One of the first things I tried when we visited Amsterdam in October was a fresh, hot Stroopwafel (literally translates to syrup waffle) from a stand in the Albert Cuyp Markt. I have enjoyed the packaged stroopwafels that are becoming more popular at specialty stores in the United States, but there isn’t much better than…

I will be covering the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank Huis, food and shopping, and a recipe for Hutspot met Gehaktballen (Dutch Mashed Potatoes and Carrots with Meatballs).

Rotterdam: Maritiem Museum, Markthal, and Patatje Oorlog (Dutch War Fries)

After a full first day (Vondelpark, the Heineken Experience, Albert Cuyp Markt), both kids adjusted amazingly well and slept through…
Amsterdam: Vondelpark, The Heineken Experience, Albert Cuyp Markt, Foodhallen, and Bitterballen
The Netherlands will always hold a special place in my heart as our first international vacation with Evan and Claire. We went for a week and had such an incredible time. I will be sharing our experiences in a series of posts along with recipes of some of our favorite foods. We took an overnight,…
