Chicken Nuggets

There was a time we all hopped in the car and drove to Mc D. Since we changed our eating habits and I'm cooking from scratch, there is no way we're eating their nuggets again!.. Doesn't mean we don't want to eat chicken nuggets though! ☺️ So, making it yourself is your only option.. And boy, it's so worth your afford! Best nuggets I ever ate! 👌🏼😋

Apple Sauce

Fall is around the corner.. I don't care much for the weather - I'm a warm-weather-girl - but I do love all fall dishes! There is so much taste and structure in fall and winter dishes! Yesterday I started  simple with this incredible tasty sugar free apple sauce.. 😋🍎

*Easy *Vegan *Sugar free *Dairy free *Gluten free

side dish ~ serves 4 ~ 25 min.

Ingredients 

• 1 kg sweet apples 
• 100 ml water
• 1 tbsp pure apple syrup (100 % thick fruit concentrate, which makes lemonade. In the Netherlands it's called Diksap, not translatable in English..... 😕) Or 1 tbsp agave syrup. 
• 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice 
• 1 tsp cinnamon 

How to make

• Peal the apples, cut them in 4 and remove the cores. Cut in small pieces.
• Put in a pan with the water, lemon juice, apple syrup and cinnamon over a medium heat. Wait till it boils than lower the heat. Put a lid on the pan and stew for 15 minutes. Stir once in awhile. 
• If you want a smooth apple sauce, just mash for a minute! 

It's delicious as a side dish with chicken and fries! 

Enjoy!

Apple Pancakes

In our house we try to eat as many meals together as much as we can as a family. At the dining table. It is quite a challenge for breakfast during the week, everybody has his own schedule. So we sat the rule to have breakfast together at least once a week. Often it is in weekends, when hubby and teen are free from work. Because we have breakfast Smoothies 6 days a week, I love to make something special for breakfast than. This recipe for apple pancakes is one of our favorites. 

*Easy *Lactose free *Sugar free
Breakfast ~ serves 4 ~ 30 min.


Ingredients

• 50 gr white raisins
• 200 gr flower (wholegrain, multigrain, spelt)
• 2 M eggs (free range, organic)
• 450 ml milk (oat, soy, almond, rice)
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 apples
• coconut oil to bake in

How to make

• Put flower in a bowl. Add milk while stirring. Add eggs, stir well. Add cinnamon and raisins, fault through the batter. 
• Peel apples, remove core, slice thinly.
• Heat up a frying pan, grease with some coconut oil. Put in a quarter of the batter, add apple slices. Bake on both sides till golden brown. (If you have difficulties flipping the pancake, use a lit to slide it on.) Bake another 3 like this. 
• Serve with leftover apple and light agave syrup or maple syrup.

If you have overripe bananas, mash them and mix them into the batter! Bake than on low heat, it takes a bit longer to dry the pancake on the inside!.. Ofcourse this recipe is also delicious for lunch, dinner and dessert..... As long as you enjoy it! ;-)

Salmon Salad

We Dutchies love to eat bread. For breakfast, for lunch and even for dinner. With every kind of topping or as a side dish. Like soup, salads, egg dishes, steak, meatballs, you name it! Everything is good with bread. And nooooo, not the white kind.. We just love spelt, corn and every kind of grain! As long as we think it's healthy!...

I bake our own bread. That's even better! ;-) Recently we switched our breakfast bread for fruit & veggie smoothie's, but for lunch there is still bread on our table.
One of our favorite sandwich spreads is this Salmon salad..
