Easy Dessert Recipe – Chocolate covered Strawberries…

….

Hitting June next week means we are officially in strawberry season. Strawberries are amongst other berries my favorite fruit and I love them with eveything and on anything but the easiest and probably prettiest of all Strawberry dessert options are chocolate covered strawberries. 

Why are they the best ? First of all the are covered in chocolate, second of all it is a super easy and quick dessert idea and third I don´t know anyone who wouldn´t like this.

I used dark chocolate for this but you could use any type you like. Just melt it down and cover your strawberries as you like half or the whole fruit.

To make the dish extra delightful I went and made a delicous dip. You don´t have to cause they taste amazing on their own but I thought a little luscious side cream won´t hurt. It is made from whipped cream and marcarpone plus I added one teaspoon of vanilla sugar.

That´s it. A super easy thing for those long Summer evenings you don´t want to waste hours in the kitchen preparing for guests. 

I am going to share another Reel tomorrow but I am still not sure what theme. So check it out my Instagram if you are interested.

The best Cinnamon Rolls Recipe that´s out there…

 

….

Happy Friday, 

(post contains links/werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Links-not sponsored)

I have a very special treat for you today. In my opinion there aren´t much more comforting foods out there than a warm cinnamon roll with a fresh and zesty cream cheese frosting and since you all are my people I believe you think the same way.

Following Rach Parcell for years I always wondered about her perfect cinnamon rolls and now I know where the recipe is from. The site is called The Food Nanny and let me tell you the cinnamon rolls are too die for. I made them several times and they even get better and easiert every time. 

They are goey on the inside with lots of cinnamon and sugar and cross but soft on the outside. The cream cheese frosting is optional but we like to eat it like that in this house so here it isn´t an option. Super easy three ingredients cream cheese frosting. I use one package of creame cheese (300 gramms), half cup of confectioners sugar and a big squirt of lemon juice. I mix everything together and add it onto the still warm rolls. If you want it to melt down even more you could also add butter to the frosting. 

That´s it for today, but I could honestly rave on about this delicous recipe for hours not that I need to. Bake it and see for yourself. 

Have a nice weekend and see you on Monday.

Happy Thursday you guys,

(post contains links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

anyone hungry and doesn´t know what to cook from time to time. Well as much as we love to cook sometimes we just don´t know what to make anymore and also shopping for groceries never was a great task and now with Covid it is even worse. So how convenient would be a service that delivers your weekly ingredients to your doorstep and all you have to do is cook, not even meassure the ingredients. That would be awesome am I right! I thought so too and went for it. I have known about Hello Fresh quite some time reading about it in an ad here and there but finally set up an account two months ago. 

Hello Fresh is a meal-kit service that offers different meals every week. You can choose between three to five meals per week. We did three. I think this is a great amount cause on somedays we get take-out and other days we cook favorites. Three meals for 2 people is the smallest amount you can get. If you are a single household you would have plenty of leftovers to eat for lunch the next day.

I am ordering our meals over the app. It is very easy to navigate and there is not much you can do wrong. So subscribing to the service doesn´t mean you need to take their services every week. If you don´t like the menu or are out of town you can skip the weeks you don´t need food. We pay weekly so you don´t pay any money for the weeks you skip.

You can choose from every dish Hello Fresh offers for the week or you are putting in a filter like vegetarian, family friendly, low carb and express dish.

Sometimes a fresh produce isn´t available due to weather or traffic so they will notice you with an e-mail and exchange it for a similar item or give you some money back. 

In conclusion the service is a great idea for everyone who hates grocery shopping, has no time to grocery shop, has not idea what to cook or who wants to try ususual dishes but not buy every little spice at a normal size. All the meals are pre-portioned so there won´t be any waste of food. 

Delivery worked out very well so far. You can decide by yourself when your Hello Fresh order should arrive. We timed it for Monday and it always turned up on time. The perishable foods are cooled with ice packs and everything else is packed in several paper bags with all the ingredients you will need for the dish. The box itself is very sturdy so I don´t think the produce will be damaged ever.

 

Now let´s talk about the downsides. I think not being able to order single portions is a huge disadvantage for Hello Fresh because there are so many single households out there.

Another thing that has bothered me a lot is that you need so much dishes. For almost every menu you need an oven tray, a pot, a pan and several bowls for gravy, dressing or anything else. It is incredible how much dirty dishes are produced with the regular menus.

Overall it is very well priced and you would not save much or nothing at all by buying all the ingredients in store but if you order pasta dishes only I think the 40 Euro are too much for a week of prepped meals cause let´s be honest noodles itself almost cost nothing.

 

Despite everything I said I think we will definitely continue to use it. Not for every week but from time to time it is a nice change to get some fresh ideas and also life is busy enough sometimes there will be no time left to worry about cooking.

 

There is a discount code that will be valuable till the end of the year for Hello Fresh Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It is fresh21 for 50 Euro off on your first month (10 Euro off, 10 Euro off, 5 Euro off, 5 Euro off).

Hopefully this was useful for you guys. If you have any questions left feel free to ask. See you.

Good day ladies,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

and with today´s post I am kicking off Valentine´s Day post season. This is my first post of the year regarding one of my favorite holidays. 

I have posted tons of Valentine´s Day content over the years but never thought of making cute pink waffles. Now that we had so much time on hand and a waffle iron I made several different things in the waffle iron amongst waffles but for today´s post pink waffles it is and I am clearly not mad about it.

Being spoiled on Valentine´s Day with breakfast in bed or a sweet treat in the afternoon is definitely a very nice gesture but you can easily make them by yourself. All you need is a basic waffle recipe and red food coloring. The food color I am always using and is from Wilton and it creates the brightest shades. 

This is the waffle recipe I have used. We made quite a lot of waffles since the first time for our breakfast board. They are the easiest of all sweet breakfast treats. 

My pj´s are from Missguided and I got them from Asos. I could not link them via Shopstyle but I added some very similar and a ton of other cute pieces to the widget.

It snowed so much today so I got a ton of computer work done as we didn´t set foot outside. See you tomorrow with another style post.
