Do you need something small to snack because there is not enough time to do lunch? Well… how about some Vegan Cinnamon Energy Balls? Those little energy boosters are ready in no time and can then be taken anywhere you go. A convenient snack you can enjoy any time of the day (or night if you need to) ;P
Another year comes to an end. Somehow I had the feeling that this year passed by much faster than usual. I know that the older you get, the faster the years go by, at least it feels that way, but this year was a bit different. Because of COVID and all the time spent at home, it sometimes seems to me as if the previous pandemic-free years are already far in the past and we’re jetted through 2021 with turbo engines. Oh well. Everything will be better next year. Isn’t that what they say? This should be celebrated properly, with these delicious New Year’s Eve Donuts aka. Berliner Pfannkuchen – that’s what we call it here ;)
Last Call! If you still need a small gift for Christmas, you’re already a bit late. Fortunately, however, there is something that is ready in no time and can be beautifully wrapped as a gift for friends and family: XMAS Chocolate Bark aka. Salted Caramel Chocolate Bark with Pecans. This sweet snack is ready in no time and can be a small gift along with some wine or the main gift if you haven’t been able to go shopping for something else ;P I would be definitely happy about a jar full of it…
Around Christmas, there is always a party or gathering to attend to and, of course, many times you want to bring a small gift if you are invited by friends or relatives to say thank you. In my case, I like to bring something homemade instead of a bottle of wine or something else from a store. Around Christmas there is so much you can bring – homemade Christmas Stollen, Christmas cookies, or, for example, this Hazelnut Nougat Chocolate Candy. It’s easy to prepare and makes a nice gift I think ;)
Cake pops and I have never really been big friends – at least when I have to make them myself. I actually really like them. Eating them and looking at them. Delicious cake balls covered in chocolate and decorated beautifully – who doesn’t like that?! ;) But after my very first attempt making them a few years ago, I had to realize that there is a lot that can go wrong with these little cakes on sticks. These Brownie Reindeer Cake Pops are not without flaw… but really damn tasty :P
You would like to have something sweet for dessert now? No problem. If you have some puff pastry in your fridge, some cream cheese, and an apple you can make these delicious Apple Cheesecake Turnovers in no time. Quick and easy recipe and pretty darn delicious I might add ;) Perfect for your cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon. No need to bake a cake for 10 people if you want a small snack only ;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 ;)
