Hi I am a .... My New Roots Newtella addict

Last year around this time, I read something very exiting on one of my favorite blogs ever; My New Roots.

She was giving another cooking class in Amsterdam!
So of we went!

I don't know what it is with winter time, but I crave nut butter ALL. THE. TIME!!
There is something about it! The nutty flavor, the texture, eating a healthier version of my childhood staple - really, I ate the stuff non stop with a spoon, finishing jar after jar! totally addictive I have now realized! what do you expect, they specialize in finding the right sugar-salt balance to keep us hooked! And I was their top consumer  - 

Now, knowing the importance of nutrition, trying to avoid all the processed crap, and making what I can myself...
 I eat hazelnut, almond,... butter that only want the best for me!
- not what is best for the compagnies tching tching - 
Think healthy fats, vitamins, protein,... all natural


And last year I learned by Sarah firsthand how to make that addictive nutella the healthy way!
Roast -or roast them not  higher that 42degrees - your nuts of choice
Grind them in your foodprocessor
add some cocao powder and some coconut sugar 
and
Tadaaaaa!!

Its THAT easy!

I don't think we ever been to Amsterdam without going to Buffet Van Odette.
And sometimes even more than once a day!
Delicious food, great atmosphere, lovely confiture and bread, great coffee!
Well, there is a reason we come back here every time!

( and of course i had a Pumpkin soup, my regular winter dish!)

Maison Rika

Whenever we travel to Amsterdam..

 - the call of riding bikes along the water sometimes just gets to big - 

we love to look for cute places to stay and pretend that we own one of those amazing houses along the grachten.

And frankly what better place to ' pretend own' than Maison Rika!

Look how pretty it is!!
