If you’ve been to the US you probably know this sandwich or even had one already – everybody else probably heard of it at least – the Philly Cheesesteak. Here in Germany, you can find them on many street food markets these days. If you have the opportunity you should try one of them. If there is no food market close by, you can always make them at home… with this recipe here. I think they will be pretty close to the original ones ;)
The season for zucchini starts soon here in Germany – the ones we planted here on our balcony still need some time to get ready… but they are growing nicely so far. Several weeks and we can make this simple Zucchini Beef Skillet with homegrown zucchini I guess ;) Until then… let’s use the ones from the store. Shall we?
Today I can finally show you one of my favorite recipes… delicious potstickers aka. Gyoza! These little fellows can be made with so many different fillings – for this recipe here I stuffed the little dumplings with pork and napa cabbage. So good! Also really easy to prepare – many do not believe it, but dumplings are actually a really easy peasy dish to make ;)
It’s time for something non-sweet. After all the cakes and sweet treats around Mother’s Day, I had to switch things up a bit. Not happening very often around here, I have to admit. Since it’s »Cinco de Mayo« I thought something »Mexican-inspired« could be nice today – so how about some super delicious Cruchwrap Supreme!? Anyone?
I don’t know how your experience is with that, but I have a lot of dishes I connect with my childhood – for example, this Zurich-style Beef & Mushroom Ragout aka. Zürcher Geschnetzeltes. My mom often made it at home when I was a kid because it is really delicious and quite easy to prepare. Every time I cook it, I have a little “flashback” to my childhood ;P
It’s “National Meatball Day” in the United States today! Yes, something like that really exists. There is a lot you can say about the States, stuff you might like, and stuff you hate, but if a country has a special holiday for meatballs… it can’t be all bad, right?! ;) Just kidding – it’s “Meatball Day” and you guessed right – I made Sausage Meatball Subs with tomato sauce, pesto, and last but not least… some delicious melted mozzarella! Probably not a healthy or light lunch option, but who cares… right? It’s really good! ;)
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 ;)
