Have you ever heard about pomato? Or tomtato? Guess what, it's a plant with tomatoes on top and potatoes in the soil. How is it even possible? Well, tomatoes and potatoes come from the same plant family. They're both nightshades or solanaceae in latin. The pomato or the tomtato is not a natural plant. Human hands make an opening in the stem of both tomato...

It's almost been a month since I posted my last post "Time for another Juice". I should be ashamed of myself but I can't help it. Two options: Or I have been really busy or I just have a lack of inspiration... I can't choose. It's both. I started cleaning once a week. I clean at our church and I want to do...

This post is about another juice I made with my juicer. This one's called "Red Energy Booster". So grab your apron and start! Servings: 3 Ingredients:   - 4 apples  - 1 orange  - 3 beetroots  - 3 carrots  - 1/2 lemon Instructions: Cut the apples into four and remove the core (you don't want to eat the seeds). You can remove the peel...

Last week I tried out my new juicing machine we got for our engagement 2,5 years ago. The first thing my husband and I did was making apple juice. Just apple juice sounds boring to me. I thought there could be a more fun way to make juice than just with apples. So here is my easy recipe for one of the juices...

Monday I had visitors. But before they came I just wanted to have a clean house. So I washed the floor. But whilst cleaning the floor, I got a marvelous idea. Why not change the décor or the way the furniture was standing in the livingroom. I just moved the cupboard, the mirror, two sofa’s but not just once. I had this idea...

A few days ago I decided to make mashed potatoes because I was bored of eating normal potatoes. My husband told me it was delicious. Here’s the recipe for moist mashed potatoes. Serves: 4 persons Ingredients ·        1 kg potatoes ·        2 dl milk ·        3 eggs ·        150g butter ·        Salt Instructions 1.      Cook the peeled potatoes in slight salty water. 2.     ...

Blueberries, blueberries and blueberries… It looks like I only write about these. I know, but I’m doing it again. I had to weigh them so we could exactly know how many kilo’s I had gathered a few days ago. I have to admit. I didn’t know how to make jam… Gloops! Was I supposed to stand three hours in the kitchen and swet?...

Due to our recent moving and installing ourselves the last week, we weren’t able to get any internet in our house until now. That means that I couldn’t read my mails, couldn’t skype with my parents, family and friends, but it also meant that I couldn’t post my posts on the blog. But don’t worry, I still cleaned up, did the dishes and...

Isn’t it nice to get a call from someone?  Well, we got a call from my husband’s aunt. She lives in the same city as we do. She asked  if I’d like to join her and two other ladies from church to go on a tour. Not just some kind of tour, a blueberry picking tour. My heart just melted. Me? I love...

Sit down & take a sip of your coffee... As a housewife, I now need to fulfill some tasks I didn’t do when I still lived at my parent’s house. The average day contains cleaning, vacuuming, washing clothes, cooking, ironing… Not that I never helped at home, but it’s different. This is my own home now – It still does sound weird I...
