Cottage Cheese. The Right Way

Almost but not really a recipe. I just had to post it! I made lasagna the other day and still had some cottage cheese leftover with no idea what to use it for. Never been a really big fan of cottage cheese, even though I know it adopts other flavors very well and is low in fat and high in protein. So… here’s what I did: I simply added some…

    Cherry Tomato & Olive Clafoutis

    A classic Clafoutis is a rustic French dessert made with cherries, but guess what; there’s no rule that says you can’t turn it into something savory as well. I’ll often turn sweet recipes into savory ones because I just have a meat tooth instead of a sweet tooth. Think of this recipe as a sort of Quiche without the pastry base. What we’re talking about here is a creamy batter,…

      Vegetable & Tuna Roll

      I’ve been meaning to try this recipe -or at least try a modified version of it- ever since I saw it printed in a magazine several weeks ago. It seemed so savory, hearty and simple. Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch or lunch or dinner (might want to add a salad). Then life got in the way, but finally I got around to making it. I made a few tweaks,…

          Quick Wedge Salad

          Another one of those: “Bring a little USA to the Netherlands,” recipes is a wedge salad. If you’re Dutch, chances are you’ll be frowning now, wondering just what the heck a wedge salad is. You see, here in Holland we never, ever eat our lettuce in wedge form. It’s just not something you’ll see happening here. Not in our homes, not in our restaurants, nowhere really. Bringing plates filled with…

            More Than Salad

            First, let me start by saying that this is not a low-fat recipe. Okay, that’s out of the way. The good news? Some recipes are worth all the hours you’re gonna have to spend in the gym trying to burn off the calories you consumed in only one sitting. This is one of them. It’s got bacon, and avocado. Which, I gather, doesn’t come as a total surprise to you….
