How to make creamy ice cream with only one ingredient

This one has been doing the rounds on all social media sites and blogs over the past weeks. I only discovered it last week and was instantly tempted to try it out. I got my 10 year daughter on board and a day later we were in the kitchen waiting to see the magic happen before our eyes. The 1 ingredient ice cream recipe is a breeze! Although our food processor stopped half way through the process it recovered it self and thus we watched soft banana ice cream before our eyes.

All very exciting. Also because daughter number 1 was also curious and claimed that she should be the first to try the results of our experiment. To keep it fair we made sure that the ice cream was distributed evenly between us and count to 3.

Fage Greek Yoghurt

My new favourite breakfast meal is Fage Greek Yoghurt with a spoon of honey. I was sceptical about Greek Yoghurt but I am a total convert. I also use it as a substitute and so far it works well. If you have any tips please leave a link or a comment below, I am always looking for inspiration.

Macaroni cheese reminds me of when I shared an apartment in the centre of The Hague. Although we didn’t really have much money we liked to experiment with recipes and make a cheap recipe tastier. This one was originally invented by Christine, she adapted it from one of her cookbooks. I haven’t made it for [...]
