A little over a month ago, I announced I wouldn’t be posting for several weeks, due to business travel and other things in my personal life. We appreciate your patience and all your kind messages, and now it’s time for an update!
I flew to The Netherlands for my mom’s 80th birthday in May. It had been more than two years since I had seen my family, so it was long overdue!
When I landed at Schiphol Aiport, I was greeted by this sign:
I was picked up by my dad and brother-in-law and ate a delicious saucijzenbroodje from Albert Heijn. During the rest of the trip, I got to eat all the foods I miss, such as frikandel speciaal and patatje oorlog.
It was great to see everyone, and I also got to meet my great-nephew, Daan, for the first time!! He’s absolutely adorable.
We went to Het Keukenhof, where we enjoyed all the beautiful flowers! It was a great day, and we walked many miles!
After my short visit to The Netherlands, I spent a week in Barcelona at a tradeshow for work.
I’m back in the US now, so why aren’t there any new videos, you ask? Well, there are more things going on.
First, I got a promotion at work, and I am spending a lot of time learning and getting up-to-speed with the new responsibilities, which leaves me with a lot less time to research, plan, practice, and record recipes.
Second, we have sold our house, and are actively looking for a new house. So, our kitchen is in the process of being packed up. We are closing at the end of June, so I hope that in July we’ll be recording and posting recipes and videos again!
Thank you for your patience! We cannot wait to bring you new content!

Hej Toine,
Sinds kort heb ik jou Youtube kanaal ontdekt.
Mijn naam is mark kijkuit en ik woon in Zweden, ook hier zijn er veel van de Neerlandse heerlijkheden niet verkrijgbaar dus ik was aangenaam verrast met jou You tube kanaal waar ik kan leren om die zelf te maken.
Helaas is mijn vrouw 4 maanden geleden overleden en die kon veel dingen ook zelf maken. maar nu moet/wil ik dit ook zelf gaan proberen.
Omdat mijn vrouw en ik beide diabetes type 2 patient waren / zijn gebruikte zij vaak een suikervervanger zoals Stevia / Eritrol en een meelsoort met andere en langzamere koolhydraten zoals volkorenmeel, havermout/ havermeel e.d.
Kun je misschien in je recepten aangeven of en hoeveel van de suikervervangende stof ik "kan" gebruiken om toch van de Nederlandse heerlijkheden
En misschien heb je nog andere "tips"en "trucs" voor mij.
groet en succes in je nieuwe baan.
Mark Kijkuit.
