Eggs, Bacon & Toast Cups
Spur of the moment posting so had to shoot this really quick. It shows. I must have jumped a foot high when I found these brilliant breakfast egg, bacon & toast cups on the Martha Stewart site. Had to do a little tweaking because the original recipe just didn’t out work for me. Plus, I added some cheese because, well, just because… This one’s going on our Christmas breakfast table….
Beef al Pomodoro
You must try this. I’ll be twisting your arm if you don’t because you’ll miss out on the best beef stew, ever. You will want to bathe yourself in this stuff or use it as a perfume, mark my words. As if a slow simmered beef stew isn’t good enough on its own, this one’s infused with a lot of different tomato flavors—from sun dried tomatoes packed in oil and…
Deviled Eggs with Ham Mousse
Now before you start throwing eggs at me: I know deviled eggs are about as predictable as the setting of the sun itself. They are definitely a 70′s type of retro party food that you either love or hate, but c’mon people… it’s a kitschy classic! You need some of that in your life. What’s keeping you? Break out your bell bottoms and the LSD. On second thoughts, just break…

It wasn’t until a friend of mine casually asked me what I had put into the chicken casserole that made it so creamy without making it greasy, that it dawned on me this is more an American than a European way of cooking. Using a concentrated soup as the basis of your casserole—turning it into a sauce like that—isn’t really common in Dutch cooking. Actually, it’s really uncommon. I love it,…
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…
Pink Peppercorn Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate and pink peppercorns. Now there’s a combination Willy Wonka didn’t think of. His loss: its liquid perfection. Found a variation to this recipe in a Dutch magazine (probably Libelle or Margriet), tried it and have been hooked ever since. There’s no cream in this so it’s a bit easier on the thighs and arteries. You can always top it with a swirl of whipped cream, though. The chocolate…
