Thanksgiving is over, let’s get ready for the next holiday: Christmas! The day of the days is only a few weeks away and will come as a complete surprise again for many people out there ;P To make sure you got something delicious to nibble on for the upcoming Advent season I have a traditional German Christmas bake for you – a delicious Cranberry Marzipan Poppy Seed Christmas Stollen. One of my favorite Christmas bakes!
If you want something sweet and want it quick and easy, why not making some cookies? Every time I have a desire for some sweet carbs, cookies are the easiest way to satisfy those cravings ;P With delicious cookies like these White Chocolate & Salted Pretzel Cookies, for example. Easy peasy and great flavors – that’s all I am asking for. That’s all I want :P
Today I got some “soul food” for you – at least that’s what we would call it here. Assuming you like and eat meat. I got a delicious dish that is perfect for fall and winter: Hungarian Goulash! A dish I love since I was a kid. Preparing goulash (the stew, not the soup) takes some time – that’s why we normally make it only on a weekend. Watching a bubbling pot for several hours on a weeknight after work is just not manageable ;)
Winter is coming! How about some extra vitamins? I guess you don’t mind if they are coming in the shape of a nice cake, right?! With this cake, you will make sure everybody gets an extra slice of vitamin C! Are you with me? ;) The mangoes in this (No-Bake) Mango Coconut Cake are sweet, delicious, and are good for your health ;)
Fall/Autumn is pumpkin season, right? That’s why these orange thingies end up often in my cookies around that time… full-size, of course! Just kidding – but I really love to incorporate some pumpkin puree into my cookies. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies are fluffy, chocolaty and crunchy (because of the roasted pumpkin seeds) – a combination you should definitely try!
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 ;)
