Super Bowl Sunday Recipes
Time flies, that’s for sure. Can’t believe it’s almost Super Bowl Sunday again. Let’s hope that whoever sings the American national anthem this year won’t mess up the way Christina Aguilera did last year. Ouch, that was really painful to watch (and hear), even for me, and I’m Dutch!
But I do have a few recipe suggestions for you! You know, for when you want something to nibble on not to mention something to satisfy your hungry guests.

The Grub:
These pretty little numbers hit all the right spots. Lots of meat in this one.
These! You’ll be needing lots of these. Mini meatballs glazed with a jalapeño and cherry coke reduction.
Go for hot and spicy with this Jamaican Jerk Chicken. Just grill them on your stove top!
Easy Asian chicken strips. Pile them up high for full effect!
Burgers stuffed with cheese and topped with avocado, lettuce, grilled onion and tomatoes.
Ditch the couscous and just make the chicken instead! Lots of flavor here.
How about Sloppy Joe mini meatballs? With or without bread. Your call.
A big bowl of easy and fast home-made salsa is always a hit!
Or how about a few pulled chicken in sauce sandwiches?
Easy Greek style wraps that you can make in advance!
Whatever you’ll be eating… have fun at Super Bowl 2012! Enjoy it for me, too, because I’ll be sound asleep around then.
They’ll Make Me Go To Rehab!
And not only because my intentions to eat healthier in 2012 already seem to have morphed themselves into something quite he opposite. I’ve failed 5 years in a row now! But it’s not my fault. Not completely. They keep coming up with these kinds of dessert. Like this dessert of the month, Zeeuwse bolus pudding. They’re a Dutch pastry; a spiral dough drizzled with treacle, brown sugar and cinnamon. They…
The Dark Side
I’m a little late to the party, I know, but I finally did move over to the dark side (they didn’t even have cookies!). I ordered an iPhone. Yes, I did. If all goes well it will be delivered today. Suffice to say I’m still praying to the Gods of postal services. I did some iTunes searching and already got the standard apps; the instamatic, whatsapp and twitter stuff. Just…
Crock-pot
Wait! Don’t start your weekend just yet. I need you for a split moment. A couple of years back they started selling slow cookers here. Okay, so I admit we were a little late to the party! Suffice to say I bought one (a Kenwood) immediately but really, I was duly unimpressed. The darn thing got so hot that low and slow seemed like an impossible task. Recipes that were supposed…
Merry Christmas!
Christmas Eve is almost here for us, so we lit the candle holder our munchkin made at school and want to take a moment to wish you and yours a Christmas filled with light, love and hopefully a miracle… or two!
It’s Fake And Small
One of the cons to living in the Netherlands and especially the Randstad (conurbation) is that the houses are relatively small and oftentimes have such undersized living rooms that I just don’t know where to fit a huge Christmas tree in here. Especially not since I bought a decent sized corner sofa. At first glance this might look like a full-size tree. Probably due to the angle I took the…
