Whenever my parents are having dinner somewhere else, I start to panic. Because what do I eat when they’re gone and I’m home alone. Most of the times this results in me eating a sandwich or crackers. For someone with her own food blog, this might seem a bit strange. But too be honest, the…

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…
Sweet Sunday – Dutch Kruidnoten
Sweet Sunday is holiday themed this time! Next week, on the 5th of December, the Dutch celebrate a holiday called Sinterklaas. Some of you may be familiar with it, as it has been on the news quite a bit lately… Anyways, let’s not dive into that right now. Sinterklaas is basically the Dutch version of…
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….
Sweet Sunday – Spiced Carrot Muffins
Happy Sunday to you all! I’m thoroughly enjoing my very relaxing Sunday, my parents have gone out today, so I’ve go the house all to myself. This means that I’m currently blasting my music through the speakers and singing alone quite beautifully (not true) and quietly (also not true). How’s your day so far? For…
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…
