as fall is my favorite season in terms of weather, clothing and food on weekends you can find me glued to my kitchen counter and trying out new recipes. I don´t care if it is a hearty dish, a sweet treat or even a drink.
So since there isn´t any hot apple cider available in Germany I made my own.
So here is what you need:
– 12 apples – obviously (I mixed sweet and sour)
– 2 oranges
– cinnamon
– cloves grounded
– sugar
– water
– whiskey or bourbon if you like
How-to:
– peel and cut the apples and put into a huge pot – peel and cut your orange and add to the pot – add the spices and the sugar to your fruit in the pot

I am going to serve this as an aperitif for our Thanksgiving dinner. It is the perfect fall drink.
As always thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
it is, isn´t it?! Fall is in full season, leaves are changing, fog is hanging heavy over the meadows in the mornings, the air is crips and fresh. Oh I could go on with this for many more lines.
But let´s have a look at this traditional treat. I know that summer is officially over – for both weather and season – so making s´mores over a firepit isn´t quite possibly anymore. So this recipe is for all my summer missing readers and chocolate fanatics. Just transform your s´mores into a pie and serve for coffee time or after a homemade cooked meal.
It isn´t hard at all and doesn´t take to long and believe me the taste brings back those summer bonfire nights vibes.
So let´s get bakin´..
Ingredients:
for the crust
– I used full grain Leibnitz biscuits – 2 cups
– 1/2 cup butter
Maybe a little less or a little more of both, keep mixing up until it is sticky and make a great base for the crust
– (any sauce you like to drizzle it with for serving)
How to
– melt the butter and crumble the crust, stir together and push into your pie pan
– bake the crust for 10 minutes at 160 degrees
– add the heavy cream, milk and chocolate in to a sauce pan and let is melt slowly at medium heat
– add the eggs and vanilla and stir together
– pour the filling into your pie pan and bake another 20 minutes
– the filling should not wobble anymore by taking it out of the oven
– add marshmallows on top and again put it into the oven for about
– change menu to grill function and watch your cake (when the heat of the grill funtion kicks in it takes about 15 to 20 SECONDS until your marshmallows are ready) otherwise your topping is going to be burnt or on fire
– serve warm in the pan
– drizzle with sauce if you like
The weather is getting warm on the weekends (only in the afternoons) so this would be a great last possibilty to relieve those summer vibes
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

I love pasta. Spaghetti, maccaroni, penne and every other noodle on the planet. It is something I can´t get enough of and I could eat two times a day, every day. That is why I am shying away from it a little and only sometimes cook pasta at home. But then I go all in with my favorite ingredients and a glass of vino.
Serving this meal makes you look like a pro as you can beautifully drape it on the plate. Also the flavours of the pesto, the shrimps and the parmesan cheese go so well with the pine nuts. Overall a super quick meal to make. Takes 20 minutes max. and so
Ingredients: – shrimps (I buy them frozen and marinated but you can also use fresh ones) – spaghetti – pine nuts – parmesan cheese – green pesto
– brown the shrimps in a pan until crisp – boil hot water in a pot and add spaghetti – let cook for about 10 minutes or how you like it) – sieve cooked spaghetti and add to the shrimps – add pesto and let it cook on low heat for about 10 minutes – take another pan and roast the pine nuts (the taste is better and more intense if you do that but don´t leave the pan as this happens very fast) – serve on pretty pasta plates and sprinkle with the roasted pine nuts and grated parmesan cheese
I really enjoy the simplicity and versatility of pasta recipes. You could easily eat a different dish for the rest of your lives.
Are you also a pasta fan like I am or are you more on the rice side of life?
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Tuesday two days ago marked the 4th of September which means we were celebrating my soon to be husband´s birthday.
It was a special birthday, not the number, but the last one without a
“wife”. We are getting married next week and I am so looking forward to
it. Can´t wait to be married to this awesome man I love so much and
spend the rest of our lives together hopping from one adventure to
another or even sitting on the sofa watching one Netflix series after
another.
So
I am wishing him again a great year of 28 (we celebrated with
family and friends over at our house). He really enjoyed his party and had a great night.
I am quite sure by now you have recognized our party theme. I wanted to go with a Mexican Fiesta theme and have a tacco bar. A tacco bar is like a buffet but only is stocked with foods that go perfectly into and with your tacco.
I really love Mexican food and everyone else loved it too. The guacamole and the salsa was homemade by me (you can view the salsa recipe here and the guacamole contained avocado, garlic, cream cheese and salt and pepper). I also offered red peppers, green jalapenos, tomatoes, scallions, salad, corn, kidney beans, two kinds of cheese and chicken and minced meat spiced with tacco seasoning from Fuego. The tacco shells where from the same brand and totally fine. I got them from amazon with lots of other practical stuff like the tacco shell holder to present them properly and also a warmer with two oven dishes to keep the meat warm and enjoyable.
For dessert I planned on making a fruit salad and of course Florian´s birthday cake. Also my mom made rum balls from the leftover dough. I used half a melon as fruit bowl which is always cool and guests love that. The rum balls fit perfectly on the etagere and looked so pretty in their colorful chocolate papers. For the birthday cake I had this cake as a model. It isn´t the same but wasn´t bad either and in the end I decided to go with cream cheese frosting rather than with fondant. I added the wooden number to the cake which gave it extra stability and little sugar cacti.
Most of the party supply I am using is from Pink Dots Party Store or from amazon. The variety can not be found anywhere else.
There are so many themes to choose from and I think I have some pretty good ideas for a Halloween party. Stay tuned.
