Kitchen-quicky: cous cous salad

Hi everyone! Yes, I am still alive and cooking ;–D I admit: long time no see… or read ;–) But now here I am with a delicious 10-minutes-recipe in tow. A kitchen-quicky for maximum enjoy-time at the table. You see, these days I am running a rather demanding “business” that keeps my me-time at an all-time low. Quick recipes are my life-savers right now, among other things like baby carriers and grannies. Luckily, at the same time, it’s the best job I could imagine doing: being a mother of two :–) This spring my second son joined our family. Ever since […]

Crisp apple treat for cosy Autumn moments

…and here we are, in the final spurt of 2017. Already November 4th! How many days until Xmas?

But the candle lit in the morning at breakfast or in the evening at dinner table shines all the brighter for it. And even though the sky is rather grey and dark […]

Hi guys, here I am back again with a sweet piece of cake poetry: « Juicy, sun-ripenend fruits bedded on soft, wholesome goodness forged together in the heat of a baker’s passion to become the simplest, most humble and nourishing cake. » This truly is a cake that will leave you feel as if you actually ate something healthy – in a good, satisfactory way! Because it IS healthy. But at the same time it does taste like cake. Contradiction? …no, just a successful mix of ingredients ;–) Currently my days are quiet busy, filled with all kind of projects (which […]

banana bread bananen brot

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

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 […]
