A few years ago, hummus found its way from specialty stores into our “regular” supermarkets. I’m not really surprised this happened – this dip is super tasty and also very versatile. Nowadays you can find all kinds of hummus in stores. The classic hummus with chickpeas and tahini has got some competition. Here, for example, from hummus made with red beets. That does not look only really good, it also tastes extremely delicious ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! Today I got something delicious for you. Once again, because it’s Friday ;) As soon as oatmeal is involved in the process of making cookies, these little sweet treats automatically turn out super good I think. So are these Oatmeal Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies (very long name, I know).
My bakes for Easter sometimes get out of control. If you have a lot of people around for an extensive breakfast or brunch, you need something good-looking and sweet… and I am not talking about me ;P I mean cake. A nice and big Easter cake like this Hazelnut Eierlikör Layer Cake with Amicelli. Big, beautiful, and a carb disaster… I love it! ;)
The “12 Days of Christmas Cookies” continues – who would have thought of that seeing these Classic Christmas Hazelnut Macaroons, right? ;) One of my favorite Christmas cookie bakes because I looooove me some hazelnuts. They should be on every baking list for Christmas… right next to Vanilla Crescents and Cinnamon Stars. Just saying ;)
Next Saturday, on November 14th, is World Diabetes Day – to draw some attention to this special day I decided to dedicate this week to sugar-reduced and sugar-free recipes. Recipes that are suitable for diabetics, but also good for everyone else ;) Some of you may know – I am a diabetic myself and for me, the topic is quite important ;) That’s why I thought I could show what you can do and how easy it is to reduce or omit the sugar in your diet. Today I’ll start with some delicious Carrot Cake Cupcakes – they are sugar-free and also gluten-free. Oh and really yummy! ;)
Today I got cake for everyone! You probably have seen me writing this sentence here before… with all the things I have baked here for the blog the last several years, I could probably have invited a whole village one afternoon for coffee and cake already. Well… cake for everyone! Yay! ;) I wanted to keep it simple today so I made an easy loaf cake. A delicious Sour Cream Hazelnut Chocolate Loaf Cake. Super juicy and chocolaty! A crowd-pleaser ;)
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 ;)
