After all those Cinco de Mayo Mexican festivities a little while back, I kind of became obsessed with Mexican food. I’ve always loved guacamole (for obvious reasons) and maize and tomato and rice and all those classic Mexican (or at least in my non-Mexican eyes classic) ingredients. The reason this post comes this late though is something many of you will probably also have problems are familiar with: finals week, deadlines, essays, revisions, etc.
After two Asian recipes (quinoa sushi and a supers simple sushi bowl) I would now like to present to you a recipe that can be found a bit closer to home… Or, at least for me!
After I made my quinoa sushi, I still had some avocado, cucumber and spring onions left. I really hate throwing food away that is still perfectly fine to eat, so I decided to make a sushi bowl (as I was too lazy to actually make some more sushi haha).
Sushi might be my favorite food ever. I am in love with the umami flavor of the seaweed, the rich texture of the avocado, the saltiness of the soy sauce and the crunchy sesame seeds, which combined with some sticky white rice makes one hells of a yummy roll of sushi.
I am so happy! It has finally become spring here in the Netherlands, and with temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees Celcius you can even call that warm haha. So in line with the weather, I had to make something that was spring-like, and since it is Sunday, and I wanted to have a nice breakfast, I made pancakes! Loving the #pancakesunday trend.
These sweet little banana bread muffins are perfect as a to-go breakfast, or as a delicious snack. Topped with some organic greek yoghurt, like I did, they even look like sweet banana cupcakes! But, don’t let them fool you, as these are much better for you, while tasting even better.
When I was younger, I really enjoyed having granola for breakfast, preferably the one chock full of sugar, refined wheats and even some chocolate pieces if I was lucky. I would gobble it down with some milk or yoghurt and go off to school. Back then, I even thought that that granola was a healthy breakfast, a good choice to start the day. Now I really can’t imagine myself eating store-bought granola for breakfast (or any other meal for that matters), and this is for a couple of reasons, but the most important isn’t even health reasons, it is definitely TASTE.
Once you have made granola yourself once, and you know how good it tastes compared to all the granolas they carry in your local supermarket, you’ll never want anything else!
