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…
When life gives you lemons… make delicious lemon bars. I don’t drink lemonade anymore, so this is the best option for me :P Well… I guess you know this old saying. If life is treating you badly (or maybe a person) – make the best out of it. No matter if it’s lemonade or lemon bars. A piece of cake definitely makes you feel better and then you can handle everything else much better, right? :P
Did you know it’s “International Picnic Day”?! Oh yes – that’s a thing ;) So let’s grab some food and find a nice place outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air, shall we?! I made some delicious Empanadas with Chimichurri Sauce – enough to feed a football team! That should be a nice snack for our picnic…
Once again… it’s “Bake Together” time! Every last Sunday of the month Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I are doing our little baking event called “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” and this months topic can be described as “let’s do something with strawberries and maybe pudding?!” – yeah! ;) Well… good choice! So today I got a new recipe for you with strawberries and pudding aka. Danish with Vanilla Custard and Strawberries. So good!
It is “Bake Together” time again! Yaaay! It’s been quite a while since Andrea and I have been baking together. We did not do anything in December because of the holidays so it’s two months already… Let’s get the new season started with something nice. Andrea and I both love yeast bakes so we decided to dedicate this month to yeast! Ok, that might be a topic which is too broad. Let’s say little pastries with a yeast dough ;) Well, these Poppy Seed Rolls aka. Mohnschnecken definitely fit in that category…
Maybe you know these kinds of situations too… when you listen to a certain song or you smell a certain food or perfume you get instantly transported in your mind to a memory where this song or smell played an important role or is somehow connected with a (more or less) important memory. I have for example a compilation of songs I call “Pet Sematary Songs”. When I was a child I was reading Steven King books like crazy and one of them was “Pet Sematary” – back then I listened to only a few CDs with the same songs over and over. Nowadays when I hear these songs I am immediately back in my old bedroom, lying on the bed and reading this book. Every single time I listen to one of those songs ;) It’s quite a strong connection. How are these Churros with Chocolate Sauce connected to that you may ask? Well…. ;)
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 ;)
