I’m going to Rome in April! It will be officially six whole years since my trip to the most beautiful city in the world. Six years, people, I was 16 back then. Do you realize how old I am getting? However, now I’ll definitely fit in between the ancient buildings and rich history. So to prepare…

My Christmas Playlist
Christmas dinners to me are not just about food, music is just as important! Music is such a vital part of the atmosphere. It can put you in the right spirit for the holidays and make you happy instantly! So I decided to make my very own Christmas playlist on Spotify with my favourite songs, that you…
Sweet Sunday – Christmas Cookies
It’s Christmas time! The most wonderful time of the year is upon us! Oh, how I love Christmas. Darkness outside but warm indoors. Family, friends, and food. Lights in the tree and cinnamon-scented candles. Impressive dinners and glasses of red wine. And cookies. Cause what would a holiday (or any day for that matter) be…
Sweet Sunday – Chocolate Peanut Rocks
Happy Sweet Sunday! It’s time for another delicious sweet dish. Today’s recipe is for Chocolate Peanut Rocks, which is an incredibly easy recipe, that takes almost no time to make. Perfect for lazy days where you just feel like enjoying something sweet and chocolatey. I’ve learned this recipe from a friend at primary school. It…
Saint Nicholas’ Eve
Yesterday my family and I celebrated Sinterklaas. A day later than the actual holiday, which I’ve told you a little about in the last Sweet Sunday post along with a recipe for the traditional cookies we eat around this time: kruidnoten. On Pakjesavond, or Saint Nicholas’ Eve, our family has the tradition (like most other…
Top 11 Dream Kitchens
So I’ve got this board on Pinterest, right. It has about 215 pins of kitchens. Just kitchens. There is not a place in the world where I can be happier than in my kitchen. Well, except for maybe my bed. Girls are supposed to have their dreams of the future filled with what their wedding…
Sunday Update
Happy Sunday! I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend (or workdays) just as much as I am! Unfortunately, my ideas for a new Sweet Sunday recipe kind of fell through. Boohoo. However, there’s already lots of delicious recipes on the blog! Why not try to make the Red Berry Pavlova to get in the swing…
Start the Day with a Smile & Finish with a Champagne
Plannings and promises. They can be difficult to keep at times. Oh, I’ll do this and that and I want to do this then but after that I definitely need to do that. And then real life kicks in. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? So have I. I’m probably the best person to talk…
Sweet Sunday – Dutch Cake
I think, along with a lot of other Dutch bakers, that there has always been some confusion when it comes to the definition of cakes. See, in Holland a cake is basically what a pound cake is in the UK or the USA. However, the term “cake” in these countries is far more general, as…
Sweet Sunday – Dutch Pancakes
Oh hi there! Sorry for vanishing for more than a week! I had no creativity or motivation to do anything for my blog last week. Well, that and I was just lazy. Shame on me… But anyways, I’m back now! And I’ve got loads of ideas for the upcoming Sweet Sundays, so we’re good to…
Smoked Salmon Quiche
I looooooove quiches. To me, they are the quickest, easiest, dinner to put together. Just toss in any vegetable, meat, fish, you have, and you’ll end up with a delicious hearty pie. Once you’ve mastered the basic recipe, set your mind free and be inspired by whatever ingredient you have in your fridge or cupboard….
Lasagna al Forno
I’ll just straight up say it. I am not a big fan of lasagna. I do not NOT like it, but I don’t particularly love it. To some of you this might seem strange, as I have just confessed my undying love for pasta in the previous hearty post. However, I finally found out why…
