Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! One of my favorite sayings when it comes to food. Doesn’t make any sense at all, but sounds kind of funny ;) I don’t really remember where I heard it for the first time… I think it was Trixie Mattel. She likes to say things like that. Well. I don’t know if these (Southern Style) Buttermilk Chicken Sandwiches count as a complete “dinner” – probably not – but they are definitely a tasty bite whenever you are hungry for chickin ;)
I know it sounds a bit weird to eat something hot and spicy in summer, something that can make you sweat, but that is actually exactly what you need sometimes! Look at the Asian cuisine – full of hot and spicy curries – which are eaten all year round at any temperature ;) When I visited Asia and Thailand in particular for the first time, I kind of fell in love with curry. All those fresh ingredients and all those incredible flavors! I really love it! This Vegan Red Thai Pumpkin Curry is a good example here – so delicious and actually quite easy to prepare. I did not make it too hot, but if you can stand the heat, feel free to spice it up! ;P
The season for zucchini starts soon here in Germany – the ones we planted here on our balcony still need some time to get ready… but they are growing nicely so far. Several weeks and we can make this simple Zucchini Beef Skillet with homegrown zucchini I guess ;) Until then… let’s use the ones from the store. Shall we?
I might have mentioned it before – I’m a huge fan of dumplings. Any kind of dumplings. No matter if they are cooked in soup, deep-fried, or just steamed… these little fellas are almost always delicious. Today I got some vegan dumplings made in a bamboo steamer for you. Delicious steamed Dumplings with Mushrooms and Napa Cabbage. Nom Nom… ;)
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?
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
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 ;)
