Roasted Squash, Red Onion and Pomegranate Salad
A Cozy Day for a Nourishing Salad The quiet was soft as snowfall, broken only by the sound of the cat’s gentle paws padding across the wood floor. It was the kind of morning made for lingering under blankets, curled up by the fire with a steaming latte warming your...
Mediterranean Flatbread Sandwich
We flew off to Newport, Rhode Island and the Connecticut coast to visit with family and to celebrate some special birthdays. Those warm, humid summer days that turn into misty cool evenings with foghorns blowing in the Long Island Sound, are evocative of a past life I...
Grilled Flatbread
Lovely, flavorful flatbread can be used in so many ways. It can be used to scoop up hummus and other dips, flat and crisp, almost like a pizza with various toppings, or similar to a pita or tortilla, filled with delicious goodies. Grilling the flatbread is a quick way...
WELCOME TO A NOURISHED LIFE
I’m Eva, a cook, writer, and lifelong seeker of the good in life, living along Portugal’s windswept coast. Here, I share mostly plant-based, often gluten-free recipes that nourish both body and spirit, along with reflections on healing, aging, and intentional living.
To me, a nourished life means living with presence and grace. It’s a quiet walk by the sea, a meaningful conversation, and the joy of both the salad and the slice of cake.
I’m so glad you’re here.

Living Well, Simply
What we choose each day—how we eat, move, rest, and connect—shapes our health, our energy, and even our mood. Rooted in both tradition and science, I believe these daily choices are powerful tools for cultivating wellbeing.
Food is an essential part of that. Some meals are pure joy and celebration, while others are created with nourishment in mind—both have their place in a life of balance and intention. As Michael Pollan wisely said, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
A well-lived life extends beyond the plate. It’s found in balance—in how we care for ourselves and how we savor the beauty of our meals, our surroundings, and the company we keep.

In Grandma’s Kitchen
She was hunched over at the shoulders, shuffling about in her tiny kitchen, wearing pink satin slippers and a soft cotton housedress with small yellow flowers printed on it. Piece by piece, she tore the stale corn tortillas into strips and dropped them into the...
Polar Nights and Northern Lights of Tromsø
Since I was a child listening to my mother’s stories about the boats that would weave their way through the fjords to bring letters and necessary goods to little towns and villages up north where Santa lived, I have wanted to visit northern Norway. This Christmas, I did.
My Favorite Cinnamon Buns
A Taste of Norway in a Cinnamon Bun We’re in Norway for the holidays — my mother’s homeland, where the scent of cinnamon buns fills the air like a warm embrace. While you rarely see them frosted like the versions in the States, Norwegians take their cinnamon buns...
