Thursday is “Girl’s Drinks Night” in Utrecht. It’s a thing me and a friend do about once a month to catch up and gossip. It also conveniently coincides with shopping night 
Usually when we settle down into one of the many cafés along the canal, I don’t expect much to choose from on the menu. I usually have a choice between a boring salad or an uninspired pasta.
But Toque Toque knocked my socks off.
They offer a great choice for veggie’s and omni’s alike. They even have tofu on the menu, which is far and few between in the Netherlands. This place has a warm and slightly trendy ambiance: the perfect place for a meal, wine and plenty of GOSSIP!

As you can tell by my posts recently, I’ve barely had time to eat at home.
Pomodori is a great little place in the centre of Baarn. With many delicious vegetarian choices on the menu: from soups to quiches to sandwiches that will make you want to lick your plate clean.
And the polenta? It’s to die for
Whenever I’m in Baarn, Pomodori ranks as one of my favourite places to go for lunch. Take a peek at their lunch menu.

Even though I’m a happy vegetarian on a bike, I so want one of these. They are cute, use no gas and have zero emissions.

With the doom and gloom over our heads as we face an economic crisis, there is no better time than the present to show people how they can eat delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals that are friendly to the pocketbook.

Knock the socks off of your dinner guests when you serve them this little treat. Luckily, it’s very easy to prepare.
Bake your favourite chocolate cake and let cool. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter or a glass. Place two on top of each other with a layer of frosting between. Top off the mini-cakes with another layer of frosting. Place a simple chocolate decoration on top and serve!
Easy eh?
(BTW: I used the chocolate cake and frosting recipe from the Joy of Vegan Baking)

Create fancy looking decorations for on top of your cakes, cupcakes or desserts in a snap. Melt some high quality chocolate and place in a pastry bag bag with a small nozzle.
Create swirls, swooshes or anything you like on top of baking paper. Or for a curled effect, place the baking paper over a rolling pin and create your designs on top.
Let the chocolate harden, gently remove from the paper and place on top of your baked treats 
Simple and chic.
