Happy Blueberry Picking Day to all of you! Yes… something like that really exists ;) So let’s celebrate this special day In honor of all people that work in the blueberry picking industry and, of course, to honor these little blue fellas! I made a delicious Charlotte with Strawberries and Blueberries (cause you should never party alone)! ;))
Strawberries are everywhere right now. Everywhere on the street, the markets and also in our kitchen ;) Here in Berlin you can find little booths at almost every corner selling strawberries and is very tempting each time you pass by. Well… most of the time I actually do not pass by but stop and buy some strawberries. That’s probably the reason why I have so many recipes with strawberries here on the blog already. Which brings me to this little collection here. Since I have so many recipes with strawberries, why not sharing with you my top 10 favorite strawberry recipes on the blog?
Is there something you like so much you can’t say “no” even though you know it is not the best for you? Since I am trying to eat less (to almost none) sugar I reduced eating sweet stuff a lot. No more sweet baked goods from the coffee shop, no more chocolate after dinner or gummy bears when too lazy to make a proper meal ;P Most of the time it’s absolutely no problem to skip the sweet stuff. Sometimes I might get a bit emotional when standing in front of a bakery with a lot of nice sweet bakes on display – but as soon as I turn around and everything is out of sight, I am fine again… except there is some good-looking cheesecake. That always gets me… like this Strawberry Cheesecake for example ;)
I am a huge fan of Eierlikör… that delicious yellow liquor made with rum and eggs. It is not that common outside of Germany and its neighboring countries I think. The U.S. has something that could be considered “similar” but it is actually not – eggnog ;) Even though Eierlikör and eggnog are from two different worlds, you can use both in the same way in bakes. Because I like it so much, I made a little list with my favorite recipes.
Yesterday I published an easy recipe for a sweet and delicious Lemon Curd… so what could be better than use it right away to make something equally delicious? Yeah, right? Makes sense… if life gives you lemon curd – make a Lemon Cheesecake Pie topped with Lemon Curd and Whipped Cream! ;)
There is always room for some cheesecake, right?! In my home for sure! Everybody loves cheesecake here – no matter what kind of cheesecake. Big ones or smaller ones baked in glass jars like this one here with blueberries – all of them are welcome in our home and bellies ;) Don’t worry there are enough glass jars for everyone…
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 ;)
