Crazy about food

It's a basic fact - we need to eat. And even if you don't like to cook, I can guarantee that you don't mind eating whatever some eager chef (professional or home) puts in front of you... As long as you don't have to do the dishes.

And yet in today's day and age with processed foods, kick start diets and who knows what else, it seems we can't just dig in to what's put in front of us without running the risk of some nasty side-effects (either short or long term). Being sensitive to wheat and some gluten I can attest to this myself - it becomes more and more of a challenge to find food in restaurants that is tasty and affordable. I love food - cooking it, eating it, sharing it - and so decided to turn this passion to dishes, bakes and treats that get my taste buds going while being healthy at the same time. Baked cheesecake that's almost suitable for breakfast, chocolate brownies packed with goodness, even-better-than-milkshake smoothies...

The point of this blog? To keep track of all these "Stir Me Healthy" adventures - a combination of my own experiments, other recipes out there and overall inspiration to (hopefully) get you stirring up some healthy goodness in your own kitchen as well. I try to avoid wheat and sugar as far as possible and love cooking with fruit and veggies (did you know some veggies even work great in desserts?), so these are the kind of recipes you can expect here. I get a lot of inspiration from Vegan recipes, but you'll find quite few dishes featuring meat as well, so I won't try and put any specific labels on it other than good, wholesome food that can be enjoyed guilt-free! 

Please feel free to share your own recipes and ideas - I would love to hear your approach to healthy cooking and baking as well!
