Happy Friday you guys,

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

I am so happy the whole weekend lies in front of us and it is going to be a good one. We have planned some stuff and it depends on were you are Independance Day is taking place. 

Today is your lucky day if you are looking for a new recipe to try as I am sharing my favorite sweets and treats with you. I love baking, it is one of my most loved hobbies and also surprisingly calming. Throghout the years I have tried a ton of recipes I have made over and over again so make sure to read until the end.

#1 Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cinnamon Bourbon Buttercream Frosting

Definitely one of the best pumpkin pies I have ever made. The frosting tastes so delicous with the pie crust. A absolute fall must-have to bake.

#2 Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

Made these countless times during quarantine. Super soft consistency and the peanut butter taste comes right out. You are going to be addicted.

#3 Red Velvet Cupcakes

Not only perfect for Valentine´s Day but for year round. I have always loved a piece of red velvet cake. It is something so special. Flavorful and velvety soft plus the fresh cream cheese frosting. Perfection on its own. One of my favorites to date. 

#4 Lemon Bars

Awesome sweet treat to try if you love a zesty note in your cakes. I definitely would recommend trying this. I personally loved the taste although the look itself went horrible wrong as I have used an oven form that was way to small for the amount of dough and batter I have. I will bake them again very soon and hope they will look pretty enough to post and to serve. Southern Living has some of greatest recipes I have found on the internet, not only for baking but for cooking too.

#5  Peach Blueberry Cobler

This was a first for me but to be honest it was super easy to prepare and even more to bake. A classic southern desert and perfect for Summer with all the fruits. In fact you could use every fruit you like.

#6 Chocolate Buttermilk Cake

Have baked this one for so many ocassions whether for a birthday, Christmas or just for the weekend. It is definitely loaded and not for the faint of heart as the calories are skyrocketing per piece with all the chocolate, butter, heavy cream and confectioners sugar but definitely worth a try. Make sure to at least double the dough or it won´t be enough for two stories.

#7 Pina Colada Cake

My go-to Summer cake. The Pina Colada Cake tastes fresh but a little zingy with the pineapple and superlight cause of the airy sponge cake. Everyone loved it so far cause it looks super delicous and artsy but is also super easy. Don´t be intimidated by the many steps, it is easier than you think and totally worth it.

These are my top 7 recipes I wanted to share with you as I love to have seasonal go-to´s on hand for different ocassion. It is nice to have deserts or cakes on hand you know you can pull of easily and taste great when you are in a quick need of them.

Do you have any favorites you love to bake over and over again or even recipes created by yourself ?

Have a nice weekend. See you next week.

As much as I love to cook I also always looking for an easy way to get a delicous meal and to be honest the most verstatile ingredients to have so are noodles. Not only do they taste great with vibrant red hot pasta sauce and parmesan cheese drizzled all over, noodles can also be very yummy when you eat them called in a pasta salad for example. 

I have made noodle salad in lots of variations but I never thought of adding cooked chicken to it and let me tell y´all it was deliciuos.

So here are the simple ingredients for a super simple meal that surely doesn´t look like it.

Ingredients for the Chicken Pesto Noodle Salad

– mussel pasta (but you can use any other small pasta)

– chicken breast (you can marinate it with a spice you love but other than that it tastes great in the salad too)

– green basil pesto (I use the green pesto from Barilla as it has the best flavors)

– pine nuts (roasted in the pan)

– feta cheee (crumbled above)

– some parsley for decor

I added the pesto to the fresh and still hot cooked noodles and let it cool. Then I topped it off with the chicken and the rest of the ingredients and voilà. This is super easy and would also work great for a starter if you have guests.

Hopefully you are having a great weekend ahead of you. The weather should be awesome so there are lots of things to do. We are going to have a BBQ with another couple so this is our plan.

See you on Monday.

Food Friday – Easy Oven Baked Salmon Recipe…

I have never been a huge fish fan other than sushi but baked salmon is a treat I love from time to time. Over the years I specialized my recipe to the point I love every single ingredient about it. 

So for my salmon I am using a fresh piece of salmon of course and top it of with a piece of feta cheese (melts perfectly but doesn´t run all over the fish filet), some onion rings, drops of olive oil and a mix of spices. It really hasn´t much ingredients but tastes great. Also since the preparation time is not long and it bakes for itself in the oven it would also be an awesome dish for hosting a dinner. I added potatoes to the salmon this time but you can also eat it with couscous or steamed vegetables like broccoli.

Ingredients Oven Baked Salmon

  – salmon

 – feta cheese

 – onion

 – olive oil

 – spices

Wrap in aluminium foil and put into the oven for about 40 minutes at 170° degreees. Enjoy right away afterwards. Tastes so so good. I promise. 

I understand if people stay away from preparing fish cause the filets are really pricey and many are afraid to mess up the meal but this one is a real foolproof recipe.

Have a look at my recipe tab here if you are interested in more recipes. I have shoot two new recipes this week so we will be soon back to regular Food Friday posts. 

Wishing you guys a nice weekend. See ya on Monday.

Who doesn´t love a quick and easy dinner option that has nothing to do with expensive take-away options? Got your interest already – then read on.

I have been loving quick and easy food options lately cause between feedings and pumping and diaper changes there often isn´t much time left to get creative in the kitchen so I have been collecting quick recipes and tried a bunch of them. Today I am sharing my own modified Club Sandwich recipe with you guys.

The ingredients aren´t too fancy so there is a high chance that you already have everything you need at home. I added sweet potoatoe fries to our plates but it isn´t necessary cause it is filling enough. Just a nice idea for a side dish.

Club Sandwich Ingredients

– toast

– ham

– bacon

– lettuce

– mayonnaise

– eggs

It is pretty much stack as you like. You can add as much ingredients on your sandwich as you like. I love a fully stacked sandwich and added a lot from everything but that really is a personal matter.

Did you try out new recipes during quarantine time or did you stick to your go-to´s?
