Too good to be true: easy oatmeal cookies

Goooodmorning all!
It's time for a baking recipe, and I've got a good one to share with you today. These oatmeal cookies are a little sticky but have a nice bite to them, and a great taste too: honey and a variation of nuts. Oatmeal is quite healthy, tasty and it leaves you satisfied for a long time. That's why I like to use it so much! (See: apple crumble oatmeal pie for breakfast and homemade granola for example) Last week I tried a recipe of +Chickslovefood for easy oatmeal cookies. Because I used honey as sweetener and coconut oil to stick them together it's not that unhealthy, either. What's not to love...

I'll be sharing more baking recipes with you, too: Gijs (the boyfriend) just started with his placement and I thought I'd give him some healthy snacks for in the train, like this cookie. Also, its my birthday next week!

Sunday morning breakfast: Pumpkin Pancakes

Good morning all,
I know it's not Sunday yet, but this way you can make sure to get the groceries in time to make this perfect breakfast. Or maybe you already have some leftover pumpkin from cooking this recipe? Either way, let me tell you that this is the perfect variation on plain pancakes. I don't even know what I was thinking the first time I made them: what if it would have turned out horribly? However, I've already cooked them twice now and I believe this is a winning dish!

Because you swap out sugar for the pumpkin it is less unhealthy, too. It's also a great way to get more veggies into your meals everyday: they taste so delicious you won't even notice it's there! Keep reading if you'd like to cook this gorgeous recipe.

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!
