Red currant cupcakes

in Food and Drink

Sometimes I have this thing in my mind that comes out completely wrong when I take it out of the oven and these little darlings where – unfortunately – no exception. I had a box of red currants in the fridge that needed to be eaten desperately and it had also been a while since [...]

When I read what the challenge for this month was going to be I got all excited. I totally love Mexican food!! The original challenge called for making Stacked Green Chili and grilled chicken enchiladas. Sounded like fun and while reading through the ingredients I figured I should be able to get them, if not [...]

Barchette di zucchine ripiene

in Food and Drink, Italian, Recipes

Now how very Italian does that title sound?? Sooo much better then stuffed zuchini or stuffed courgette, wouldn’t you agree? I just love the Italian language, even though I have absolutely no idea what they are saying except when they say something useful like ‘ciao’ or arriverderci (which I am probably writing down wrong…) Did [...]

Blintzes

Remember how we started our pancake adventure around the world with these poffertjes? Then we moved on to Aebleskiver and blini and now it is the turn of Blintzes. The funny thing is that when I looked it up on Wikipedia it actually tells me… that it is the same as blini! But when I [...]

Applesoup

I can almost hear you thinking; what has gotten into this girl lately?? First strawberry and tomato salad and now soup made from apples?? Well, ok… I admit I sometimes have a thing for the unknown, the weird and the unconventional… Or maybe it is just really not that weird when you think about it. [...]

Strawberry tomato salad with balsamic

in Food and Drink, Recipes, Salads

You know how you can hear about certain flavor combinations where you first go; “what”?? The combination of strawberries and balsamico is one of them. I think I first heard it on one of the blogs about a year ago and it intrigued me. Certainly not a flavor I would naturally combine with eachother, but [...]

Lychee lassi and new look

Lychee Lassi; deliciously refreshing

Strangely enough I had never tasted lassi while being in India (ok, I have been in India for about 5 days for work 6 years ago, so it doesn’t really count for much!) and only ever tasted it here in the Netherlands. Once a mango lassi, which appears to be all you can find here [...]

halloumi salad with rocket and bacon

Remember I had that delicious lentil salad a while ago with halloumi? For those of you that have never heard of Halloumi; it is traditionally a Cypriot cheese and it made from a mixture of goat’s and sheeps milk although apparently some have cow’s milk in there as well. It can be heated far higher [...]

I need some people to tell me what they think of the new design of my Dutch blog… I know it’s Dutch but it’s not about the language but all about the looks! Let me know what you think. You can find it here on FROG BITES. And then as a reward I will give [...]
