Chicken Gyro Salad

When it gets really hot in summer, I am not too fond of a warm meal. Therefore, I nibble away on a salad on a daily basis. To be honest, there are great salads, but when I’m in my daily routine I catch myself eating the same stuff time and again. Booooriiing. So I tried…

Too good to go

As a student I am conflicted about food every day: shoestring budget but a lot of love for vegetables and fruits, preferably from local and organic sources. This only works out well occassionally and I have to compromise either in quality, quantity or reduce other spendings. I found a good golden mean by accident. The…

Port de Pollenca

A few weeks ago, I fled from the freezing temperatures in Germany and escaped to Mallorca for a short trip. I booked a simple but wonderful Hostal close to the port of Palma de Mallorca and seized the days to explore the region. I took the bus to Port de Pollenca on my first day,…

Spaghetti with meatballs

This is one of the classics that I learned to cook and to love while living in the US. The recipe my hostmom gave to me came without a sauce so I combined the meatball recipe with the sauce that my grandma taught me. Ingredients – meatballs: 1.25 lbs ground turkey 1.25 lbs ground beef…

On rituals and dreams

Different strokes for different folks. This phrase can be linked to various situations. For instance, many people have shared rituals which may appear strange to other; welcomings, register, repeating actions. Just like my mother and I.

something new: a hot and creamy chicken soup

🇩🇪 You are all aware of it by now: I love soup. One of my all-time favourites is chicken soup, but I feel like I am getting tired of this good old classic. That’s why I did some research and wrote a new chicken soup recipe last week. It is creamy and spicy and very…

Seasonal baking

🇩🇪 I am sorry I’ve been out of touch lately, but I’ve been thinking long and hard about this post. To be more specific: I have been thinking about baked goods. There. I said it. Those of you who have read several of my recipes may have noticed that I always encourage seasonal cooking meaning…

Baked Paprika-Turkey Stew

🇩🇪 Last night I felt like taking the time to cook something a bit more special and I already knew the ingredients, but I just couldn’t find the right recipe… so I ended up writing one myself. :D I present to you my very own „Geschnetzeltes“ (a dish that kind of works like a baked…

Nothing written, again.

🇩🇪 Sometimes I am just sitting here, staring at my laptop. I want to write. But it doesn’t work. Then I resort to other things; editing photos, watching YouTube videos, reading what other bloggers write. I get up, make some food, check my my phone, sit down again,… and after a few hours I give…
