Huevos Rotos aka. (Spanish) Broken Eggs with Potatoes

Spain has been the most popular holiday destination for Germans in the last decade I think (if you exclude Germany itself from the list). The preference for Spain as a vacation destination is probably not only due to the beautiful weather they got down there. The delicious food in Spain will certainly also play a role here. I am not a beach vacationer. I prefer to stroll through a city and eat my way through all the regional specialties. One of my favorite Spanish dishes is definitely Huevos Rotos aka. Broken Eggs. The perfect dish for a hot Spanish night out ;P

Sausage, Potato & White Jumbo Bean Stew

Cooking, Stew No Reply

In times, I am not sure what to cook, a delicious stew is often the first (and most often best) choice. A few ingredients are thrown into a large pot, you let them cook/brown a bit to get some nice flavors, and then you add broth or something similar. A short time later you got yourself a delicious meal ready to be served. This simple Sausage, Potato & White Jumbo Bean Stew also follows this principle. Everything is done in one pot and super easy to do. You can enjoy the stew on a cold day as well as on warm days – always great! ;)

Vegan Chickpea & Potato Soup

Bake Together, Soup, Stew, Vegan No Reply

If you are the type of person that does not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, something like a simple soup or stew is always a good choice. In a short time, you can prepare a delicious meal with a few simple ingredients that can feed a large family if you want to ;) This Vegan Chickpea & Potato Soup takes about 1 hour until it’s ready on the table, but the majority of that time you don’t have to do anything. You let the soup simmer away and actually do not even have to pay attention to it until it’s done ;)

German Potato Salad with Wieners

Christmas, Salad No Reply

There are two options here in Germany when it comes to dinner on Christmas Eve: you either cook a lot or you do not cook at all… or only the bare minimum to not let the family starve ;P In many German families it’s tradition to not (really) cook for Christmas. We love to serve simple dishes like Potato Salad with Sausages (aka. Wieners). The perfect dish to make (in my option) when you have already enough to do with decorating and the whole gift wrapping and stuff like that. Right? ;)

Zuppa Toscana (Olive Garden Copycat)

Cooking, Fall, Soup No Reply

I got something for all you kale fans out there. Well… actually there is not that much kale in this Zuppa Toscana, to be honest. It’s actually more like “the green icing on top of the cake”. Yeah, you could say that ;) Anyway – the soup is the perfect meal on a cold winter day to warm you from the inside and give you all the energy (means calories) you need to keep you warm when going outside ;P
