Summer is the time for veggies from your own garden… if you have one. One of the easiest and most productive veggies to grow is definitely zucchini. In case you got a few home-grown zucchini lying around, you might want to take a look at these delicious Zucchini Fries with Ranch Dip. Quick and easy to prepare and really tasty. Like everything deep-fried. ;P
Is there anything better than having a big plate of food on the table where everyone can help themselves as they please? These easy Nachos with Chili con Carne are perfect for evenings when you’re sitting together, chatting, having fun and want to munch on something. You could also enjoy a little tray like this on the couch when watching a movie. No need to share with other people. ;P
There are sweet snacks you should always have when entertaining people at home. These simple and easy Black and White Cookies (we call them Bunte Amerikaner) are prefect for any type of celebration. No matter whether it’s a birthday party (for kids), a carnival gathering or whatever. If you want some colorful snacks, make these little cakes and be generous with the rainbow sprinkles! ;P
This is a sweet and tasty snack that everyone knows from the Christmas market – Roasted (Candied) Almonds are very popular here in Germany. A little bag of these almonds can be quite expensive at the Christmas market, though. Well, why not make them from scratch at home? It’s an easy task and the result is equally delicious. No need to spend your hard-earned money on a Christmas market ;P
I’m a big fan of cookies – everyone around me knows that by now. Today, I have a new recipe for something that could be described as »cookie adjacent«. They belong somehow in the cookie world, but they’re not cookies: Mini M&M’s Cookie Cups with Spelt Flakes. Delicious little bites with healthy spelt flakes, peanut butter, and chocolate. The perfect snack when craving something sweet and slightly salty at the same time ;P
In the US, you can find Tater Tots in a lot of buffets – they are very popular. Doesn’t matter if it’s for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are great along with your scrambled eggs and bacon in the morning, or as a side with a meatloaf and gravy in the evening. Or as a snack whenever you are in the mood ;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 ;)
