Healthy Breakfast Workshop

Hey you!

Yesterday I did a workshop from this girl Stefanie Baert. She creates healthy recipes and they are amazing! She has her own foodblog and website, called Foodlove. We made several dishes and I will do later posts with the whole explanation of the ingredients and how to do it 🙂

Granola bars with puffed oats. Note: you don’t have to bake these! Just put them in the freezer. Delicious!

Hey you!

This smoothie is so easy to make and you can drink it for breakfast or just as a little snack.

Put all of this in a blender and mix! Use all kind of toppings you like 😉 I used puffed quinoa, homemade granola and banana.

Pierre Marcolini: macaron heaven! And the shop is so pretty it’s just fun to visit it, even you don’t buy anything! (Ofcourse I did, couldn’t resist…….)

Antwerp for today

Hey guys!

Today I went for some quality time with my lovely friend Irmy in Antwerp. We had lunch at Cordoba Foodbar. This place has a really nice atmosphere! We went for toast with goat cheese and pastrami. Yummie!

After that my brother joined us for some drinks. Had the best day ♥

Cake for breakfast!

Hey you,

I made a cake containing oatmeal, banana, raspberries and lots of nuts. This is perfect for breakfast (for example with some yoghurt as a side or just the cake as itself).

What do you need?
– 400 grams of oatmeal
– 3 bananas
– 4 eggs
– 200 mL water
– 2 tsp cinnamon
– 2 tbsp honey
– 250 gr frozen berries (I prefer raspberries)
– 150 gr nuts (those you prefer)

How to do it?
– First you weigh the oatmeal and you add the bananas to this. Flatten them with a fork and make sure you have a sticky mixture.
– Add the eggs, water, honey and cinnamon.
– Last but not least: add the berries and nuts. Stirr very good and when you have a good mixture, you can put this in a cake form (! Add some coconut oil to this before you put the mixture in it, so it doesn’t get to sticky when it gets out of the oven).

Bake in the oven for like 40 minutes by 175 degrees.

Enjoy!

All I do is eat

Hey you,

I had a lovely weekend and like always, a lot of food got involved haha!

Saturday I had breakfast with my boyfriend at Julie’s House. They are very known for their cupcakes and homemade pies!

Later that day I catched up with my friends Eva and Jeroen. We went to Le Pain Quotidien. This place is very known and you have it all over the world. Because I was still full because of breakfast earlier that morning I just had a little snack.

Check it out!

Breakfast & friends

Hey there!

This morning I had breakfast with my best friend at Soep&Zoet. It’s a little, cosy hotspot in Sint-Niklaas,Belgium. You can have breakfast, brunch and lunch there. Or just simply a coffee if you’d like to.

We had some greek yoghurt with fresh fruit and granola (sugarfree), a breakfast waffle with bacon, a poached egg and some avocado and at last also a smoothie bowl with cacao and peanut butter, together with granola and fresh fruit.

Waaay too much but oooh so good!

Check it out!

Biggest sweet potato addict alive

Hey there,

for lunch I prepared a stuffed sweet potato. It’s been quite a long time that I’ve eaten sweet potato so this was needed, haha 😉

What do you need?
– 1 sweet potato
– humus
– avocado
– spring onion
– pepper, salt
– chive

How to prepare?
Very easy: just make some little holes in the potato with a fork or knive and put it in the microwave for like 10 minutes. When it’s ready you can cut it through and fill it up.
First I add the humus, after this the avocado and at last the herbs. First flatten the avocado so it’s creamy. Finish with some pepper and salt!

Enjoy

Marie made a new friend, haha 😉 

Fish and meat make a great combo!

Hey you,

Last weekend I made this dish for the very first time! Quinoa with onion, peas and parmesan (makes it creamy: so nice!). I served this with shrimps and some serrano ham (sounds weird at first but it fits this dish perfectly!).

What do you need? (2pers):
– 100gr quinoa
– 1 onion
– peas (depends on how much you want in your quinoa)
– parmesan (as much as you like!)
– 5 shrimps each
– garlic, pepper, salt
– serrano ham

How to prepare?:
-put the onion in a cooking-pot with some olive oil
– add the quinoa and some water and make sure the quinoa gets enough water to become soft (add some bouillon, gives a nice flavour)
-grill the shrimps, add some pepper, salt and garlic to get a good taste
-when the quinoa is ready you add some parmesan and you stirr until you get a cheesy mixture, finish with pepper and salt
-Put everything on a plate: top the quinoa with some ham and on top of that you put the shrimps.

Serve with a good glass of wine and… attack!
Enjoy
