I guess… if you like to cook and bake as much as I do, you normally have something prepared when guests come over, right? Whenever I got someone coming to our place for a movie or game night I love to prepare stuff I normally don’t do (during the week). Snacks that are great for a crowd but not perfect if you are only two at home. Snacks like these Potato Skins with Bacon & Cheese, for example. Absolutely divine but a bit much if you want to eat all of them alone ;P
Do you know “Hocus Pocus”? The movie from the 90s? It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Bette Midler was just terrific as Winifred Sanderson ;) Finally, after almost 30 years of waiting a second movie with the Sanderson sisters will be released soon. To celebrate this special day I made some delicious Hocus Pocus (Spell Book) Brownies. Delicious fudgy brownies packed with chocolate and walnuts and a special “look & feel” ;)
Pasta is often referred to as “comfort food”. Food that somehow reminds you of childhood, good times and lifts your spirits. I don’t know if I would say that about this Pasta Arrabbiata with Salsiccia here. This dish does have quite a bit of “kick” from the chili. I’m not sure I would have appreciated this as a kid ;P Quite the opposite of today… give me a plate of this spicy pasta and I’m more than happy!
September is almost over. This means it’s time for another “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte – our monthly baking event. It seems like the last one was only days ago ;) Well… today we are baking something with apples and pears – the title “Apple & Pear Strudel with Filo Dough” probably gave it away already ;P
You don’t always need a big cake or a pie if you are craving something sweet. Sometimes a plain muffin is all you need. By “plain” I do not mean “boring”. These Double Chocolate Berry Muffins are far from boring. They are the perfect sweet treat for all the chocolate lovers out there. Conveniently, these little fellas are ready in no time. What more could you want? ;)
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 ;)
