For weeks now, my sister has been terrorizing me with photos of her healthy post-workout pancakes which always look like absolut foodporn! I’ve been wanting to try them myself and finally got around to it after my morning workout on Friday. They are mostly made of banana and eggs, which makes them not only filling…
With summer making a first appearance this week, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to get into bikini-shape (or as close as possible …) to fully enjoy this beautiful weather! Even though I have a fairly healthy diet and eat lots of veggies, a little extra green certainly won’t hurt. As much as I’d…
One of my all-time favorite meals are salads. I think that I am blessed in a way that I actually prefer veggies over unhealthy things and even at a restaurant I usually find myself browsing the salads. Since I only work part-time at the office (the rest of the day is dedicated to the blog…
When Mike texted me yesterday, saying he’d make dinner, I didn’t know what to expect. Little did I know that he had an ace up his sleeve and he surprised me with amazing tuna poke. We both love fish, especially when it is served in form of maki, ceviche or sashimi. Tuna poke is a…
As mentioned in yesterday’s post, our mission for Sunday was to make macarons. One of Mike’s best friends was my partner in crime and all week he was busy researching the perfect recipe! By the time Sunday came around we were convinced that our our homemade version of the little delights were going to blow away…
This past weekend I FINALLY made something I have been craving for weeks: thai summer rolls. Up until now, I’ve only ever had them at restaurants, because quite frankly they impressed me too much and I figured they would probably be pretty hard to make. Well, last Saturday, my cravings finally got the best of…
Last night, we had our annual “secret santa girls night”. It’s not really a secret santa thing, since everyone receives a present from everyone … but I am highly against celebrating things ahead of time, so I refuse to call it “Christmas” before the 24th. For the past few weeks we’ve been trying new places…
Some of you may have seen this photo on my Instagram account (@vickyheiler) on Sunday, where I told you that we’d be making our first turkey feast. Well, now I can proudly show you a few snapshots! We may still need a bit of practice (the skin ripped as we were turning it on the…
Without a doubt, salads are my favorite go-to lunch. I feel like the possibilities are endless, they’re so yummy and not to mention healthy. After work, I usually make a quick salad with whatever the fridge has to offer, plus a slice of whole wheat bread on the side to fill me up. For winter,…
Last week, a basket full of pumpkins, along with the new Braun Multiquick 7 immersion blender arrived at my door. While I was busy painting other pumpkins over the weekend, I finally got around to making a spicy pumpkin & carrot soup last night. With soups, salads and sandwiches, I usually don’t really follow a recipe,…
