Picknick Time with Delio

/ sarahgiebens / Leave a comment

Hi guys!

One of my favorite Summer activities is having a picknick. I just love sitting down in a park, preferably on a lake or pond, and chill on a soft blanket whilst enjoying some bread and a glass of bubbles… Don’t you?

When I was younger, my parents and I would travel to France and have a picknick every day. We would take the car, stop at a local boulangerie (bakery) for some bread and a dessert and go find a spot to picknick on our way to wherever we wanted to go that day. Oh how I loved those days.

Hi guys!

It’s FRI-DAAAAY! I’m always happy when Friday presents itself but especially this one. Becaaauuusseeee I have a fantastic dessert to share with you! That’s why 😀

I’ve been wanting to make a Pavlova for quite a while now but I never really had the guts to get myself to it. Now I know you don’t need guts. At all. This Pavlova recipe is easy and delicious. My favorite combo. Oh and it looks absolutely amazing, don’t you think.

Apple Crumble on the BBQ

Hi guys!

I had the honor to be invited to Elckerlijc, the restaurant of Peter De Clerq, last night. For those of you who don’t know him, he’s the BBQ Master of Belgium 😉 I thank him, Braun and Lewis PR for the wonderful evening they had planned for us.

Knowing Peter is the King of BBQ, you must know what I’m about to share today, aren’t you? Of course you do. You’ve probably read the title of this blogpost :p

Apple Crumble on the BBQ. An idea I would have never came up with on my own. When I think thought about dessert on the BBQ, I thought of pineapple and banana. But this is far better! Finish it off with some vanilla ice cream and you’ll find yourself in heaven.

Yummy Stracciatella Ice Cream without ice cream maker

/ sarahgiebens / 10 Comments

Hi guys!

It’s sunny outside! That calls for some yummy homemade Ice Cream!

Today, we’re making my absolute favorite Ice Cream flavour: Stracciatella! I know, Brownie or Cookie Dough Ice Cream is delicious as well but I really prefer Stracciatella. Australian Ice Cream has the best Stracciatella in my eyes but I did hope this recipe from Koken Op Hakken could live up to it. That way I can make it myself. All Summer long 😉

Perfect!

Hi guys!

The sun is shining, everybody is so happy and the temperature just calls for sandals!
What do you do? You drink smoothies! Or even better: you MAKE one!

I became a real Smoothie-addict. I have always loved Smoothies but nowadays I think I drink almost a Smoothie a day. Okay, not always homemade ones…
It’s my daily portion of fruit 😉

Summer Pasta

/ sarahgiebens / 5 Comments

Hi guys!

Today is 21 July. That means it’s Belgian’s National Holiday!

What better way to celebrate than to celebrate with food!
I wanted to go all caloriebombing all over again but have you noticed the weather????
It was SO hot! Odd for me to say, but I actually don’t really feel like eating sweets right now…
Since it’s the National Holiday of Belgium, I thought I should make things we are known for 🙂
But I can’t make my own beer or chocolates… My homemade fries would never live up to the image of the famous Belgian (YES! Belgian) fries…
Oh boy, what a terrible Belgian citizen am I!
So instead, I’m bringing you the PERFECT Summer Pasta! (my mom came up with this :D)Summer pasta
(I know, my knife & fork should be switched, but I always eat like this xD Sorry!)
It is so delicious! And very refreshing actually 😀
Don’t worry, it’s our National Holiday so in order to be able to enjoy the day, the recipe is very very easy. 😉
I’m sure this pasta is perfect for this Holiday so I don’t need to feel guilty ^^
And yes, I am going to eat fries tonight 😉Summer pasta3
