Pumpkin Vanilla Shake

This one tastes like dessert, and can be eaten like desert with one little tweak, but I made it for breakfast this morning and it was super satisfying. I like having shakes for breakfast; they’re easy and fast to prepare, they are easily bulked up when you wake up hungry, and you can put yourContinue reading “Pumpkin Vanilla Shake”

Roasted Cauliflower

I sometimes struggle to keep my sides interesting… On busy days I tend to gravitate to veggies as they are… so I steam or stir fry most of them and add some salt, pepper and olive oil and voila, veggies! I do think sometimes that’s a bit boring though and I notice that I amContinue reading “Roasted Cauliflower”

Hummus

Hummus, the perfect snack! Healthy, goes great with vegetables and is perfect to serve when you have a crowd to please. Traditional hummus uses chickpeas and although really healthy, they are not allowed on a keto diet since they are relatively high in carbs and low in fats. Boo… you would say… Nope! This versionContinue reading “Hummus”

Shawarma

Shawarma used to be the food that I ate in my twenties in the middle of the night on weekends, in the Netherlands where I grew up, when all the bars closed at either 2 or 4 am LOL. Seriously, it was either this of fries with mayo. (I might need to do a blogContinue reading “Shawarma”

Pumpkin Brownies

Personally I start researching “pumpkin everything” in June… candles, home fragrances, recipes… To be honest, I could have pumpkin all year round! Even just baking with it makes my heart happy..These brownies don’t taste like pumpkin at all, but it’s the pumpkin that makes and keeps them moist. They are delicious and taste decadent. AContinue reading “Pumpkin Brownies”

Don’t go too small. 1/2 cup almond flour 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoonContinue reading “Airfryer Buffalo Cauliflower”

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I originally got this recipe from a Paleo cookbook, and it used Maple Syrup as a sweetener. However, a few days ago I posted a great Maple Syrup recipe and so I thought how great an opportunity it would be to test out how well this syrup holds up in baking. Well, it’s awesome. AndContinue reading “Chocolate Chip Cookies”

Crock Pot Thai Chicken Curry

Martha Stewart’s Cashew Curry Chicken Kebabs made my husband ask me for more curry dishes, they were that good. Since I made the kebabs with green curry, it was time to try a dish using the red curry paste, and it did NOT disappoint… This dish will warm your belly and satisfy your cravings forContinue reading “Crock Pot Thai Chicken Curry”

Keto Maple Syrup

Pancakes and syrup go together like … pancakes and syrup! It’s a combination that makes most people think of their childhood and it would be a total shame not to have a great tasting maple syrup recipe in my Test Lab archives. We are trying to eat healthy, and in doing so, we are tryingContinue reading “Keto Maple Syrup”
