Minestrone is one of the oldest Italian dishes still made in Italian cuisine today. Normally it’s served as an appetizer before the main course, but this version here is actually THE main course. This Minestrone with Orecchiette Pasta is a flavorful dish that will fill you up and warm you at the same time. Unfortunately, this is something you have to start thinking about again in September. There is no way to sugarcoat it: winter is coming! ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! Even though there really isn’t a Cookie Friday anymore…. well. Let’s forget about that real quick. Today we have a quick spontaneous Cookie Friday and of course, I got a fresh batch of cookies for you! Delicious Oatmeal & Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Classic American cookies – big, sweet and worth the extra mile you have to walk after eating one of these cookies ;P So who wants one?
I’m sure you also have some dishes that can bring back childhood memories, right? For me, it’s not the pot of pasta with tomato sauce – my mom did not really like to make that “classic” kids’ dish. As a child, I had sooo many schnitzels with french fries or meatballs with mashed potatoes… those were my favorite dishes. I guess we were a typical carnivorous family ;P Well… that changed. These days we eat much less meat, but still enjoy Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes like these here from time to time. With much more enjoyment since we are not eating it that often ;)
Still looking for something to serve on your next Sunday brunch or extended breakfast? What about some nice bread pudding? Ever thought about that? This Bread Pudding with Blueberries is super easy to prepare and really delicious… add some vanilla custard or vanilla ice cream and a coffee and people will not ask for anything else anymore ;P
Happy Birthday to meeee! Yeah… you guessed right. As a food blogger, you have to bake your own birthday cake. Unfortunately, none of my friends or family has ever come up with the idea to bake a cake for me. Maybe they fear I could criticize them for the recipe they used or something like that (which would never happen)… but hey – that’s how it has been for years now. Well. This year I decided to make a very small cake only. With all the COVID restrictions and social distancing, there is no need to bake a big one. So this year I will have this Mini M&M’s Cheesecake only for me… or let’s say almost only me. There are always some people who can smell cake from miles away and they will definitely show up ;P
It’s the end of the month and it’s time for another “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”! It feels like the last one was just yesterday ;) Maybe it’s because Andrea and I just published our new “Bake Together Summer Edition Ebook” this month and had a lot of work to do the past several weeks. Well. More on that later. Today is all about this month’s topic: “Kiwi”! I guess you could see that already on the first picture. A delicious vegan No-Bake Kiwi Coconut Cheesecake. So good!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
