My 10 food confessions

Nope niemand is heilig. Zo ook ik niet.

Tuurlijk hou ik van lekker en gezond eten maar ik heb ook zo mijn guilty pleasures.

En nee ook ik lust echt niet alles!

Hier mijn 10 food confessions:

Ik lust echt geen brood!

Niet als ontbijt of lunch. Ik eet zoiets alleen bij hoge nood. Geroosterd brood vind ik bijvoorbeeld weer wel lekker. Zo ook harde broodjes. Roggebrood en maisbrood krijg ik er ook nog wel in. Maar gewoon wit of bruin brood, no thanks!

Chipsaddict

Paprika van Lays, bolognese van Croky en naturel van een huismerk. Verder ben ik niks veeleisend. Als ik de kans krijg eet ik zo een hele zak leeg! Oeps...

Alles met maggi hot of saté kruiden

Maggi hot normaal een pittige smaakversterker voor door de soep, en saté kruiden voor de Belgische saté of de frietjes. Hier op de naturel chips, huzarensalade, emping, vlees, bijna door en over alles.

Ik word niet blij van slagroom

Slagroom vind ik echt smerig! Zo lust ik ook geen slagroomtaart. Nee dank je maak je me niet blij mee. Slagroom gaat rechtstreeks naar de hond of kat! 

Favo food: asperges of boerenkoolstamp

Hier kan je me echt voor wakker maken. Lekkere Hollandse kost. Tsja al ben ik een rasechte Indo maar asperges of boerenkoolstamp is my fave. Vooral de boerenkoolstamp made bij mn hubby.

Love veggies

Ik ben niet zo'n vleeseter. Ik eet het wel maar heb veel liever verse groentes.

Mag ik bimi to go please?

Bakken bakken bakken

Bakken doe ik graag. Vaak wel een healthy variant van iets ongezonds. Maar soms ook niet. Lekkere koekjes of appeltaart of pandancake :p hmmm yumyum

Coffee addict

Ik ben, ik ben koffieverslaafd. Begin de dag met een bakkie begin de dag met een lach!

Favo restaurant...

Hmmm ik denk sumo voor de sushi en de flinstering voor lekker relax luxe maar betaalbaar eten.

Ontbijt, lunch, diner

Diner! Lekker samen koken of iets lekkers klaarmaken. Zoveel variaties zoveel mogelijkheden... 

How many egg white/protein do you need?

We all know that our body needs protein to build some muscle. 

It's a very important nutrition for a sports person.

But the question is how many does your body need? Let me explain in to you.

Our body needs protein to gain muscle, with no protein no gain. So simple is that. Our body needs the right amount of protein to gain. If you work out a lot and don't get enough protein you have a change that your muscles will tear apart. Yes that sounds painfull right?

So make sure that you get the right amount of your protein. It can be from the eggs 1egg contains 6grams of high protein. But you can get it also from your shakes, veggies like; peas, spinach or brocolli. Meat like chicken or fish.

Make sure you spread your proteins during the day for the best result. And food rich of proteins makes you fell full so you will not get hungry after a couple of minutes ;).

So now the part how many you will need.It's a simple math.

You take the grams per kilo you need x your body weight.

If you not do sports you'll need 0,8 per kilo

Endurance sports 1,2 per kilo

And heavy weight trainers 1,8 per kilo.

Example:

You are a weight trainer and you'll weight 80 kilo's:

1,8grams x 80= 144grams off protein that your body will need to gain muscles per day!

Proteins is usefull for lot of things. People will lose weight of it because of the protein rich diet. 

Or like me you will gain some weight and get some muscles. You've got a lot of shakes perfect for every diet.

I've orderd mine at: 

http://www.bodyenfitshop.nl 

Perfect service, great advice, order before 10pm and you will have it the next day. 

So make sure you will get your proteins! 

Foodwhalhalla Markthal

If you are a foody and you're Dutch or you are here in the Netherlands, you really must go to the Markthal in Rotterdam.

It's a foodmarket in a very nice designed building where you can live!

It's a very beautifull place with lots of food from different countries. 

You've got beautiful dougnuts and they are delish!

Chocolate, juicebar, nice snacks from Turkey, different meat. Nice looking cupcakes.

Lot's of fruit etc.

Every foody must love this.

There is an Asian or Dutch supermarket and nice restaurants where you can eat or drink.

In September Jamie Oliver will open his Italian restaurant there. 

I've bought some yummie dried fruit snacks and fresh fruit!

So if you are nearby Rotterdam just visit this place!

It's also nearby a shoppingstreet (koopgoot).

Johnny cakes

WOW I've found an such easy recipe. An Antillean a recipe: Johnny cakes.

It's looks like little breadballs and you can fill them with everything you like.

Only you must frie them. So it's not 100% healthy.

But this is how I make them.

What you'll need:

1 pound of spelled flour 

1 tbsp baking powder 

1 tsp salt 

1 tbsp grape sugar 

200 ml of water 

flaxseed oil for frying

Mix all the dry ingridients together with a spoon. Add the water to it and knead into a dough.

Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Make little balls of the dough en squeeze it flat, so you get a little cookie form.

Heat the oil on 170 degrees and fry them till they are brown.

Let them cool down and you can stuff them with everything you like!

Nom Nom Nom tag

I've found another tag!!!! Whoop whoop. And this one I must share with you guys. I've found this tag here: inaflowaroundtheworld
It's a foody tag, and I love food ofcourse.
Are you already curious what my answers are? Then read on......

What do you think that's delicious that others find very nasty? And vice versa?

Well I love spicy food and some people can't handle that haha. But I also love maggi hot. Thats a flavor enhancer mostly used for soup. But i'll eat it whit everything. And no, I don't eat it because I'm pregnant.

I'm not a big meat eater. So I can be very difficult about the kind of meat while eating.

What do you like to cook and far too often?

Call me a fake indo, but I love to cook cooked potatoes with cauliflower. Very Dutchy... 

But I also like to cook wok noodles. Because that's fast and healthy. But mostly we try many new things.

And if I have a day off and if I feel like it (that last one is most important) I like to make Indonesian food.

Well here is the Indonesia part of me comming back ;).

In which restaurant you would most like to eat every day?

I love to go to Sumo in Breda. That's a Japanese restaurant.

8 years ago Sumo started in Rotterdam as a small intimate Japanese restaurant. At that time wielded Sumo as one of the first "all you can eat concept" that became immensely popular.
Today's Sumo located throughout the Netherlands from Groningen to Tilburg, and in each branch you can eat Japanese lunch, dinner.There is something for everyone, because they have not only sushi but also grill, fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. 

They have a very Asian style and you can sit there very comfertable.  But how much I love sushi. If I 'll eat it every day it will get bored easily.

How would a sandwich named after you, to be called. And what's on it?
The Flaming sandwich? haha I don't know. I think I would take whole grain sandwich with, grilled chicken, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, onion something like that.

I'm not that kind of sandwich eater.

Share a handy cooking tip:

I love to cook really I do. But I'm not that handy.... So I'm sorry I don't have any tips. If you've got one, let me know right.

What else is on your 'Food baking bucket list'?

I've got a lot of things on my baking bucket list. Like: banana oatmeal cookies, chocolate banana bread, choco peanutbutter bars, banana quarck bread and so on..... To many things I want to try out.

What do you prefer? Home cooking, ordering food or out for dinner?
.Home cooking... So you've always know what's in your food. I love to go out for dinner once in a while. But I want to eat as healthy as possible. And cooking can be fun also. Specially if you cook both. It's fun, relaxing, you can talk while your cook. Just make sure you enjoy it.

Are you allergic to anything?

MILK... One glass my body can handle it. But if I drink normal ordenary cow milk every day. Well my guts are getting hypersensitive. So that;s why I drink always soy milk.

What's your foodobsession lately?

Chips while watching a movie. It's a bad craving also (shame on me). 

What is your favorite dessert?

I don't like desserts. Mostly we drink a cup of coffee or tea after dinner.

Just give me a bowl of fruit instead of pudding.

But with the nice warm weather I like icecream or water ice.

But not every day. Just give me my damn coffee ok?! 

Strawberry jelly

I've posted on facebook that I would post a new recipe.
But I've got a visit of a friend and I had to do my nails.
Sometimes you must spoil yourself. And lately I spoil myself a lot with a lot of clothes.
It was time to do my nails they were way too long.
So now it is evening and I must send an e-mail to my diabetes specialist for my glucose values. I hope they will be good now.
A diet did not work for me, I was eating already very healthy according to dietitian. So it's because of my hormones.



But now let's talk about my new recipe.
It's the time of the strawberry. And I wanted to do something with this. And it must be healthy, fun and yummie.
So I came up with this. A strawberry jelly.

What you need:
gelatin Leaves
Strawberries
water
vanille extract
maple syrup
shredded coconut


Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water.
Put some water, maple syrup and vanille extract in to a pan and let it boil for a minute.
Squeeze the gelatine leaves out and put them in to the pan and let it melt.
Put in a glass some strawberries and add the jelly water in the glass.
Let it cool down before you put it in to the fridge.
Let it stiffen in to the fridge for about 2 hours.
Top it off with some shredded coconut.

Here's a treat for yourself for these hot days.
And with a nice magazine this looks quite chic.

Why was the strawberry late for work?

He was in a jam
