I received some very nice comments on my Facebook page for the sweet potatoes from the slow cooker. One of those reactions was from Erna, who regularly makes sweet potato soup according to Linda de Vries Jansens recipe. And then I get curious, of course. Linda was willing to share her delicious swee

This slow cooker recipe is from one of the members of my slow cooker recipe Facebook group. Annemieke Snelders made her first attempt in the slow cooker she just had. Chicken thigh fillet in the slow cooker with vegetables and soy sauce. It was so tasty and the pictures looked so delicious that I as

The weekly shopping. A while ago we made a call among our readers to check their weekly expenditure on groceries. It soon became apparent that this was very different. However, we received so many reactions that I decided to write a nice article about it. But first Ill list my own weekly groceries f

It sounds a bit crazy but, despite the fact that we dont know it very well in the Netherlands, cooking on wood is an old tradition. Native Americans used cedar planks for centuries to prepare dishes with fish, poultry, game or vegetables. Chefs worldwide work with the CedarWood OvenPlank because of

Goji berries, quinoa and wheatgrass. Are they regularly on your menu? That could very well be, because they are all superfoods. And if we are all busy with something, it is healthy eating. But do you really need all those newfangled ingredients for that? They were never on my grandmothers menu. Yet

Zwarte Piet may be the subject of a heated discussion, but one part of the Sinterklaas celebration is still standing proudly. The gingerbread cookies! Although it is also standard grumbled by whiners that they are in the store very early this year. Dont worry people, dont they taste like gingerbread

Well, how do you survive Christmas with children. Many a mother will wonder this. Even though it is a very pleasant time on the one hand, it is also really stressful. The kids are still bouncing hysterically after December 5th and we soon have to make way for the next celebration:Christmas. How do y

When you think of a festival, you probably primarily think of music and less elaborately thought-out food. Albert Heijn will prove for the third time this year that it can also be a culinary masterpiece. The Allerhande Christmas Festival will once again be held in Utrecht on 8, 9 and 10 December. Do

“Maaaam, what are we eating today?” Every now and then I have my stomach so full of that question. Probably because I dont know the answer myself. Because while I like to serve my family a healthy, nutritious meal, cooking is not really my hobby. Just like shopping. All too often the inspiration - o

At this time of year, finding the best treats is a sport. Treating in the winter is something different than in the summer, and the treats often look slightly different. Last week we fell in love with this winter treat of cupcakes in Winterwonderland. Super creative and also very tasty. And easy to

I make sweet dishes from the slow cooker less quickly than the other slow cooker dishes. But it can be done very well and is also very tasty. For example, I once made a slow cooker cake (very tasty) and cinnamon rolls in the slow cooker. I have never made a slow cooker fudge before, but luckily Jola

Lotte and I set to work with the Hartenhuis cake for the Make a dessert that you do well with campaign by Het Vergeten Kind. The recipe is in the Hartenhuis Christmas desserts booklet, which contains the most delicious desserts to make with your children. Table of contents Making Hearts Cake t

This delicious recipe of tagliatelle with chicken and leek from the slow cooker can also be made very simply in the pan, so Im giving you both versions of this recipe so that you can make the tagliatelle with chicken and creamy leek sauce however you want. It will definitely taste good either way! Y

Maybe you dont immediately think of the word barbecue, but why shouldnt it be possible in the winter? In fact:its totally in, the Christmas BBQ. Do you like it during the Christmas standing outside with your family in your winter coat around a fire to fill your stomach with a Christmas BBQ? Of cour

I hadnt eaten it in years, a delicious sauerkraut stew. Frank isnt really a fan of it, because he normally finds it too sour, but he really likes the sauerkraut stew from the slow cooker. Just like the kids, by the way. This sauerkraut dish is very easy to make and the slow cooker ensures that the t

Celery salad with apple and cauliflower rice. This time I made a variation on a delicious salad that is nice when its a bit warmer, but can also work well as a side-dish with, for example, a pasta dish. The celery salad with apple is an input of hubby in our household. Most dishes come from my hand

Cauliflower Rice. Ive heard about it before, but hadnt tried making it myself before. Last week I made a celery salad that had cauliflower rice in it (really delicious!), where I just added the cauliflower rice raw. This time its cauliflower rice with meatballs in tomato sauce. And I can tell you… i

How do you cook rice? This doesnt seem like a difficult question with an equally difficult answer. But did you know that cooking rice is harder than you think? Or should I say it differently… cooking rice is not difficult in itself, but we should do it differently. Because we are currently cooking t

I find chicken from the slow cooker a lot tastier than frying chicken in the pan. The chicken stays wonderfully tender when cooked in the slow cooker and this creamy slow cooker chicken with sun-dried tomatoes all the way through. Super tasty slow cooker recipe and definitely worth repeating. Ta

A delicious vegetable tagine from the slow cooker, finally I also have a Moroccan vegetable tagine recipe that I can prepare without a tagine 😉 . The times I ate with my brother and he made something out of the tagine, I could lick my fingers. I always love dishes from the tagine. But that doesnt w
