Primarily fried rice is recycling leftovers into a light & hearty & fast & easy dish for weeknight dinners. Of course you can start fried rice from the scratch adding selected this & that items trying to get a mix of meat & fish/seafood & vegetables w/ matching spices … In a nutshell: there are many ways to do your “fried rice w/…“ – if starting from the scratch or relying on the leftovers in…
Honestly, sometimes it isn’t so easy to think about what we might have for lunch – something easy to prepare, a fast approach, something light … (not always sandwiches!). Pasta is always my favorite – next to rice (& also my better half’s favorites, thank goodness!) Especially One-Pot-Pasta is very convenient: you need only a frying pan (& bowls or plates!) i. e. washing up is strongly reduced (except you plan taking photos!). All ingredients come…
It’s mid of November: all over the internet food blogs indulge in Xmas cookies, Xmas cakes, Xmas whatever – Xmas dinner suggestions didn’t surface until now. I’m not so ready for this Xmas business at the moment … I think some fresh & easy to prepare weeknight dinner is also appropriate. I also didn’t start any Xmas baking so far. I’m not in Xmas mood so early in November – although everywhere in food stores…
I had a fine butternut sitting on my kitchen desk for some days & decided to try an approach for a soup w/ lots of vegetables. I had some carrots, some frozen peas & some spring onions. What else?

I’ve got a notebook – a notebook w/ pages made of paper, a cardboard cover … where I gather recipes, most of them are ripped out pages from any magazines fixed w/ sticky tape. Honestly, most of them rest there until my notebook is exhausted & I decide to straighten up (i. e. next step is trash). Well – in our digital world my last notebook…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. What happened? I opened my fridge & learnt that there were some leftovers … vegetables to be correct. Carrots & spring onions. Also in my pantry there were some potatoes … & in my freezer I had some frozen peas. In each case it wasn’t so much … not enough for whatever … So I decided to make a real big batch of mixed vegetables! Next morning when…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. For a breakfast w/ friends I decided to do a frittata. At first I thought about scrambled eggs or baked eggs… however, these have to be prepared fresh from the scratch. If you try to enjoy a breakfast w/ friends (or a brunch) as a host it’s always better to prepare everything in advance. A frittata can be prepared 1 day before – no problem at all. You…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. I love cannelloni! Just imagine the hot & bubbling mix of pasta & vegetables & meat or seafood covered in melted crispy cheese coming out of the oven… Remember how to attack the casserole in order to grab the 1st serving & transfer it onto a plate w/o any damage (it’s always easier when the 1st serving has left the casserole!). Maybe it’s because a cannelloni dish is…
Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. To disclose the vhm shortcut: v is vegetables, h is herbs & m is meat. We are preparing a classic meat loaf w/ lots of vegetables & lots of fresh Mediterranean herbs: a meat loaf you may enjoy hot, warm or cold as well. I got my inspiration from this cookbook* out of the foodblogger’s universe which combines traditional German cooking w/ Mediterranean flavors… …
