This pasta dish is one of my favorite for cozy winter evenings. This recipe is a variation of the super duper good baked butternut squash pasta that our friend Louise cooked for us one night when we were on training camp in Flagstaff together last year. I better warn you though, given how good of an athlete Louise is, this recipe may make you run F A S T! 😉 Makes 4 servings : ⅓ of a butternut squash 1 small package of…
I never used to eat oatmeal for breakfast back in Belgium, but now that I’ve been eating it more and more here in the US, it has become one of my favorite breakfast, especially before a long run or a hard workout. It feels nice to have a warm, filling and tasty meal before going through a long day! I also like that there are so many different versions and flavors. Here is my favorite one of the moment. Makes…
Because apparently, old bananas forgotten at the bottom of your race-day backpack seems to turn into a habit at home (and also because we love love love cookies), here’s another recipe that allows you to use them ripe bananas for something good. On top of that, these cookies are made without butter or other shortening, and require only very little sugar. They make a great pre- or post-workout snack! Makes about 15 cookies: 2 ripe bananas 1 egg, yolk and…

As easy as it is to find some enchilada sauce in any grocery store here in the US, it certainly is a different story in Belgium. So I learned to make it myself -plus it always is funnier and tastier when it is homemade! I either eat my enchiladas just like…
Here’s one easy dinner that is great for a night in front of your fav TV show. You can serve it with the grilled meat of your choice, or simply eat it as a vegetarian (and gluten-free!) dish. If you want to add a pop of color and sweetness, you can surely use sweet potatoes instead of regular ones. Makes 4-5 servings: 10 medium size (sweet) potatoes, or 6 really large ones 5-6 garlic cloves 3-4 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp…
In my quest for a healthy-yet-not-boring breakfast, here is my on-the-go version. These really soft cookies also make a great afternoon snack. They are better when eaten the same day they were baked, so you can make a lot and freeze most of them, then you just have to heat them in the oven for a few minutes whenever you feel like eating some. They are very lightly sweetened because that’s how I like my breakfast, but feel free to…
