Unfortunately, not many recipes were passed down from one generation to the next in our family. Many in our family liked to bake, cook, and eat, but writing down recipes and sharing them with someone… not so much. I am probably the first one to do this properly ;P However, one recipe has managed to be passed on: Grandma’s Pasta Salad (with Mayonnaise). A classic pasta salad that’s a standard for our BBQ gatherings ;)
In our house, everyone is always very happy when a wok is being heated, because it means something delicious is about to be made ;) We love Asian cuisine and love to prepare whatever we can at home. These delicious Stir-Fry Hoisin Chicken Noodles, for example. Great flavors and really easy to prepare. The perfect dish for a weeknight when time is limited, but you still want something tasty on your plates or in your bowls.
We’re big pasta fans here! There are so many delicious pasta dishes out there to try… all those delicious carb bombs! Something that, unfortunately, can’t be denied. Loads of carbs ;) However, if you counteract the carbs with a few veggies, like I did here with the Green Goddess Pasta, the carbs are not as bad I guess… at least that’s what I am telling myself ;P
Summer is the time for BBQ and salads. When the sun is shining outside and the temperatures are not dropping below 30°C, a light salad is pretty much the only option. Salad is perfect on a hot day. This delicious Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad may not be the »lightest« candidate in the world of salads, but we haven’t reached 30°C in our apartment under the roof yet… we can still manage a few carbs I guess ;P
I love pasta – so a big bowl of noodles is something I absolutely gravitate to… even though I should avoid carbs. But what can you do when something is so delicious? It’s no different with these Fettuccine al Limone with Green Asparagus. So good! This dish is particular popular here in spring and beginning of summer when asparagus is available from local farms. Local and seasonal is always the best, right?! ;)
We love wok dishes – they are often easy to prepare and really delicious. What else could you want? You heat up that big metal thing, throw everything inside, add a sauce, and lunch or dinner is ready. It’s that easy ;) These Yaki Udon Noodles with Pork are no different – super easy to do and on the table in record time. Well… and delicious. Should mention that as well I guess ;)
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 ;)
