We started the week with a homecooked meal from the cookbook Van Piepers to Pasta from Blue Band. I prepared salmon steak with green beans and potatoes. It was Halloween but trick-or-treatin’ isn’t something they do in the Netherlands.

Saturday

We had a baking day with my nieces at my parents’ home. A baking day with the daughters of my sister and Yuri we do one to two times a year. I choose some recipes together with Yuri and my nieces, usually 2 to 3 and we prepare them together. Although it’s more and more that I give them some tips and pointers and they do it mostly on their own.

The baking day started with lunch at my parents. My mom had whole wheat and white buns on the table with cold cuts, cheese and spreads. After we made devils donuts from the cookbook Donuts and bananabread honey & chocolate from the cookbook Bananabread. For dinner my mom had prepared pancakes with cinnamon and a chicken-curry casserole.

Sunday

We went to my parents-in-law and had dinner together. My mother-in-law prepared pasta with a delicious curry, chicken and beans sauce. Dessert afterwards were oliebollen, a Dutch New Year’s Eve treat.

So that was a week with delicious homecooked meals, one dinner out and a bit of baking.
