Vegan Summer Rolls with Crispy Tofu

July 2023 has been the hottest month in (recorded) history. When it’s hot outside we tend to go for lighter and healthier »summer dishes«. A lot of salad, veggies, fuits, and rather smaller snacks instead of heavy and hearty dishes with loads of carbs and/or fat. That stuff is perfect for winter when you need the extra energy ;P We love to make these Vegan Summer Rolls with Crispy Tofu in summer. Super easy to prepare and with the extremely delicious peanut dipping sauce just terrific! Really! You have to try it! Unless you are allergic to peanuts… then you might want to go for a sweet’n’sour dipping sauce instead ;P

Meatballs with Parmesan & Arugula Risoni

Cooking, Pasta No Reply

I am a big fan of vegetarian and vegan cuisine. We eat veggies and salad basically every day of the week. However, there is one »meaty« thing/dish I love a lot and can’t resist when in front of me: meatballs! I don’t know why, but if they are served somewhere, I’m the first to grab one. Even if I have to push other people to the side ;P That’s why we have Meatballs with Parmesan & Arugula Risoni on a regular basis. They are sooo delicious! And quite easy and uncomplicated to prepare I may add. In a little more than 30 minutes you will get this dish on your table. Quicker than most delivery services ;P

Delicious Stews for Fall & Winter

Soup, Stew No Reply

When the temperatures go down, the time has come for delicious soups and stews. They are made for colder days. In summer, I try to avoid eating hot soups/stews because they make me sweat. In fall and winter, they are perfect. They warm you from the inside and if you fall into a “food coma” nobody cares. You can just lie down on the sofa and relax ;P

Salmon Durum Wheat Bowl

Fish No Reply

Some of you out there probably have the same problem: one of the family does not like to eat fish and as a result, you are cooking fish only once every century ;P Well… that’s what is happening here. I love eating and cooking fishy dishes but I always have to make them for myself. Nobody else here would eat it. Even these delicious Salmon Bowls with Durum Wheat… only for me! In this case, I don’t mind. They are so easy to make and can be done for one person only quite quickly.

Easy Chorizo Gnocchi Pan

Cooking, Pasta No Reply

Dinner does not have to be complicated. We love a quick and easy dinner… for example, made with gnocchi. For that reason, we normally have a package of pre-made gnocchi from the store in the fridge. You can do a lot with these potato dumplings and in most cases, the preparation is done in no time! Same for this delicious Easy Chorizo Gnocchi Pan here. Spain meets Italy and everyone is happy about it ;)

Easy Kimchi Fried Rice

30 Minutes or less, Cooking No Reply

I’d say everyone out there knows fried rice and has probably eaten it already. In Asia, every country/region has its own popular version of this dish. The recipes are usually simple – often made with leftover rice, veggies, and maybe some “protein” aka. chicken, beef, or eggs, for example. In Korea, they got this Kimchi Fried Rice and as the name reveals already, it’s made with delicious Kimchi ;) Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but we really like the combination! Soo delicious!
