For the past month, Paul and I have been getting back into a healthier routine. We try to exercise at least five times a week, get enough sleep and eat a little better. Not that we weren't eating healthy, but we also both love cheese, pizza, chocolate and beer, and that got a little out … Continue reading Easy energy bars (recipe included)

Vegetarian lasagna (recipe included)
The new year is upon us and I don't know about you guys, but I am done with 2022. Paul and I started our journey almost 4 years ago and had so many plans, but no one knew that a pandemic would postpone those plans. So 2023 will be the year to restart our big … Continue reading Vegetarian lasagna (recipe included)
Carrot cake (recipe included)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had the best Christmas, because this year was a special one. We are currently living in Spain where Paul's parents also live. To make it even more special. My mother is there too! Since it is not often (never) that both of our parents are together for … Continue reading Carrot cake (recipe included)
Dutch pepernoten (recipe included)
Lately I've been craving pepernoten and other Dutch treats, like licorice. It probably has everything to do with the arrival of my mother next week, and my best friend in January. I miss home sometimes. Not living there, but my family, friends and Dutch food/snacks). Pepernoten are actually very similar to ginger cookies (according to … Continue reading Dutch pepernoten (recipe included)
Fluffy buns for lunch
While taking a break from blogging, I actually have been cooking a lot. It was nice to take some time and think of new recipes. We both have adopted a healthier lifestyle and really had to think about a nice recipe for lunch. In between our classes we don’t have a lot of time to … Continue reading Fluffy buns for lunch
My hearty ‘Bolognese’ pasta (including recipe)
I’m back!! I know it has been a while since I wrote something. To be honest, I simply didn’t feel inspired to write. Sometimes life can get really busy and it’s important to know when to hit the ‘pause’ button. So that’s exactly what I did. At least for my blog. In the meantime, Paul … Continue reading My hearty ‘Bolognese’ pasta (including recipe)
Moroccan Veggie ‘Tagine’ with couscous (including recipe)
I know, the name of this recipe is a bit misleading, because I didn’t prepare this dish in a tagine, but if you have one, it’s recommended to use it! As you know we don’t always have the right kitchen equipment or ingredients, because of our travels, but it forces me to be creative. When … Continue reading Moroccan Veggie ‘Tagine’ with couscous (including recipe)
Soft Tortilla Wraps (including recipe)
My cooking is slowly improving, and it makes it easier to try and make new things. As vegetarians, options can be a bit limited when you want to save a bit of money. Because let’s face it, we live in a world where unhealthy food is often cheaper than healthy food. The same goes for … Continue reading Soft Tortilla Wraps (including recipe)
Garlic Naan (including recipe)
As I was saying in my previous post, I feel inspired to cook again! Over the last couple of days, I have made some really yummy meals! I’m not even going to be modest about it, haha!! Paul also really likes my cooking and that is a great motivator to keep going and trying new … Continue reading Garlic Naan (including recipe)
Meals with something extra
Today I’m going to share some of my experiences with food in other countries. Not any food. No! Food with something extra! Mmmmmmm…. The story begins in Greece. It was 2001. We (my first boyfriend and I) went to Crete. I still remember the name of the town, because it was so weird: Koutouloufari. It … Continue reading Meals with something extra
