I have a new addiction. Luckily it’s a healthy one. I can’t get enough of this snack made with nori, avocado and hummus. Nori is the edible seaweed that’s also used when making sushi. It’s full of essential nutrients like protein, iron, vitamin A, B & C and contains only 4 calories per sheet. Soooo, no need to cut back on this snack, which is also very easy to make. Yay!

It might sound a bit lame, but I think food is about sharing. Sharing meals but also sharing ideas and recipes. My best friend Myrthe once made this beautiful and easy risotto for me, and I’ve impressed many others with it since that day.
Breakfast is my favorite start of the day. I know most people don’t bother eating in the morning because they are too busy getting ready, washed and dressed for the day. I am one of those odd people who sets her alarm early so I can take all the time I need for tea, breakfast and the newspaper. If I don’t take that time, I feel moody and rushed all day long.
Lately it seems all my girlfriends stopped eating gluten. Some of them hope it will help them gain the figure they always dreamed of, others just feel better when they don’t eat too much bread or pasta.
As I told you before: I love Asian food. My boyfriend and I often treat ourselves to dim sum for lunch at our favorite local Chinese restaurant. Enjoying all these different delicious bites is one of my favorite things to do on a lazy weekend day.
Spring is in the air! This time of year makes me crave for healthy and light food, like salads. This salad is not only healthy, gluten free and very delicious but it’s also filling. This makes it popular with the men around me who normally seem to think they won’t leave the table feeling full when it comes to salads.
I always get a bit hungry around eleven in the morning. Breakfast seems ages ago but lunch is still two hours away. To prevent myself from munching on the candies on my colleague’s desk or a chocolate bar from the vending machine, I bring my own relatively healthy and very delicious date & nut bars to the office. They are easy to make, gluten free, there’s no sugar added and you can adjust them to your own taste, with your favorite nuts and seeds.
I often dream about food. When I wake up in the morning I sometimes say things like ‘ I dreamed about a new soup recipe’ or ‘We need to eat that grilled chicken dish tonight’.
Good things often are connected to the people you love. This time I want to share a family recipe with you.
Asian food is my comfort food. Most dishes originated in the Far East are quick and simple to make, the flavours and ingredients are pure and light and I also love the kick the spices give. They revive me.
