Hi guys,

since strawberry season is still going strong (hopefully we will be blesses with this delicities as long as possible) I am sharing my jam recipe over here. This really is the simplest recipe I have ever made. 

The only thing you need is jam sugar and strawberries and maybe a squeeze of lemon if your strawberries are pretty sweet.

Ingredients:
– 1,5 kilo strawberries
– 1 package of 3:1 jam sugar (should be 500 gr.)
– 1 lemon

Instructions:
– wash the strawberries and cut of the stems. 
– puree the strawberries (depends on how smooth you want the puree to be)

– put the whole package of sugar and the strawberry puree into a pot and heat it up
– put the timer on 4 minutes by the time it starts to cook and let it cook for the whole time
– be sure to stir from time to time and to take a non-sticking pot
– be sure to wash the jars with hot water before filling in the simmering mass so the jars won´t explode
– fill your jam mixture into the jars, close them and turn them upside down until the mixutre is set
(you can also read the instructions on the package)
I put a ribbon around it and a tag onto it and gifted a few to family members but you can also eat them all by yourself.


Have you already tried my strawberry mini cakes? They are super simple and declicious. Get the recipe here.

The perfect fingerfood for your 2018 soccer World Cup party – pizza muffins…

….


Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I am checking back with a party recipe today. Since the 2018 soccer World Cup started yesterday I asume there are going to take place many many soccer parties everywhere. But what to serve for a party where everyone sits on the sofa and focuses on the TV instead of the plate. FINGERFOOD is the keyword here.

You got two hands. Fingerfood for one and a cold beverage for the other. If you have a soccer watching husband/fiancé/boyfriend like I do you gotta adjust.

For this rare ocassion (only takes place every four years) I got two awesome fingerfood recipes for you (would also be perfect for a kids birthday party).

Let´s start with the first today:

Pizzamuffins! Not hard to understand at all am I right? I think by know you know what comes your way. They are super easy to recreate and while they are baking you can make get other things done.
Ingredients:
– flour
– yoghurt
– rape oil 
– eggs
– baking powder
– tomato sauce
– ham
– peperoni
– scallions
– mushrooms
– grated cheese
Cut the ham and scallions into small pieces.

– mix everyting together
– spice as you like it – I used our Arrabiata noodle spice
– fill into muffin tins
– sprinke with grated cheese
– bake for 25 minutes at 180° degrees


Hope you are enjoying these pizza muffins as much as we did.

Food Friday – delicious strawberry mini cakes with cream…

Hi guys and happy Food Friday,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
with the beginning of June the strawberry season has finally started too. I don´t know what it is about this delicious little berry but whether you are making juice, cake or jam out of it or you are eating them pure they are so so good.

And the smell guys. Sometimes I wish I could capture the smell for you. The strawberry field smelled so sweet!!!

Since I am not a real fruit lover I do have my exceptions when it comes to strawberries (or raspberries, pineapples or melons).

We picked about 8 pounds so the first thing I did when I got home was making dough for a strawberry pie (and the leftover strawberries where cut for jam but this recipe is coming next week then).


Here are the ingredients:


for the dough
3 cups of flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
3/4 cup butter not melted


– mix the ingredients together until your are having a sticky dough
– then put some flour onto a clean area in your kitchen
– knead the dough with your hands until everything is combined just fine


-take a rolling pin and roll out dough evenly
– take a cup in the size you like and cut out round pieces 


– I made all the little dough pieces below from one dough so this really is enough
– let them cool down for about 15 minutes
– spread a mixture of confectioners sugar and heavy cream on top and bake for about 20 minutes by 160° degrees


for the strawberries:
– 750 gramms of strawberries
– 2 spoons of sugar


– marinade the strawberries with the sugar and let them rest


for the heavy cream
– take as much heavy cream as you like and whip it until its really solid
(you can make the test by flipping your bowl – if it doesn´t come out the consistency is great (but be careful or you are producing quite the mess)


Now head to your nearest strawberry field and get your fix for the weekend.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – banana bread…

….


Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I am sharing another recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth over here today. There aren´t too many great dishes than a warm and delicious slice of banana bread straight out of the oven.

In fact I don´t like bananas. Never liked them, never ate them. But I thought I might give the recicpe a shot since this really is the hit for so many ocassions and so easy to make.

Ingredients:
– 250 gr. flour
– 1 stick butter
– 1 tbl spoon baking powder
– 1 tbl spoon corn starch
– 150 gr. sugar
 – 2 eggs
– 300 gr. bananas (make sure they are overripe for the sweetness)
– 60 gr. sour cream
– pinch of salt
– vanilla paste 


– whisk together melted butter and sugar
– add eggs, bananas, sour cream and vanilla
– add the flour, baking powder and corn starch to the batter
– make sure all the ingredients are nicely combined

– bake for 50 minutes at 170 ° degrees

If you are using small loaf pans like I did be sure to adjust the baking time.

I am going to be MIA for today since there is a lot of preparation for tonight going on. I might share some on my Insta stories so be sure to check that (@madame_schischi).


Meanwhile you could try this awesome cake.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
