What I Eat…
That’s right! Time for an oldie but a goodie here on the blog: a what I eat blog post. I haven’t done one of these in YEARS! A few years ago I had some stomach issues and I found that what I ate had a lot to do with how I was feeling and so…

5 Homemade Lunch Ideas
I love to cook, but over the years my food blog posts were severely diminished as I felt I wasn’t trying out enough new recipes and just didn’t have much interesting to show. However, I have a couple of standard homemade lunches that I love to take with me to work and I sometimes post…

Smoothie combinations
This time of year, I love a good smoothie. I always try to make mine filling so they can substitute entire meals. Over the years, I’ve tried many different recipes and combinations and I have come to find a couple that I like the most. Smoothie combinations

Recipe: Healthier Hamburgers
I love my comfort food and from time to time I like to cook up a feast in the form of hamburgers. But where I would usually make that with a bun and loads of different toppings, I figured that you could easily change things up. Inspired by a Blogilates recipe, I decided to replace…

Recipe: Banana-coconut cake (wheat & sugar free)
A healthy cake? When I spotted this recipe, I knew I had to try it. I’ve been meaning to do some more baking again, but I just haven’t had the time to find new recipes to try. Until I spotted this that is. I found it on a random health website, which linked to this…

Raspberry ripple cheesecake
Recipe time! For a fun music filled night with friends last weekend, I decided to do some baking again. I love to bake, but don’t get to do it enough. Time is an issue, but since I usually have to eat everything by myself, it isn’t a great idea as well. So that’s why my…

Recipe: Sticky chicken & curly sweet potato fries
Long time no recipe! And today’s recipe is a different type from what I usually post. I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I just need comfort food, especially if it’s cold outside. One of my favorite comfort foods that is certainly NOT good for you but still entirely delicious (though it looks gross until…

Recipe: Roasted chickpea salad
I’ve been totally into my quinoa salads, but one key ingredient in them is a bunch of roasted chickpeas. So I figured that my next variation on the quinoa theme shouldn’t focus on the quinoa, but on the chickpeas. This is a salad that has loads of leafy greens and some great flavors packed into…

Recipe: Pumpkin-pepper-lentil soup
If there is one recipe that screams fall, it’s a pumpkin soup. Because I already posted my recipe for a straight up pumpkin soup, I decided to change it up this time. Plus it has been a while since I last posted that recipe. So today I’m bringing you a pumpkin soup with a bit…

Recipe: Mozzarella salad
Salads are such quick and easy meals to make and especially when temperatures rise, it is the best convenience food. This week we’re having quite the Indian summer, and so what better moment to share one of my favorites? Think of it as an amped up salad caprese: there’s still the mozzarella, basil and tomato…

Recipe: another quinoa salad
Not too long ago, I posted a recipe for a quinoa salad with roasted chickpeas. This recipe was such a success, I’ve even had people recreate it, tagging me on Instagram! I decided to try my hand at a different quinoa salad, with lots of greens and feta cheese for some added protein. Quinoa salad…

The 3 ingredient salad
The 3 ingredient salad. A staple in my food arsenal. I haven’t had one in a while, but back when I was super strict with my no wheat/ no grains mantra, I had these on the regular. The reason why I am posting about it now, is because I need to get back on track…

Courgetti with creamy sauce & veggies
Already shown in my What I Eat #26 blog post last week, but today I am bringing you the recipe of one of the meals I featured in that blog post. The other week I tried out something new for me. Well, not completely new, as I have been having courgette turned into noodles for…

Recipe: creamy spaghetti
You know I love my quick and easy meals and today I have another recipe for you that will give you just that. Pasta is always a good idea in my book, and combined with cooking cream, some ham and plenty of veggies, you can do no wrong. This is my recipe for a creamy…

Recipe: cajun chicken salad
Salads boring? Nah, not in the least bit. The good thing about salads is that you can put together anything you want. One of my favorite salads is centered around cajun marinated chicken. All you need is some lovely veggies and you’re ready to go! It’s quick, it’s easy and healthy and delicious to boot.…

Recipe: red cabbage with apples
I hardly share any traditional Dutch recipes on here. That’s because I ate traditional food for such a long time. By the time I lived on my own and had to prepare my own meals, I was so fed up with it, that I all but banned it from my life. There are a few…

Recipe: Chorizo, Rice & Beans
Call it my version of a paella type dish, or just call it a nutritious power house: whatever you may call this, it is a tasty little dish that you can throw together in under 30 minutes that is packed with flavor, tons of goodness and a little bit of naughtiness. Wanna know how to…

Recipe: Spaghetti bolognese
If you’ve seen my recipes, then you know I am a big fan of easy recipes that are fairly quick to make as well. I have been having vacation this past week, which meant I had a little bit more time on my hands than usual to cook a delicious meal. I thought this turned…

Recipe: broccoli lentil soup
This time of year is the best time for making soups. One of my favorite types of soup to make is a lentil soup. I already shared a recipe for a red lentil, pepper & sweet potato soup earlier this year. But lately I’ve been experimenting more with using green lentils. My favorite combo? A…

Recipe: cheap & easy roasted cauliflower
Sometimes, I like to keep my cooking very very simple and basic. After having had too many potatoes growing up, I now only eat them occasionally and I like to change up the everlasting Dutch tradition of potatoes-veggies-meat by preparing my food in a slightly different way.

Recipe: chili con carne
When I found myself craving meat all of a sudden a few weeks ago, I knew instantly what I was going to make. I hadn’t had chili in a long time. Rice was one of the foods that my stomach didn’t agree with, but since I have been doing pretty okay these past few months…

Tapas for four
It has been a while since I threw a dinner party for some friends, but last Saturday I threw one again. My plans had to be altered slightly because I had been sick for 2 weeks. Friday was the first day on which I felt better and when I cook dinner for 4, I have…

Savory & sweet cheese salad
Salads have been a go to meal for me for years now and I have come across some great combinations. My general rule of thumb is to add plenty of greens in the shape of lettuce and spinach and then pack with with more veggies with my basis usually being tomatoes and cucumbers. I like…

Recipe: Apple-cranberry breakfast crumble
A perfect breakfast for fall? A homemade apple-cranberry breakfast crumble. Especially when served warm, this crumble is a delicious taste if you are in for a change of your usual morning meal. There’s some sweetness, some tartness, some crunchiness and let’s not forget about the massive amount of yumminess this brings together. And it really…

Recipe: Broccoli soup w/ bacon bits
It is fall which means that soups are high on my list to be made when it comes to cooking. A soup that I still wanted to try, was a broccoli soup. I used a basic broccoli soup recipe that I found on a random website, but since that used flour to bind the soup,…

Recipe: Rocky Road
One of the most indulgent treats on the planet? Rocky Road! I first discovered this at Starbucks, but I figured that it should be something that is easy to make yourself. Once I had found a recipe that worked, I have made this several times, and served to my friends when I celebrated my birthday…

Recipe: Hummus
One of my favorite things to eat is some veggies with a hummus dip. I take some with me to work and then have them as a mid afternoon snack. However, hummus is also great as a spread on crackers or bread with some alfalfa on top. In any case, hummus is super versatile and…

Recipe: easy tuna salad
In summer, I am all about quick and easy recipes. Salads are thus some of my favorite meals to have. Be it lunch or dinner, salads can be eaten all day long. At least, that is my humble opinion. And they are perfect for summer! There are many fresh ingredients around at that time and…
