't know why, but I haven't made them in months, since last April to be precise, when I remade my blueberry buckwheat pancakes for my birthday. And to be honest, although I love pancakes, I haven't been missing them.

Ginger Beef Stew with Shiitake Mushrooms // Stufato di manzo allo zenzero con funghi shiitake

I haven't been very present on the blog lately, and I'm sorry for that. The past week I was incredibly busy with my other blog that I had to leave something behind. Also, and I said this in the past, I haven't been feeling a lot like writing for Inglourious Bananas lately. And I haven't been very creative in the kitchen either.

Buckwheat Tortiglioni with Brussels Sprouts and Lacinato Kale // Tortiglioni di grano saraceno con cavolini di Bruxelles e cavolo nero

Remember when I told you I was trying to avoid gluten? Well, it isn't going very well. It's just so hard to stay away from barley, spelt and rye. Not to mention pasta, which I'm craving a lot lately. The latter, however, isn't much of a problem because gluten-free pasta exists and today I'm sharing another recipe using my favourite, buckwheat pasta.
