The (vegan) food in the house

I'm in love with the spring again. This year is being even better because we are living in a house, in a neighborhood full of houses and parks and trees that start to be full of flowers. I am enjoying every single moment of these amazing changes of the weather.

I'm still working a lot and I have a lot of assignments to do what means no time for a lot of things that I love, including blogging and cooking. But we are having some good meals. For our 4th anniversary, my sister-in-law cooked an amazing lasagna (and nothing better than Italian food prepared by Italian people!) for lunch and pizza in the night. I did a lemon cheesecake (I'll post the recipe later) too, so we had lots of good food.

And we can always count with some stuff that make our days in the kitchen easier:

Our Easter egg, also from Italy

This is an amazing vegan cheese that
my best friend Clarissa (and Dennis) brought to us from Berlin

Comfort food + work + sun + friends

Today is St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish, I don't work for an Irish company, so it's a regular day for me (and also for Matteo that works for an US company). Last year we went to town to see the parade because it was our first year in Dublin. It was hard to see because of the amount of people but it was OK. I don't think I would be so much into this kind of celebrations anywhere, I wasn't even in Brazil. But there are people that love it and there are people that hate it. And there are tons of people that just use the day to drink. Not my thing at all too. So, I'm at home, working and excited because I'll see one of my best friends tomorrow. She's coming with her boyfriend to spend 4 days and it will be amazing to have her around.

I'm still not cooking much because of the journalist free lance job I'm doing, but me and Matteo are having some good meals. Most of them involving comfort food. It's so good to have things that make you think about good memories, mainly when you are so far from home. Last week I did the vegan omelet with spinach. I remember that when I was young this was the only way my mother found to make me and my brother (and even herself) eat spinach. I wish she could see this! It was so good. And we are cooking many meals with the white rice + beans. And it's cool to see how they became a comfort food also to Matteo. It is his favourite Brazilian combo. I baked the first vegan chocolate birthday cake yesterday for an order and I have some cupcakes order for April already. Hope I will find the time to make everything.



I'm pretty excited about the spring too! Can't wait for the flowers, the picnics and the running in the park.

It's so good to have flowers in the house and to see the sun outside
