Summer is (almost) here and this means, of course, it’s bbq season once again. Time to heat up the grill and “annoy” the neighbors with some delicious smells ;P Besides all the meat and sausages for your bbq you also need side dishes to feed the masses. Potato salad is a popular salad and side dish here in Germany when it comes to grilling. Today’s potato salad is an updated version of the classic salad: Crispy Smashed Potato Salad with Bacon and Tzatziki. Sounds good, right?
What are you normally eating for breakfast? Bread rolls and maybe some cold cuts or jam? Well… how about something new? Something different? How about some Breakfast Quesadillas with Scrambled Eggs? I am pretty sure there are many out there that would like to eat that each morning to start the day perfectly ;)
Do you like oatmeal cookies? I am actually a huge fan of Swedish Havreflarn aka. Swedish Oatmeal Cookies. I have to admit that I have some problems with the name – nonetheless very delicious ;) Super simple cookies you can snack between meals or in my case use them for no-bake cakes as a base. The only problem I have with these cookies – everything you can buy in supermarkets (or at IKEA) is loaded with sugar. That’s how they are normally done… but that does not mean you can’t make them sugar-free. Like these sugar-free fellas here ;P
Sometimes there is no way to get around it… Baked Feta Pasta drove the internet wild some time ago. It took me a while to understand why… but I do now. A super simple dish that tastes really delicious. It’s the perfect meal to prepare when coming home from work and don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Just grab a block of feta, some tomatoes and you’re almost ready to go ;)
If you like vanilla custard, you’ll probably love these Vanilla Croissants with Custard Filling! Fluffy yeast dough nestles around a nice vanilla custard – an absolute highlight when it comes to baking! Luckily, these little croissants are quite easy to prepare. Take a look at the recipe and you will see ;)
I made a classic German cake today – a cake that is quite popular here in Germany: German Mole Cake with Bananas. Most people here probably know this cake from the supermarket where you can find it in the aisle with baking ingredients… as a box cake mix ;) Well. Nothing we are using here, so this one is made from scratch, of course. And much better than the one from the box I have to add ;P
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 ;)
