Chili Meatball Casserole
Don’t think I ever asked if you have a weekly ‘clean-out-the-fridge’ dish as well, did I? I personally love ‘em, especially with a wind-chill factor of 3°F (- 17°C), like today. No way I’ll go grocery shopping, too much of a wuss for that. Anyway, my dish turned out so good this time, I couldn’t not post it. Usually the vegetables that need to be used up end up in…
Ragu alla Bolognese
I saw this recipe in the June issue of Delicious magazine. Now let me start by saying that after this issue I pretty much abandoned their magazine. I’ll flip through the pages at the supermarket but haven’t bought one since. It’s the over-exposed and totally fake colored food photography they print these days that puts me off and makes me cringe. I just don’t like it anymore. I want…
Winter Cranberry Beef Stew
I’ve seen the cranberry sauces come along, each and every one of them. And even though I really do like cranberry sauce, there’s so much more you can do with these little red flavor bombs. How about incorporating some of them in a straightforward beef stew? This turned out to be an absolutely mind-blowing combination, all the flavors came together in a beautiful way. The sweetness of the cranberries is…
Twice Baked Beef Potatoes
There wasn’t a great deal left to cook with in my fridge, but the thought of having to face the cold wind and rain that had beaten on my window pane all day, was all the conviction I needed to stay home and make do with whatever I still had. Did I mention my only form of transportation at that moment was my mommy bike? Right. Fortunately it turned out to be…
Dutch Girl’s All American Sloppy Joes
One of the foods I’ve craved ever since I first set foot on American soil are Sloppy Joes. Sure, I know they’re considered the epitome of man-food, but oh well, I’ve always been a tomboy anyway. I actually like ‘man-food’. It’s no-nonsense food, served up in no-nonsense style. Doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy, as long as you don’t throw in a stick of butter or 2 cups of heavy cream, that is. I’ve…
Dutch Meatballs & Gravy
In my country any recipe that starts with the word “Grandma’s” is a guaranty to success. It’s a universal rule: everything tastes better the way grandma made it. I’ve received so many emails asking me for an authentic and traditional Dutch meatballs recipe. Crazy amount of emails! What’s the fascination for Dutch meatballs? Now let me start by saying there is no such thing. There are a gazillion different recipes out there. A…
