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
Carnival celebrations and fried food belong together like Jack and Jill ;P Don’t you think so? If you’ve had too much to drink while partying, a deep-fried snack like this one here can save your life… or at least create the foundation for more drinking action, if necessary ;P Just kidding! You don’t have to drink any alcohol if you want to enjoy these delicious Mutzenmandeln. You can eat them completely sober all year round if you want!
Well… the plan was actually to NOT bake more for Valentine’s Day this year, but somehow the idea for these Valentine’s Day Craquelin Cream Puffs has been (stuck) in my head for quite a while. They may not be the prettiest cream puffs in the world, but they were definitely made with a lot of love… and maybe they were made because I had to prove something to myself ;P
How about a little snack? If your answer is „yes“, I might have something for you. Delicious deep-fried Mac ‘n’ Cheese Balls. Have you ever tried? If not, it’s about time! These little balls of joy are soooo good ;) Like everything made in a deep-fryer. Unfortunately. You should not have stuff like that too often, but once in a while is ok. Just don’t overdo it. You heard it from me – the biggest fan of deep-fried food ;P
Are you up for a delicious little snack that’s (kind of) healthy and vegan as well? Alright then, get your a** over here and grab one of these delicious Vegan Raspberry Lamington Energy Balls. If you crave a little snack between meals or need some additional energy on an exhausting home office day… get one of these balls! They are really delicious and not too sweet!
Some of you may remember my cookbook “Bake in the USA”… it’s been quite a while already since it got published. Unfortunately, the edition is out of stock and not available in regular bookstores anymore. There are still a few online stores that sell some (leftover) books nobody bought or some used copies, but you need a bit of luck nowadays to find a copy. Fortunately for you, some of the recipes from the book can be found here on the blog. Today I am showing you another recipe from the book… well not exactly the same recipe as it appears in the book, but it is based on one of those recipes: Peanut Butter Cups with Popcorn Topping! Salty, sweet and sticky deliciousness ;)
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 ;)
