Baked Oats
This healthy breakfast can be enjoyed as is, with milk or jogurt. When using rolled oats leave the mixture to stand for at least an hour or preferably overnight before baking. The apple in the receipe can be substituted with soaked dried fruits, dates, berries, grated carrots. Another substitute are savory ingredients including, cooked bacon or ham combined with cheese.

Sundried tomato pistachio pesto penne
This is my version of pesto. I simply love a good pesto, and I could live on pasta for the rest of my life. This is my version where instead of pine nuts I used pistachios. You can even use sunflower seeds or any other cheaper seeds and will still be delicious. I added a bit of spice to it with some dried chili flakes! It’s mouthwatering!#pastapesto #sundriedtomatopesto

Christmas Cake made in a pressure cooker
My mom use to make a very tasty and rich fruit cake but it required a lot of preparation and long baking time. The preparation includes cutting and covering the baking tin with multiple layers of paper and then four hours of careful baking to avoid overbaking and burning. Doing some research on the internet I found fruit cake receipes that were prepared with less effort and cooked using a pressure cooker. Although the cake still pressure cooks for one and a half hours, preparation is much less effort. You only require to grease the pan and the pressure cooker ensures a moist cake that’s unlikely to overcook or burn. I used a Instant Pot in this receipe but any standard pressure cooker will also work.

Low Carb Cottage Pie
For weeknight dinners I try to be as carb-conscience and health conscience as possible. In a perfect world, I would be happy to eat lean meat with green veg for supper, but it's winter and I need a bit more oomph in my diet, so this is as healthy as I could go.
