Golden Chicken with Sweet Potato Gratin

As promised, here is the second dish inspired by my favorite cookbook Jamie in 15 minutes. But instead of a regular potato gratin I have made a sweet potato gratin ​​(you can also replace the sweet potato ordinary potatoes) and I served it with steamed cauliflower. This is not a dish which makes a nice and tasty picture but my god what was it tasty! The potato gratin is delicious and I wish I had more. Maybe better not because I had eaten all haha.

Pizza Party!

You might already know this but I just love pizza! And since I started my healthy journey I really miss them. Of course I have a recipe for a healthy pizza base made with spelt, but this is a lot of work and I just don't always have the time. But last week I discovered these super fast tortilla pizza's. I liked them so much that I decided to make them again but with different toppings. Of course, if you prefer a regular base you can use the same delicious toppings as I used here. The recipe for the pizza crust can be found here.

Chocolate Fudge Bars

This weekend I saw these amazing chocolate fudge bars passing by on one of my favorite Instagram pages: Healthy Always. So you can imagine, I had to make these!

The recipe:

Lasagnette

One of my favorite meals at my parents is Lasagnette from a Knorr packet. Yeah I know, cheat because it comes from a packet, but my parents always eat it and it's so damn tasty! This past week my mom made it again when I had dinner at their house, so I figured that their must be a way of making this by myself so it's more healthy and fitting to my lifestyle. And yes it worked !! However, it turned out to be a vegetarian version because I was stupid enough to forget minced meat in the supermarket, but nevertheless delicious.

Super Fast Pizza's on Tortilla Wraps

Sometimes I spontaneously have a good idea and today I had one! I was planning on making a pizza today, but I had less flour then I thought so it turned out way smaller then expected. So I thought, yeah, and now? Oh well let me first make this one and then see how hungry I feel after I ate it. So I pulled open the kitchen drawer to get the tomato puree and there they were: whole wheat wraps and (if I do say so myself) a brilliant idea was born: Super fast pizza on a tortilla wrap!

I could not contain myself and I decided to make 3 variants. ​​They all look great don't they?!

The recipes:

The basis for all the three pizza's is the same. For the sauce you will need:

Refreshing Green Iced Tea

Finally the sun then reappeared in the Netherlands! Of course we are all very happy, and fortunately I was able to work from home today. That means I get up just as early, but I'm also done on time which means I can relax on my balcony with some magazines, fresh fruit and homemade iced tea. So I made a can this morning!

I drank it in this beautiful quilted mason jar of 500ml available at www.masonmadness.com.

Stuffed Vegetarian Egg Plant

Time for a delicious recipe for dinner. It takes a little longer than you are used to from me, but it's 25 minutes in the oven, so in that time you can do other things! What then? Well I've vacuumed and hang the laundry, haha not so exciting.

Duration: 35 minutes

The ingredients for 1 serving:

• 1 egg plant
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 red paprika
• 1 tomato
• 1/2 ts cuminseeds 
• 1 ts sweet paprika powder
• 1/4 ts chili powder
• Salt & Pepper
• Olive oil

What you do:

1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius. 
2. Chop the onion and fry it along with 2 crushed garlic cloves in a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Cut the eggplant in half (lengthwise) and scoop out the flesh into 1cm from the edge. I used a melon scoop to do this. Put the pieces of eggplant with the onions in the pan along with the spices and cook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the paprika and tomato into small pieces and fry briefly. 
3. Place the aubergine boats in a greased baking dish and spoon in the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with grated cheese or feta cheese. Bake about 25 in the oven until the cheese is melted and begins to brown.
