Winter cake 🍰

🇩🇪 What to do if the old apples, that you meant to eat since forever, really have to be eaten? Mom’s good ol‘ apple cake! :) Today with my own turn on it to get a little bit in the mood for winter. You need: 1/2 cup Butter 2/3 cup Sugar 2-3 Eggs 1 Pinch…

León – small but sweet 🐾

🇩🇪 A while ago I visited a German friend, who’s spending her term abroad in León, a cute little town that isn’t too far from Valladolid. Unfortunaltey, the weather was wet, cold and rather hazy, so our minds where rather set on a nice cup of tea instead of sightseeing. Of course, we had a…

Eggplant-Avocado dish

🇩🇪 Anyone who loves eggplants? Normally, I am not really a fan, but today I found this beauty: I never had that kind of eggplant, which is why it imediately went into my shopping basket along with other rather random items out of which I – rather accidentally – created one of the best dishes…

♥ Lovedimples ♥

🇩🇪 All I wanted were a few yummy cookies! Nothing sticky sweet , nothing unfamiliar; I wanted cookies from home. So, off I went, baking German christmas cookies. I know, I know… way to early! But, hey, I had some leftover marmelade… 🙈Usually my Lovedimples look a lot prettier (and taste better) but I still…

Toledo – old is an understatement 🏰

🇩🇪 I visited Toledo about a week ago, a town not far from Madrid. No one can tell anymore for sure how old the town in the heart of the city walls is, but there are evidently vaults dating back to the first!!! century. The historic city centre  only measures up to about a mile…

Stuffed butternut squash 🎃

🇩🇪 Fall is the pumpkin season!!! 🎃 Actually, I don’t like pumpkin – apart from Pumpkin-Coconut-Soup – but the local butternut squash (calabaza moscada) winked at me in the store for weeks. Finally, I carved (pun intended!) and I have to admit that I loved this recipe against all prejudices. I can’t even describe the…

Nut-nougat Cheesecake

🇩🇪 It is about time to launch something different from boring travelogues, right? So here you’ve got my slightly improvised New York Cheesecake recipe, which I spiked up with Nut-nougat-cream. :) Up and at’em! Base: 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup crushed cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (eg. Oreos) 1/4 brown sugar 6 tbsp butter,…

San Sebastián (Donostia) 🌊

🇩🇪 Sooo, I finally got around to part two of my report on last weekend: San Sebastián. An amazingly pretty little town at the coast near the French border. The weather was unfortunately not at its best, but what can you do? I loved it nevertheless. There isn’t incredibly much to see in San Sebastián…

☼ Bilbao ☼

🇩🇪 Last  weekend I went on my first trip and now you’ll get my as always affectionate but blunt travelogue. I went on a trip organised by ESN, accompanied by a few other exchange students I met beforehand. The whole thing had the flair of a school trip. We went to Bilbao on Saturday and…

Imstagram 📷

Hallo ihr Lieben, ich habe es endlich geschafft mir ein Instagram Profil für die ganzen tollen Fotos , die ich unterwegs so knipse, anzulegen. Jetzt wird es Zeit die Schubladen zu durchforsten, den Staub abzupusten und die Mottenkugeln rauszuwerfen. Ich habe wortwörtlich gerade erst angefangen, also gibt es bis jetzt fast noch keine Inhalte, das…
