Are you also sometimes too lazy to get bread for breakfast from the bakery in the morning? I always have to take the dog out on a walk in the morning, so I can always stop by the bakery, but I would prefer to stay in bed, actually ;) If you’re smart, you can avoid the early walk to a bakery or supermarket and prepare your breakfast – like these Chia Puddings – in advance so you don’t have to leave the house in the morning… It’s pretty easy actually. Meal prep is the “magic word” here.
There is always “something” that is taking over the food world by storm. It’s either a certain fruit or veggie that is suddenly popular – or dishes everybody wants to make and post on Instagram. It’s a “trendy” thing for the ones that did not know about it, and “old news” to those that have eaten – whatever it is – their whole life. The avocado is a good example, as well as the Dalgona Coffee (the number one coffee trend this summer) or this Shakshuka (with black beans) here… all of a sudden it’s everywhere and everybody wants it ;P
Happy Cookie Friday! The weekend is just around the corner and, of course, I got a batch of fresh cookies for you! It wouldn’t be Friday if I had no cookies ;) Today I got classic Chocolate Chip Cookies in a not so classic way… they are a bit smaller than usual and work well with a bowl milk: Cereal Chocolate Chip Cookies with Browned Butter! Sounds good, right?!
Are you looking for something special for breakfast? If you answer is “hell(eloo) yes!” you should definitely check out these delicious Breakfast Tacos with Chicken ;) If you are planning a more “elaborate” breakfast or brunch for your friends or family, these fellas here are something everybody will love! I have to admit though, that I have already shared this portion of six tacos with only one other person… so you actually do not need a whole family to eat all of them. Just sayin’ ;P
The season of Lent is upon us ;) The time between Carnival and Easter is a time for many to reflect and to cut back. Not everyone stops eating altogether, but many try to (at least) eat more conscious and leave out alcohol or sweets, for example. We already turned January into “Vegan January” this year – since I am not drinking a lot or eating sweets anymore, cutting back on dairy products and meat once again seemed quite obvious ;)
My blogger colleague Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I talked about this topic some time ago and decided to turn our monthly “Bake Together” into a whole week of recipes – all vegan all week long. What could be better to start this vegan week than making something nice for breakfast – the moment the week begins?! Right! So let’s get some oats soaked and some berries ready – it’s Overnight Oats Time ;)
It’s time to cut back. That’s what people tend to do right now. Cut back on sweets, coffee, alcohol, fun… I don’t care. If I want something sweet I make something sweet. Something like this Shibuya Honey Toast with loads of fresh fruit and berries. Because I’m in a good mood I also throw some ice cream on top. More is more :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 ;)
