Is there anything comforting than eating a delicious Italian style meal with rice, Parmesan cheese and savoury bacon? Yes! Am talking about Carbonaraaa! But this time with a twist, because I’m making a risotto and swapping the bacon with a Turkey substitute. Not entirely authentic, but I promise you it will be equally delicious!
If there’s one way to elevate that canned that canned tuna, then it has got to be this melty situation! It’s spicy, cheesy, and that creamy tuna salad is divine on some toasted rye bread. Have you ever tried a Tuna Melt? Then today is THE day 😉
Since we’re all still stuck at home for a few more weeks, we better make the most of it and have some good, tasty, wholesome and energizing lunches. I hope these ideas will give you some inspiration and will satisfy you and your family in these times. So, treat yourself today and get cracking in the kitchen!
My obsession for Thai food is quite notorious. I looove the authentic Thai flavors, because they’re complex, very aromatic and well balanced. There are three main curries used in Thailand: red, green and yellow and I’ll share three fusion recipes with the famous Thai curries. Am kicking it off with a Yellow Curry Risotto w/ Chili Shrimp! Are you in a for a fusion trip to Italy and Thailand?
This Done in Minutes Skillet/Pan Granola is a lifesaver for those who don’t have lot of time but are in need of their granola breakfasts! All it takes is a pan, some butter, spices, oats and your fave nuts or dried fruits 😉
What is it with grilled cheese sandwiches that makes you come back for more? Is it the bread? The cheese? The meat (if you use any)? Or just the fact that grilled cheese sandwiches evoke so many sweet, maybe even cheesy memories. Whatever the case may be, they keep me coming back for more. Over and over again…
Though am not huge on breakfast, I do always enjoy a French Toast. These soaked slices or eggy bread paired with fresh fruits and syrup are definitely not a bad way to kick start your morning. I made mine with a day-old baguette. It’s much thicker and it’s almost as if you’re eating pancakes. Can I tempt you with this recipe?
Deep-fried snacks will always have a special place in my heart. Anything with cheese, pieces of meat and a crispy outer layer makes my heart beat faster. And this snack, my lovely people is something you would want to make as an appetizer or “borrel hapje” (snack) at your parties. It’s easy, savory and mouth-watering. What else do you need?
On the day before Christmas, I decided to bring dessert to my parents place, because I’ve only bought savoury edible gifts and nothing sweet. This Easy Peasy Profiterole Wreath was done in seconds, because you’ll only need a few ingredients: some store bought profiteroles, white/dark chocolate, your fave toppings and you’re all set. Also, ask the little people at your party to fix dessert. They’ll have a good time doing it and you don’t have to stress about dessert 😉
So, this year I wanted to come up with a million recipes for your Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, a lot happened and with lockdown No.3 whilst dealing with other stuff, I didn’t have time to work on as many recipes as I wanted.
However, I did make a Christmas dinner for two (greedy persons 😉 consisting of a Chicken Roll stuffed with Cranberry Compote & Brie, Sweet Potato and Garlic Galette and Roasted Purple Brussel Sprouts. I shared this lovely meal with my two neighbours, who have become my good friends during this Pandemic. I guess, that’s the bright side of this whole drama; that we get to connect and reconnect with others and ourselves.
