HEARTY CHICKEN AND PASTA SOUP

Every time fall knocks on the door I get the sudden urge to bundle up in my sofa with layers and layers of blankets, tea and popcorn to watch series. I barely touched my Netflix account in the summertime but the last couple of days I’ve been binge watching pretty much everything. I finished The…

CHEATERS PRETZEL BITES w/ CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE

With me having a degree and some working experience in the pastry-field one could suspect that I have a sweet tooth. But no, I’m a savory girl (except when it comes to After Eights, never leave me alone with a box. I tell you, both you and me will regret it later). But recently I’ve discovered…

TURMERIC ROASTED CAULIFLOWER w/ DATES AND ALMONDS

I had such big plans for this weekend accompanied by a to-do list of the longer kind. And it went so well to start with. Monday was one of those super-productive ways and I woke up on Tuesday feeling like a boss. Then I got a minor headache at my lecture, and to be honest,…

SALAD w/ ROASTED PLUMS & SAVORY GRANOLA

Sure, I hated it to bits as a teenager stuck on an island with a ferry that sometimes got canceled because of wind. But…

BLACK FOREST BROWNIE

Someone asked me how it felt to know that a lot of strangers read my blog, people I’ve never met in real life and I can’t say I had a good answer to that question. Firstly, all of you leave such sweet comments that make my day every time (can’t really have  bad day anymore) so I…

QUINOA RISOTTO w/ CHANTERELLES AND POMEGRANATE

You know that morning you step outside the door and meet the first chilly breeze of the season? This morning was THAT morning. The first morning of autumn and I was a bit too exited. To me autumn is the best. It’s change in the air and I could do whatever I want with the new…

LOUISIANA STYLE PORK STEW

To be honest, I’ve been feeling a bit down this week. I guess it’s the stress of starting school that caught up on me, the teachers really went all out this semester with assignments, quizzes and cases. One evening this week, when I got home, exhausted from a especially hard day I really made this to cheer me up;…
