Delicious roasted tomato soup

Hello dear reader,
If there is one thing you absolutely have to learn when you're into cooking, it's preparing a great soup from scratch. After all, those soups out of a tin just don't cut it... Once you get the hang of it you'll be cooking up delicious homemade soups in no time!

I like to prepare a soup every week. My favourites vegetables to cook a soup from are broccoli, paprika, cauliflower (yes, really!), and of course tomatoes. Yesterday I prepared this beautiful roasted tomato soup with loads of basil and some balsamic vinegar and I will be sharing this recipe with you today. We ate it with some bread, herb cheese and creamy goats cheese, yumm!

Creamy hummus with fresh herbs

Hey guys!

I'm having a bit of a bad day today so the only thing that helps is spending a lot of time in the kitchen, naturally! I've already prepared some really tasty granola, some deliciously creamy hummus and I'm baking some tomatoes in the oven for a roasted tomato soup as we speak. Recipe will follow soon ;)

But first: the hummus. Since it was the first time I prepared it, I used this recipe from +Chickslovefood for inspiration (I'm sorry, it's in Dutch!) and measurements. I added some personal touches and it ended up being so good... My advice: eat it on a cracker with some thinly sliced chicken breast and some fresh veggies such as lettuce, or cucumber. Tasty!

Homemade granola

Good day!
As I mentioned before: breakfast recipes are my favourite recipes to share. And I have so many! Granola for example, which I started making a few months ago. Not only does it taste very nice in a bowl of yoghurt in the morning, it makes your whole house smell nice, too!

It does not take up that much work, you just need to find the right balance. I just keep tasting in between, but if you are more a "recipe kinda person" I bet you'll be able to measure your way through it in no time. Trust me, once you taste this granola you'll crave it for breakfast every day...

Tips & tricks: Rome

Heya foodies,
Today I will share with you some of the things we've learned when visiting Rome. There are some things you should avoid and some things you definitely shouldn't: so I thought I'd write about my experiences! If there's anything you think I should add, feel free to let me know.

Pie for breakfast: apple/cinnamon/oatmeal crumble out of the oven

Okay, admit it: the best part of celebrating your birthday is having pie for breakfast. Well do I have some good news for you: there's a way to have guilt-free pie like breakfasts as often as you please!
That's right, I'm going to share with you today one of my favourite ways to start the day if I have a little more time on my hands. It's also great as a dessert: even better if you add some vanilla or cinnamon ice cream! Continue reading....

Adventures in Rome Part Two

Hi again! Thanks for reading my blog :)
