Today is “National Potato Day” in the US. Yay, right?! This might not really affect us here in Germany, but I think it can’t hurt if I do something else besides baking cakes and cupcakes from once in a while. It’s too warm anyway to bake a cake and try to frost it with buttercream right now. Let’s do something savory for a change. Baked Sweet Potatoes with Chickpeas, Spinach, and Tahini Sauce… sounds good, right? ;)
Asparagus season is in full swing. If you live in a region where asparagus is grown you can’t get away from it. As soon as they sprout up, they’re sold on every corner. I’m not complaining here – I really love asparagus ;) Whether it’s white or green, I don’t really care… it’s all delicious. But for a dish like these Spaghetti al Limone, the green asparagus is definitely better suited… the vibrant green color looks so good here ;)
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 ;)
