It’s time to think about Christmas cookies, right? The Christmas season starts soon – well, in stores it already started some weeks ago ;) The 1st Advent is not far, so let’s talk Christmas cookies, shall we?! Are you the “classic type” that prefers old-fashioned cookies or do you also try “new things” like these Gingerbread Fruit Cake Cookies? If you just said “no” you should think again… these cookies are really delicious ;)
It’s cupcake time! Yay! Finally! It’s been a while since you got some cupcakes from me… that’s why I made some really really nice ones this time. To somehow compensate for the long waiting time ;) So today I got some delicious Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes with a (Ritter Sport) Sesame Chocolate Ganache Filling and Tahini Buttercream Topping. Awesome combination! I am pretty sure you will love it as much as I love it! If you make these fellas, of course! ;)
Like ice in the sunshine, I’m melting awaaaaay… this song comes to my mind as soon as I see ads for ice cream somewhere – especially in the movies when they show that screen with the ice cream selection of the movie theater. The advertising industry did well with that, when they started using this song for ice cream ads back when I was a kid. Burned (or frozen?) into my mind forever ;) Well, I did not want to talk about music but homemade Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream – perfect if you want to cool down a bit this summer…
Yes – it happened… I made a cake without sugar. A delicious apple cake without sugar and actually also a vegan cake. If you know me and my blog you are probably thinking “Why?!”. Normally I am not shy using that white stuff in cakes. The sugar-free cake did not happen because I joined a “Sugar-Free Challenge” nor did it happen because of some New Year’s resolution. Nope. But there is a reason…
Couple days ago I asked my followers on Instagram what kind of recipes they would like to see in 2019 in my blog/Instagram account. The answers were pretty much mixed – some said I should just continue what I do already (thanks!) some others were asking for easy, healthier or more vegan recipes. Well… I love easy recipes, so I will try that for sure. Healthier…hmm. Let’s see ;) More vegan recipes are definitely coming this year. Starting with these Vegan Pecan Cookies ;))
These Christmas cookies today are something my grandma would have never made. Not because she did not like Hazelnut Christmas Cookies – she did not know what vegan means ;) Back when she was still with us she did not know anybody living on a vegan diet (yes – that was quite a while ago). Neither did I back then ;) Well… things change and many things that were not vegan back then are vegan now. Including Christmas cookies like these here. Not a big deal anymore. Baking does not always require products from animals…
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 ;)
