Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

we love Summer BBQ´s and since our patio is ready we are constantly outside playing with Chloe, drinking our coffee outside, dining or having a glass of wine and also heating up the grill. This means I am on the search for new recipes to add to grilled meat or fish almost everytime we plan a BBQ.


A noodle salad is never a bad idea. No matter for what or when you are making one. There are also thousands of options like for pasta dishes in general. I made this Italian inspired noodle salad my mum loves to prepare too so I am sharing the recipe here today.


Ingredients:
– 1 cup of black olives
– 1 cup of mini mozzarella
– noodles (cooked, mine are maccaroni)
– 1 cup of artichokes
– 1 cup of pesto red


– cook the maccaroni and let them cool down
–  put everything together and stir until well combined
– eat


This delicious noodle salad takes about 30 minutes to make and is an awesome option for your own BBQ´s or for the ones you are invited too.


So for now I am leaving you with this easy recipe and some inspiration for your next BBQ and wishing you the happiest weekend. 


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

hot weather front is back and has me like a brick in my face. I really can´t stand this quickly changing weather anymore. One day it rains and is cool and the other day it is heating up again with about 80% humidity. So what are we craving when the weather gets so unbearale hot?


Iced coffe of course. I mixed mine with cold chocolate milk, cream and a

splash of
caramel but you could also do without all these ingredients. This is probably
the most unmeasured and quickest recipe I have ever shared but too good not to.
Also this
feels like a whole meal so you don´t have to cook anything after. Not healthy
at all (just saying) but so good.
Ingredients:
– espresso
(freshly brewed)
– crushed
ice
– chocolate
milk (I used soy)
– caramel
syrup
– heavy
cream
– funny
straws
– brew one espresso and fill up your glass with the cold chocolate milk (leave a little for heavy cream)
– add crushed ice if you want
– fill up with heavy cream now and drizzle with caramel syrup
– put in a colorful and funny patterned straw
– enjoy

Side note: you can also make the espresso a double or drizzle with chocolate or fruit syrup

Now it is up to you. Create your own 5 minute drink to survive the heat.


As always thanks for stopping by and a happy weekend.

Food Friday – healthy fingerfood – zucchini dippers…

Keine Kommentare

 the soccer arena plates are from amazon
….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
we are finally in the last week of the soccer World Cup and I am glad. It had been quite the stress. Watching soccer everyday and although the German team dropped out and the US team didn´t participate we still turned on for every game to at least have it running in the background.
My last fingerfood recipe which goes perfect for watching TV on the sofa I made these phenomenal zucchini dippers. Guys they taste so good, SOO good. I am not a huge zucchini fan and if it is possible I manage my way around them but they are awesome.

Super easy. You only need 4 main ingredients and the spices you like.

Ingredients:
–  1 1/2 cups zucchini (grated)
– 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used parmesan)
– 2 eggs 
– 1 cup bread crumbs 
– spices as you like


– grate zucchini with a kitchen grater on the smallest side
– be sure to get as much water out of the grated zucchini. Works best with a kitchen towel or paper towels
– press hard against to soak up as much as possible
– put all the ingredients together and mix 
– make little tots out of the batter (I used a tablespoon for portioning to get the sizes equal)
– put on a baking sheet and bake at 170° degrees until golden and slightly crisp on the outside
– serve on plate with different dips (mine where garlic and chilli from the BBQ section of our local supermarket)


Any guesses who will win the Soccer World Cup ?

Patriotic cake bars and happy 4th of July….

Keine Kommentare

….


Hi my friends,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

I am wishing everyone a happy 4th of July today. We are not celebrating this day here in Germany but anyways I have made baked this pretty cake on the weekend. It is totally adorable and so machting with the colors of the flag. Precisley because it is so easy to make it would be a really nice desert for a BBQ. 


The dough is the same as I make my sugar cookies with for Christmas but this time you put it all together into a pan. I am also sure the ingredients for this cake bars are sitting on the shelves in every kitchen.


For the dough you need:
– 175 gr. butter
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla 
– 150 gr. sugar
– 330 gr. flour
–  1 tablespoon baking soda
–  1/2 tablespoon salt

– mix the butter and sugar first, add the eggs and vanilla slowly
– add the flour, salt and baking powder
– put the mixture into a baking pan (be sure to put a sheet of baking paper underneath)
– bake for  13 minutes at 190° C 
– the dough has to be super soft and raw looking
– let it cool down before you add the frosting

For the frosting (this is something I make a little different every time I need one cause I use what I have):
 – lemon zest
–  cream cheese
– butter (room temperature)
– confectioners sugar


I didn´t meassure and in my opinion you don´t have to. Just make sure the frosting has the consistency and taste you like. I also put it into the freezer for about 15 minutes before spreading it onto the cake. 


Now garnish with sprinkles or M&M´s or chocolate or whatever you like and you have one yummy and delish desert.


And if you should need some last minute outfit inspiration too here is my current post and also what I have styled last year here and here.
As always thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful holiday. Take care. See you.
