White Beans in Limelight

Hungry folks, how are you?

I am so sorry! When I logged onto my blog-account today, I had to confront myself with the shocking fact that it's been about two months since my last post! God, time flies, right?

But, good news, I am right at the beginning of long, hopefully warm and sunny, semester-holidays! 

And, believe me, I could really use them right now! I am (almost) totally yours for the time coming! (At least in nutritional terms)

Looking back on the last few weeks, I see an seemingly unending rollercoaster with tons of loopings, ups and downs (Although, when using this kind of metaphor I am never sure if the ups stand for the positive or the downs,  for on rollercoasters it is actually the downs you crave, is it not? Well, never mind.) and, well, I admit it, super-.unhealthy nutrition and little sport. 

But, guys, I am back on track with a huge bag of healthy recipes, a heavy workout-plan, soon-to-be muscle-aches and a soon-to-be Arnold-Schwarzenegger-Body (Be glad you do not see me, can the Terminator even cook?).

The recipe I created for you guys today shall manifest that impressingly. At least I hope so. I will from now on cherish the following foods:

*fruit

*veggies

*seeds

*nuts

*legumes

*raw cocoa

*fish

Of course that means that you, hungry fellows, are gonna be affected by all this, too. But I promise you colourful, light, reviving and refreshing as well as inspiring summer-recipes!
