Yesterday, I finally saw rhubarb at my local grocery store that was actually fresh and ripe, so I immediately went for it – obviously! – and decided to put it to good use immediately. Personally, I just really love the classic combination of rhubarb and strawberries, so I decided to do something with that, and I was also inspired by a dish my grandmother and mothers used to make very often: Brusselse appelen (Brussels apples). Basically it is just an apple crumble recipe with a very yummy, but quite unhealthy and very non-vegan crust.
These muffins… These are so delicious, I can’t even explain. Did you ever had the Ben & Jerry’s flavor Cherry Garcia? Personally, I’ve always loved the combination of cherries and chocolate, and for this muffin I was inspired by the classic Ben & Jerry’s flavor. Now, I know these may not look like the prettiest muffins, but men, these are really really good! And if you feel a little fancy, you can just drizzle them with some dark chocolate, like I did with some of them.
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.
