I love the fresh smell of zested lemons. The freshness just really lifts my spirit. One of my favourite flavour combinations with lemons is poppyseeds. Not only do the flavours go well together, I think that incorporating poppy seeds in recipes adds that extra bit of crunch. In this cup cake recipe, I used quite…

VEGAN DINNER: super easy and quick udon noodle soup bowl with shiitake (one pan!)
I love udon noodles. I have said it before when I shared my meal prep udon noodle soup with you HERE. The soft texture of these thick noodles is something I can really crave sometimes. Another bonus is their short (or non-existent) cooking times. Check the packaging of your noodles to see if you have…
HIGH PROTEIN PASTA REPLACEMENT/WEIRD TOFU INSIPRATION
As you might have seen in someprevious blogposts, I recently spend some time in China, and even though groceryshopping required a lot of text-scanning and translating, I did want to step outof my comfort zone to try some new products. One of the things I definitely discoveredwas “tofu skin”. When I first saw this I…
AUTUMN DINNER PARTY: a convenient way to present loose-leaf tea
This Saturday my parents are hosting a dinner party for around 35 people and after the several courses, there is of course coffee and tea. We wanted to serve loose leaf tea (since the flavours are then a bit more special than the tea you buy in the store) but having 35 people scoop their…
AUTMUMN TABLE DECORATION – a perfect pattern for left over yarn
This is going to be a super short post, but I just want to share my love for a crochet pattern I found on Pinterest lately. It is a pattern for crochet pumpkins that look knit, and since I love pumpkins, crocheting and knitting, this was the perfect pattern for me! I am going to…
5-ingredient MEAL PREP IDEA: bulgur-chickpea salad with lemon, basil and beetroot
I love meal prepping lunches, not only because I think the flavour is better than sandwiches, but also because it makes it easier for me to include a source of plant-based protein in my lunch. For this lunch I used chickpeas, because I love how they combine with almost any flavour. If you wanted to…
RECIPE: 5-ingredient super quick udon miso soup bowl, also great for meal preps!
I love udon noodles. I don’t know what it is, but somehow I love noodles the chunkier or the thinner they are. Udon noodles have the added bonus of being sold precooked, making them the perfect ingredient for a quick dinner. The only thing that actually takes time is cutting and cooking the string beans,…
RECIPE: quick fennel red curry bowl
I personally think everything looks cuter in a bowl; Buddha bowls, sushi bowls, poke bowls, you name it. That is why, when I made this curry, I thought I would serve it in a bowl-style. I think the different components, rice, curry and vegetables, look so fresh and tasty together! For this vegetable curry I…
VEGAN STARTER: crispy baked vegetable spring rolls
This is part of my 3-course dinner series, where I show you the vegan 3-course dinner I cooked my parents. My parents are not vegan, but trough my cooking I like to show them that you can eat delicious vegan things! Working with filo pastry can be a bit tricky, especially when the pastry is…
THE PERFECT BABY SHOWER GIFT: hand knit baby booties
I recently had a knitting workshop at a local knitting supplies shop, when I saw these baby booties standing around. I immediately fell in love with them, and of course wanted the pattern. They gave me the pattern without any payment and without a source, so I will link the site from the shop HERE….
