Muffin making is one of those calming rituals I resort to whenever I feel the workload is stressing me. I love calm evenings when the kitchen smells of cinnamon, vanilla and anise whilst we're both busy making food. I've heard that people who aren't brilliant cooks are good at making sweet desserts.

I've become a really big fan of tuna and, since I've tried smoked tuna and tuna steak, I know canned tuna doesn't do justice to this gorgeous fish meat. Smoked tuna I find to be more delicious than smoked salmon but nothing can beat a good tuna steak. It's such a delicacy and it's actually not complicated to make. I've decided to pair it with organic brown basmati rice, grilled peppers and lamb's lettuce.

Doesn't the sight of this stunning bowl make you feel good? I hope so because I always, always feel better when I know I'm about to eat something so beautiful, so nutritious and so healthy. Not to mention - easy to make! I love power breakfast bowls, they're so convenient to make in batches, freeze and bring to work when needed. And you can make them any way you want.

Despite the fact spring is really not as close, I feel like I'm completely ready to forgo winter with all its chill and darkness. I'm well prepared for warmer weather, sunshine, nature awakening and I guess those desires translate into the kitchen.

You know what the majority of energy bites lack? Texture. And even though I'm totally into chewy semi-sweet goodness, sometimes I like a bit of crunch and just a tad of saltiness to break the expected rut. And here you really do have the best of flavors from the toasted almond flakes, crunchy pretzels, gourmand peanut butter, powerful chia seeds and more. These are not only good for you (have you seen the dreamy ingredient list by any chance?), but they're also gorgeous and would make a stunning homewarming/birthday present. And they're easy to store so you can also bring them to work for a healthy snack.

For the majority of time I get my proteins from poultry and fish but when I eat red meat, I always (always!) go for rump steak. It's my fave, soo darn delicious, easy and quick to prepare, incredibly satisfying, has rich aroma and is heavy-duty regarding nutrition. I prefer to pair it with good basmati rice and veggies but I'd even eat it with some nice crispy pitta bread greased with melted butter (yum!). This plate, however, is packed with protein, carbs and fiber plus it'll give you enough fuel for even the most grueling of workout sessions.

I love making muffins - they are certainly one of my most favored desserts. What I really love about them is that you can so easily make them entirely out of healthy ingredients, without compromising fabulous taste. The person who triggered my muffin-making affinities was mu husband who is an amazing cook. Everything he makes is absolutely divine so when he asks me for feedback on a dish, I always mumble praise through many "mmmmhs" and "oooohs".These muffins were a joint result - they're exceptionally simple, don't get me wrong, it's that this time we pushed and pulled on the choice of toppings. In the end, we both decorated the heck out of these beauties.

I eat pasta and I really love it, but in moderation. Pasta is simply put - carbs. Carbohydrates, often referred to as "carbs", are your body's primary energy source and they're a crucial part of any healthy diet. Carbs (or any nutrients) should never be avoided but I think choosing smart in quality and in quantity is key to a balanced diet. If you're working out, eating pasta before a workout or after a workout would be smart (has a lot to do with glycemic index, will cover that at a later date). And if you had bread or pastry during the day (e.g. for breakfast), sensible thing to do is to leave pasta for tomorrow.

When I think of cookies and cakes, baking comes to mind - and that's exactly what deterred me from making desserts in the past. I love the magical scent of baked cokkied but few failed attempts were discouraging. However I've discovered the wonderful world of raw, no-bake cakes which have revolutionized my vision of homemade sweets. Another bonus? Desserts can be very flavorful, nutritious and delicious and extremely filling - without the use of regular sugar and/or flour.

Tomorrow will mark two years that I've decided to change my lifestyle and yes, it was a New Year's resolution - as cheesy as it may be. But I've stuck with it! It's been and still is something I constantly work on but the results are so worth it. Healthy, balanced diet and regular workout have elevated the quality of my life and the key thing here is - food.
