Overripe banana “recycling” = perfect (father’s day-) brekkie highlight

Leave a Reply

Have you ever walked past the fruit area in a shop, wondering who on earth would possibly buy THESE bananas? Already brown and even large black dots all over? Well,… I would. What?? Mustn’t they taste horrible? They are practically compost!? Well,… that completely depends on your way to “recycle” that “compost”… There are quiet a lot of recipes that actually ask for an overripe banana :–) This particular recipe that I want to share with you today even needs three. And once you tried it, you will probably want to buy ALL those “ready-to-compost” bananas in the shop, because you will […]

Brazilian “pão de queijo” cheese (rock’n’)rolls for your Easter Brunch

Can you hear that? Sounds like someone is hopping around… Might just be Easter bunny :–) At my place it’s more likely my personal “bunny” (=my husband) lurking around the kitchen, trying to sneak in unseen. Why? No, not to hide Easter eggs (as is tradition here)… But to nick as many pães de queijo (= Brazilian cheese rolls) as he can possibly carry! And he has big hands! Well… I have to admit, those little cheesy puffs are rather addictive. Rock’n’roll for your taste buds. Or maybe Samba… Either way, a party in your mouth ;–) If you have ever had the chance […]

XmasTree in the oven & magical (pizza-)bread dough

I finally made it to that point :–D My happy Christmas-mood even magically turned our pizzas into Christmas trees last weekend ;–) There is no such thing as magic, you say? But isn’t Christmas all about magic? The enchanting magnificence of glittering snow (it snowed this week – YAY!). How all the Christmas-smells send you on a time travel back to your childhood days. How everyone suddenly finds a free spot in their schedule to meet […]

Baking sweet bread, reminiscing about our beloved dead

Leave a Reply

Hello from the other end of All Hallow’s Eve! Hope you guys spent some fun spooky hours last night :–) Over here in my little hometown it was rather quiet. Not as many trick-or-treaters around as we expected, which didn’t bother my husband in the slightest, as it resulted in more sweets for him… boys… ;–) I guess the neighbouring kids are probably still aware of the potato-scandal from two years back ;–P (see last post for full story). Today, All Saints’ Day, has much deeper roots around here than the present version of Halloween. You might not find too many people roaming the […]
