creative cook
Making healthy date nut balls don’t take hours of practice. Just look in your cupboards, check your ingredients on Google and a useful recipe will show up. At least, that worked for me!
Cook with what you’ve got, not to throw any produce, is one of my (very few!) kitchen rules. Although I can always dump leftovers on my compost pile, to me, that still feels a bit like wasting it. But what to do with a tree overhanging with fruits that you’ll never be able to eat before season’s over? Besides giving them away generously, I try to put it in any dish. And thankfully, my apples of unknown variety are great in this sensational Spinach Lentil Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Nuts with Balsamic Mayonnaise.

Waiting for some baked goodiness to cool down enough to eat it, is one of the hardest parts of baking. I’ll keep on dribbling to the kitchen, sniffing up the good aromas, testing if it’s cool enough to cut of a piece, trying to keep in mind these Fruity Oat Bars are completely worth it.
Getting inspired by the recipes of Erin Gleeson from her Forest Feast Cookbook isn’t difficult. She presents her dishes in such a colorful way that you immediately want to run into your kitchen.
These zucchini cups are inspired on her way of cooking.
As experienced as a cook I am, every now and then I suffer from a lack of cooking creativity. One of my rescues is this Pasta with spinach and any soft cheese.
