Once I organized a high tea and baked an alternative brownie - with honey. It was a request for a friend to have some -refined-sugarless dishes. Well, what did I know. Honey?.... I didn't like it to much. I did make a photo for my blog, but the recipe never made it to the www. "If I eat (or make or post) a brownie, I want a classic brownie," I'd always say. Nothing beats the real thing.
No pulp? Use grated carrot or beetroot!
You just wanna cook all day, are granddaughter of a baker, try not to waste any food and juicing fanatically since the past month. Pretty inevitable that you start to experiment with juice pulp! Sounds like me ;).
Woops... in my first blog I said... : "I’m the type of girl that likes to be busy with eating and drinking áááll day. And I don’t mean, “oooh-i-have-a-crazy-craving” or “when is-it-wine-o-clock ?!” This doesn't seem quite right anymore. I still don't drink gallons of wine, but my comment about cravings > down the drain!
I started to drink half a liter of green juice + glass of water (body temperature) with lemon on an empty stomach twice a week.
Working till late
I'm in a pretty busy work phase. I build websites, have been
I'm the type of girl that likes to be busy with eating and drinking áááll day. And I don't mean, "oooh-i-have-a-crazy-craving" or "when is-it-wine-o-clock ?!" No, put me in the kitchen with a pile of fresh products and I'm HAPPY.
It has to be super tasty
Rule number one in my kitchen: tasty comes before healthy.
Infused water - This week I found these massive and small 'Mason' jars at de Blokker here in Amsterdam (10 euros for the large jar + tap, nice!). It's perfect for colorful infused water. I sliced a lot of lemons, limes and oranges: et voila! Didn't drink this much water in ages!
To my opinion, not everything needs to be sugar free, gluten free.... "everything"-free. I guess I'm blessed with being able to eat everything. I believe that when you eat all the 'bad' stuff balanced (+ as clean/pure as possible + enjoy what ever you eat/drink)... the recipe to a stressfree happy foodie life!
Anyhow, some people (more and more ) really need to be careful about what they eat.
When the sun starts to shine, I prefer to start the day with a fresh and healthy smoothie. This is actually the first time I made a smoothie with cucumber. Makes it super fresh. Love it!
I'm a bit hooked on puddings.... Tried my first one years ago with a Christmas dinner. Completely ruined it (only the dessert ;)). Yes, I can say: I have improved!!! This buttermilk panna cotta worked out so nice. And so did this yoghurt pudding... If you want to surprise you guests, this dessert is absolute a must do!!! You can prepare everything, so it won't take much time during the dinner.
