You’re not in the mood for a big baking session but still want something delicious on the table quickly? Well… how about a simple coffee cake? There is no coffee involved – except you serve something along with the cake – but loads of blueberries and a good amount of streusels. So grab your plate and get a slice of this delicious Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake ;)
Today’s recipe is going to be a bit fishy… well, or let’s say there is fish involved. That probably sounds better ;) Today I got some delicious Salmon Skewers with Peanut Sauce and Vietnamese Noodle Salad. Does not happen too often here on the blog that you’re getting served something like that… even though I really like to eat fish ;) Maybe I should do more recipes with fish. I’m sure there are enough people out there who like some seafood recipes…. ;)
I bet there are a few cinnamon fans out there, right? Most probably think of Christmas when they taste or smell cinnamon… but I think pastries and bakes with cinnamon are great all year round and delicious any time of the year and at any temperature ;P So in case you want to satisfy your cinnamony cravings and don’t want to wait until Christmas you should bake this delicious Cinnamon Streusel Loaf Cake. It’s super easy to prepare and goes great with a cup of coffee in the afternoon ;)
Minestrone is one of the oldest Italian dishes still made in Italian cuisine today. Normally it’s served as an appetizer before the main course, but this version here is actually THE main course. This Minestrone with Orecchiette Pasta is a flavorful dish that will fill you up and warm you at the same time. Unfortunately, this is something you have to start thinking about again in September. There is no way to sugarcoat it: winter is coming! ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! Even though there really isn’t a Cookie Friday anymore…. well. Let’s forget about that real quick. Today we have a quick spontaneous Cookie Friday and of course, I got a fresh batch of cookies for you! Delicious Oatmeal & Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Classic American cookies – big, sweet and worth the extra mile you have to walk after eating one of these cookies ;P So who wants one?
I’m sure you also have some dishes that can bring back childhood memories, right? For me, it’s not the pot of pasta with tomato sauce – my mom did not really like to make that “classic” kids’ dish. As a child, I had sooo many schnitzels with french fries or meatballs with mashed potatoes… those were my favorite dishes. I guess we were a typical carnivorous family ;P Well… that changed. These days we eat much less meat, but still enjoy Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes like these here from time to time. With much more enjoyment since we are not eating it that often ;)
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 ;)
