You probably already know that I try to follow the paleo diet. I do that because I feel much better when I eat according to the paleo lifestyle. But, it has its downsides don’t you think? For example, I find it quite difficult to keep a certain variety in my …

The day I discovered that I was lactose-intolerant there were a couple things I never thought I would eat again. Chocolate mousse was one of them. Luckily I found this dairy free chocolate mousse recipe WITH red wine. No doubt in my mind that this was the recipe for me! Have …

Every december I host a dinner party for my girlfriends. You can imagine that when a food blogger is hosting a dinner party the expectations are quite high. So I start collecting recipes for the menu weeks beforehand (maybe even months). Last year I decided to have chocolate dipped cherries as …

I used to think that oatmeal was disgusting. To be honest, I can’t remember trying it, but it (with it I mean porridge as I didn’t know there were different options) always seemed gross to me. When eating oats for breakfast became a trend and so many people around me started …

When my entire country and I cheered on the Dutch football team in the World Cup I had orange food on my mind. What could I eat/serve that was orange and delicious at the same time? I decided on these small sweet potato bites with tomato and guacamole. If you …

Avocado’s are healthy! That’s one thing we know for sure and besides that I think they are delicious too. I’ve been posting a lot of avocado recipes lately (it might have something to do with the amount of avocados I eat) I think I actually eat 3 of them a …

There are not that many activities that give me the same relaxed feeling as cooking. I can easily spend hours in the kitchen and be completely stressless. Trying new combinations and new recipes are my favorite things to do. But people often ask me.. ‘where do you get your inspiration …

I don’t know if you love sweet stuff or if you’re more of a savory kind of person. At this moment (and believe me, it could change at any minute) i’m a little bit more on the savory side. I know what you’re thinking (uhm, you’re talking about savory stuff …

One of the things I seem to miss the most is pizza. One of those ‘simple’ tuna or mozzarella pizza’s by Dr. Oetker seem heavenly to me. If I eat them I probably won’t feel the same way but a girl can dream right? A couple of years ago I …

Visiting friends or relatives is always difficult when they don’t eat gluten and lactose free. The chances of me getting sick whilst I’m there is quite high due to cross contamination. Another bad (wouldn’t necessarily call it bad but just not great) part is the fact that because I have a huge …

I never buy cookies as I don’t like the ‘ready-to-go’ gluten, soy and lactose free cookies from the supermarket. They are too dry, too crumbly (is that even a word?) and they just fall apart the second you look at them. But it is difficult when you crave cookies big …

Like many other foodies I love Instagram! Do not go on instagram when you’re hungry as some pictures are just too good to be true. These chocolate orange bites are almost too good to be true! The lovely user who posted these goods is ‘She can’t eat what‘! I had …

As we speak the weather in the Netherlands sucks (excuse my language). But on the other side of the world it’s summer! When we’re talking summer we’re talking about ice cream. But every now and then you need something different than sorbet or soy ice cream. I have found a …

I happen to love chips/fries but it’s just not good you. Besides the ‘healthy’ variaties they sell in the Netherlands (chips made from corn, carrot and beans) I wanted to make chips from different veggies. What ingredient is better suitable for chips than sweet potato? Nothing right? I decided to put my …

Sometimes I feel like having fruit as a side dish with my dinner. This week I had one of those days. Couple days earlier I went to a market and stumbled upon really cheap pineapple (which actually means: I had to buy one). I love fresh pineapple but for some weird …

Since I had severe food poisoning my body doesn’t really like sugars anymore. Besides that I just don’t have a lot of energy and some serious annoying mood swings! Time to lower my daily sugar intake to stabilize the sugar count in my blood! With these issues in mind I went to …

When the Dutch watch football (or soccer, anyway you like it) we eat and drink (who doesn’t?) ! A typical Dutch football evening would not be complete without the famous snack ‘Bitterballen’. For people who have not heard of ‘Bitterballen’ before I’ll introduce it for you: Bitterballen (plural of bitterbal) are a …

I am such a fan of small bites and really like serving them on birthdays or small gatherings. Besides my ‘standard’ bites – small sausage rolls and pesto covered pastry – I decided on trying something new. What I do quite often is frying apple parts in honey and it …

For the past couple of weeks I’ve really stepped up my breakfast game as I enjoy fresh fruit, veggies and super foods almost every morning! But every now and then I love something sweet for breakfast, does anyone recognize that feeling? Banana pancakes are trending on Instagram (you should follow …

Chicken is known for its many variaties and even as a gluten and lactose intolerant person there are so many ways to serve it. I try to eat chicken twice a week because a. it’s good b. contains lots of proteins! Marinated chicken, stuffed chicken, drumsticks pick whichever one you …
