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)

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)
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)
Spicy chickpea balls (including recipe)
After eating lentil burgers and homemade seitan for the last couple of months, it was time to try something else as a meat substitute. For months I’ve seen this recipe on Instagram, but never tried it. Until today and it was yummy! I can’t take credit for this recipe, but I did alter it a … Continue reading Spicy chickpea balls (including recipe)
Easy Hummus (including recipe)
Change of scenery does a lot to a person. Three weeks ago we moved to Albania, right on the seaside. Looking out of the window every morning, seeing the sea and feeling the sunshine really makes us happy. Of course we’re working, but as soon as we are done, we walk out on the roof … Continue reading Easy Hummus (including recipe)

Vegan Chocolate Mousse (including recipe)
Oh my! This was so incredibly tasty! I have to share this easy recipe with you. Because we are eating a lot more chickpeas, I wanted to do something with the aquafaba instead of throwing it away.

Filled Courgette Rolls with Italian couscous (including recipes)
It’s still really fun cooking vegetarian food, but sometimes it can be a bit challenging to come up with new ideas. Back in the Netherlands we ate couscous regularly, and loved it. It’s just something different than potatoes, pasta or soup. It has been almost 3 years since we’ve had couscous, so I bought a … Continue reading Filled Courgette Rolls with Italian couscous (including recipes)
Peanut Butter Stir Fry (including recipe)
The last couple of months I’ve had a craving for Asian food! Maybe it’s because there is hardly any good Asian food in this part of the world. As a Dutch person, our Asian food is influenced a lot by Indonesian flavors, and I therefore love peanut sauce! In the Netherlands, peanut sauce was ordered … Continue reading Peanut Butter Stir Fry (including recipe)
Easy Summer Pasta
On our days off, we prefer not to spend too much time on cooking. Last week we had a lovely day out, did some shopping, walked around, and had a few beers. Lovely! When we got home, I looked at the stove and thought: ‘No! I can’t be bothered!’. But I also do not like … Continue reading Easy Summer Pasta
