In the US, you can find Tater Tots in a lot of buffets – they are very popular. Doesn’t matter if it’s for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are great along with your scrambled eggs and bacon in the morning, or as a side with a meatloaf and gravy in the evening. Or as a snack whenever you are in the mood ;P
Small but mighty – that’s what my grandma used to say to me. I don’t know what she meant by that, because I was neither small nor mighty. Maybe a bit overweight ;P Well… this saying might apply to these delicious Chocolate Chip Spelt Cookies with Mini M&M’s. Small cookies, big impact. Anyone who’s able grab one of these little cookies will certainly be able to confirm this…
I’m not sure whether Pickled Gherkins with Mustard Seeds are something special from Germany and our neighboring countries or not. Probably not quite… but I also don’t think you can find them everywhere in the world. Many people will probably never have heard of them ;P We love these pickled gherkins a lot here – the perfect snack or side for a classic »German Abendbrot«. I guess that makes me very German ;P
Cookies are always a great snack when you’re craving something sweet, no matter if it is summer or winter. At the height of summer, however, those extra large, chocolate and sugar-loaded are not always the best option. These small, delicious Lemon Drop Cookies are much better in this case (I think). Not too big, not too sweet, and refreshingly lemony… Just perfect for hot summer days ;)
There are many food trends and specialties that sound interesting at first, but when you try them… oh boy. I’m thinking about butter boards, for example. They look nice, but somehow it’s also absolute rubbish (sorry) ;P With Deep-fried Pickles, I also thought at first »Sounds interesting, but they could be horrible«. That’s why I put them off for a long time. But what can I say!? Delicious! They might not be right for everyone, but we really like them! ;)
Cookies come in all sizes, all types of flavors, and are made with many different ingredients. These Simple & Easy Ricotta Rookies are perhaps a little smaller and more colorful than my usual cookies, but no less delicious! I can really recommend these little fellas! Great flavor, great texture, and they look fun too… what more could you want!? ;)
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 ;)
