Everything from scratch! That's what makes me happy. Of course it's not possible to make everything at home, but as much as possible please and pizza dough: for sure! It doesn't take much time and is totally worth it when you make a whole batch (it's totally worth it anyways). This recipe gives you 8 small/medium sized (very thin & crispy) pizza bottoms. You can store the dough balls separately in the freezer and defrost the dough in about 20 minutes by room temperature when you feel like pizza!
Made this one for the first time yesterday (ate it once before, at a good friends place - in combination with lamb - nice combi!). Had dinner with a few friends. Something we plan more regular now. Great spending time with other food-lovers. Oh ánd funny people - laughed my ass off... thanks!!!! (Can't really go for the 'show don't tell'-principle here - you had to be there ;) -
W00PS!!! Haven't had much time for blogging lately. Did some cooking here and there. But ate all before I had the chance to make a nice photo... sorry ;). Ok. Honestly... I just wish I'd have all day, all week just for cooking and blogging about it. That's definitely my dream. No. My goal. Will keep working on that one though :).
Eating chocolate is always a good idea.
I love to meet people and talk about (making) food! That happens quite a lot. No wonder.
Last month in London I met food-lover: J. The best-brownies-ever and gnocchi were the topics. As we were talking I understood J. made (as in REALLY MADE) his own gnocchi. Something that I assumed was pretty time-consuming and complex (never made my own pasta before). I was impressed. But good news: it's not that difficult at all!!!!

Just went to the gym. Got home and felt like a healthy snack. And guess what I found in my fridge... These yummie bars I made yesterday! Yep home made No Bake Peanut Butter Bars. A damn good snack. And you know what? You make the plain bars in 10 minutes. Want to add the chocolate coat? Add about 5 minutes more. Easy peasy! :)
My previous boyfriend Jurriaan, he passed away 5,5 years ago, was a real great cook. I was super spoiled with him and hardly ever cooked myself. The things I did cook failed often. Pretty much gave it up ;). Or I'd call him, when I was living in a student flat and cooking for friends, to ask him how exactly I had to make a certain dish.
I couldn't be happier, so why should I be cooking ("Do more of what makes you happy" >> cooking for me)?! No, just kiddin'. We gotta eat!. And cooking, yes it still makes me even háppier. :-D.
