Happy Cookie Friday! Yay! I tend to write this over and over again here, even though I have been repeating myself hundreds of times I guess. There are over 260 cookie recipes on this blog – at least I think so. I don’t know for sure, maybe I should count them… but it’s probably close to that number ;) Anyway. It’s Friday and that means there’s a fresh batch of cookies in the kitchen. Today I baked delicious Raspberry Cashew White Chocolate Cookies for you… such a nice combination!
The season of Lent is upon us ;) The time between Carnival and Easter is a time for many to reflect and to cut back. Not everyone stops eating altogether, but many try to (at least) eat more conscious and leave out alcohol or sweets, for example. We already turned January into “Vegan January” this year – since I am not drinking a lot or eating sweets anymore, cutting back on dairy products and meat once again seemed quite obvious ;)
My blogger colleague Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte and I talked about this topic some time ago and decided to turn our monthly “Bake Together” into a whole week of recipes – all vegan all week long. What could be better to start this vegan week than making something nice for breakfast – the moment the week begins?! Right! So let’s get some oats soaked and some berries ready – it’s Overnight Oats Time ;)
In spring this year I bought a little raspberry bush for our terrace – hoping we could harvest so many raspberries so I could make maybe a cake or raspberry scones like these ones here… but well – this dream did not come true! Not at all. That’s why I had to get some from the farmers market for baking. So sad ;(
On a hot summer day, the oven normally stays off in my kitchen. If possible. It can get really hot in my apartment and adding more heat from an oven would be just too much ;) No-bake cakes are a great option on days like that. Normally pretty easy to prepare and made mostly by the fridge. Even though those fridge cakes are the easiest way to get something sweet, there is much more to make in summer. To show you what I like the most, I put a list together with my Top 10 recipes for summer ;)
It’s cheesecake time! Last week we celebrated Cheesecake Day – well the world did, I totally forgot about that day (shame on me). I could have posted this delicious Berry Cheesecake on that day since the recipe was done for some time already, but hey… every day can be Cheesecake Day! No matter if in spring, summer, fall or winter ;)) So let’s get the plates ready, I get a knife and we can start enjoying this beauty together…
We are right in the middle of the rhubarb season! If you walk down the rows at the farmers market you basically get those red-green stalks thrown into your face :P Well… almost. So why not collect all of that rhubarb and make something delicious? A rhubarb cake for example? I might have a nice recipe for you in case you wanna do that :P
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 ;)
