Easy Peasy Arugula Pesto

Homemade, Pasta 1 Reply

Simple noodles with pesto are probably one of the most popular pasta dishes. They are normally ready in no time without much effort. I suspect, however, that many people will go for store-bought pesto because they don’t want to invest the extra work for homemade pesto… even though it’s super easy to make and most of the time so much better when made fresh than anything you can buy in a supermarket ;P Best example – this simple and delicious Homemade Arugula Pesto aka. Pesto Verde. Ready in less than 5 minutes. Pasta normally takes longer than that to cook… ;)

Easy Homemade Enchilada Sauce

Cooking, Homemade No Reply

Mexican dishes and the Tex-Mex cuisine from the US found their way to Germany several years ago, but it is still sometimes difficult to get the right ingredients for various recipes. In the US, for example, you can get everything your heart desires. Pre-made enchilada sauce is something you can get in countless versions in supermarkets – ready for you to use in your favorite enchilada recipe. To be honest, I prefer making my own sauces and stuff like that, but having the option – just in case you need it one day when in a hurry – is something I like a lot ;) Well… if you want to make awesome enchiladas and can’t find ready-made sauce in the stores, here’s a recipe to help you easily: Homemade Enchilada Sauce. Only the best, of course! ;)

If you’re into Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, I am pretty sure you’ve come across Refried Beans. These twice-cooked/baked beans are part of many dishes, but also work great with some nachos as a snack for your next party or movie night… in case we are allowed to celebrate parties with other people ever again ;P
