Easy Coleslaw with Bacon

As soon as the days get longer in spring and the temperatures rise there is one question that comes up instantly: »When do we do our first BBQ of the season?«. A legitimate question, in my opinion ;) Even though we have a nice indoor grill we can use all year round for grilling meat and veggies, doing it outside on a proper grill is so much better, isn’t it? Something you need on the side with your grilled meat or veggies (no matter if you did it inside or outside on the terrace) – is a nice salad. I think we can all agree. If you like it simple and uncomplicated you should take a look at this Easy Coleslaw with Bacon. The perfect side dish for a BBQ.

Cheesy Spaetzle & Pointed Cabbage Skillet

Winter is the time for cabbage, right? Well… at least in countries like Germany where nothing else grows in winter underneath ice and snow ;P OK – thanks to global climate change the snow and ice appear less often in winter but the “more interesting” veggies still did not adapt to those milder temperatures here. They still prefer the south with its warmth all year round. We have to stick to potatoes, apples, and cabbage in winter. I am OK with that as long as you can do something delicious like this Cheesy Spaetzle & Pointed Cabbage Skillet. So good and so easy to prepare!

Tagliatelle with Savoy Cabbage

30 Minutes or less, Cooking, Pasta No Reply

When it comes to fruits, berries, and veggies in winter, Germany is not the place with the biggest variety. Not much to choose from at local farmer’s markets ;) The selection is much smaller compared to summer and you have to fall back on what is available: potatoes and cabbage! Something you can get without any problems everywhere. To honor this fact (or just to make the best out of what we have) I got the perfect fall recipe for you: Tagliatelle with Minced Meat and Savoy Cabbage. Nom nom ;)
