Summer is the time for BBQ and salads. When the sun is shining outside and the temperatures are not dropping below 30°C, a light salad is pretty much the only option. Salad is perfect on a hot day. This delicious Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad may not be the »lightest« candidate in the world of salads, but we haven’t reached 30°C in our apartment under the roof yet… we can still manage a few carbs I guess ;P
You can always get me to the table with a tasty stew. A lot of veggies, beans’n’stuff, and maybe some meat too… I love it! This simple Sausage Bean Stew is no different. It tastes so great and is on the table in no time (if you don’t count in the preparation of the beans). What more could you want? A second bowl with stew after the first one has been eaten perhaps ;)
A hot soup is often a »life saver« during the cold season. It won’t thaw frozen feet, but it warms you up nicely from the inside, right? ;P This White Beans, Potato & Chorizo Soup can also be prepared on warmer days… actually all year round if you fancy potatoes, bean and spicy Spanish sausage. This soup tastes great all 365 days of the year ;)
I might sound like a broken radio, but fall and winter are the season for stews in our house! I love me a bubbling pot or hot stew on the stove on a cold and rainy fall day. Something delicious to fill you up good ;P This one here is an exceptionally delicious stew we love to make over and over again – a White Bean Stew with Salsiccia (aka. Italian Sausage). Filling, tasty, and easy to prepare – what’s not to love about that?
As soon as the temperatures are falling the »stew season« starts in our house. There is nothing better than sitting on the sofa, wrapped in a cozy blanket and having a big bowl of stew in front of you. Warmed by the blanket on the outside and by the stew from the inside. So good! This Vegan Lentil & Bean Stew will do this job perfectly. Well… and it’s also delicious. And good for your body I guess – beans and lentils are great for your digestive system ;P
It’s still a bit cold in Germany right now – this means it’s the perfect time for some delicious stew. »Germany meets Spain« is something you could say about this dish. A delicious Stew with Potatoes, Beans, Brussels Sprouts, and Chorizo. You could also call it a German-Spanish chili. If you are not shy when it comes to adding spices to the stew ;) Otherwise, this is just a super tasty dish, not too complicated, and perfect for the Brussels sprouts season (September through March here in Germany). The step-by-step instructions in the recipe below make this delicious dish quite easy to prepare.
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 ;)
