Garlic chicken

This honestly is the very first time I have prepared a whole chicken! Shameful to admit I have been more of a chicken breast person. Until now!

This recipe is very simple, but also very tasteful! How? Like this:

Garlic chicken with mushrooms

Dinner for 3/4

The chicken

3 bulbs of garlic

Handful fresh thyme leaves

1 organic chicken (around 1.5 kilo’s)

1 tbsp. olive oil

100 gr mushrooms, halved

Savory Pancakes

I do like pancakes a lot, best of all with some good old fashioned Dutch syrup. As a breakfast that is, or lunch, not so much for dinner. With my dinner I definitely need to have my veg, as much as possible. I now have found a perfect recipe to have pancakes as a dinner every once in a while, but also not having to miss out on my veg

Savory Pancakes

Lunch or light meal for 2

For the pancakes (about 6)

100 gr flour

1 egg

200 ml milk

Sunflower oil

Spicy Shrimp Pasta

Blue Mondays. The start of the week, the end of a perfect weekend. The days are getting shorter and shorter.  We really are longing for a sunny, but easy to prepare dish so a light Shrimp pasta it is!

Shrimp Spaghetti 
Light meal for 2

250 gr of spaghetti

250 gr of shrimp

1 tsp. sunflower oil

2 cloves of garlic, sliced

1 chili pepper, grinded

1 cm fresh ginger, chopped

1 tbsp. butter

½ lime

Rocket

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water. Fry the shrimp a couple of minutes in sunflower oil, add the garlic, chili pepper and ginger. Add the butter, stir till melted, press the lime above and then stir in the spaghetti so it’s nicely covered in butter. Add a few hands of rocket and ready you are.
