A few years ago, hummus found its way from specialty stores into our “regular” supermarkets. I’m not really surprised this happened – this dip is super tasty and also very versatile. Nowadays you can find all kinds of hummus in stores. The classic hummus with chickpeas and tahini has got some competition. Here, for example, from hummus made with red beets. That does not look only really good, it also tastes extremely delicious ;)
Mexican dishes and the Tex-Mex cuisine from the US found their way to Germany several years ago, but it is still sometimes difficult to get the right ingredients for various recipes. In the US, for example, you can get everything your heart desires. Pre-made enchilada sauce is something you can get in countless versions in supermarkets – ready for you to use in your favorite enchilada recipe. To be honest, I prefer making my own sauces and stuff like that, but having the option – just in case you need it one day when in a hurry – is something I like a lot ;) Well… if you want to make awesome enchiladas and can’t find ready-made sauce in the stores, here’s a recipe to help you easily: Homemade Enchilada Sauce. Only the best, of course! ;)
If you’re into Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, I am pretty sure you’ve come across Refried Beans. These twice-cooked/baked beans are part of many dishes, but also work great with some nachos as a snack for your next party or movie night… in case we are allowed to celebrate parties with other people ever again ;P
If you love Mexican cuisine, you’ve come to the right place. Today I got a very simple “recipe” for a spice mix used in many Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes: Taco Seasoning. Much better (and cheaper) than anything from the supermarket. I promise! ;)
January is the month (after the holidays) where everybody is running to the gym and starts eating healthy stuff. Who cares?! I got something today that will give you the sugar rush of your lifetime! ;) Homemade Honeycomb aka. Sponge Toffee. One of the weirdest sweets I know…
A brand new year is approaching – it could be good to know what is going to happen, right? We are all a bit curious about what the next year might bring. Instead of asking a psychic or trying to read tea leaves, you can make some Fortune Cookies and let them decide what’s coming up… and since you are the one making them and creating the messages, you are the one deciding what’s gonna happen ;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 ;)
