Hi guys,

 we are in the middle of BBQ season so I am sharing some I am sharing a bunch of easy and quick side dishes the next weeks. Today´s recipe can´t be exceeded in its simplicity. A super easy and super quick Greek Summer Salad.


You need 5 ingredients:
– 1 cucumber
– 1 glass of black olives
– a pound of tomatoes
– 1 piece of feta cheese
– 2 or 3 purple onions (I like the purple ones better for eating them raw cause they aren´t as spicy as the white ones)


Cut everything into small pieces (depends on how you like to eat it) and mix it togehter in a big bowl.


For seasoning I just used two table spoons of simple freeze-dried salad herbs and olive oil as required.
Mix everything together (that´s how you get a better feel of how much olive oil you need).

We are going to have a BBQ on Saturday so stay tuned for more recipes. 

Have a nice Friday. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

I wanted to share another recipe on the blog with you today. Since Mother´s Day is on Sunday and you don´t have enough time left to get a gift why not make a beautiful and tasty cake by yourself ?!
It is too hard and won´t taste good you think ? Don´t be too hard on yourself. With a little patience and dedication it will work.

These are two super quick and easy recipes for the dough and the frosting I am posting today. 


Ingredients for the dough:
– 5 eggs
– 100 gr. sugar
– 250 gr. butter
– 100 gr. confectioners sugar sifted
– pinch of salt
– lemon zest 
– 100 gr. flour

– 1 tblsp. baking soda

Ingredients frosting:

– 250 grams white chocolate melted and cooled 
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice 
– 320 grams butter soft

Direction for the batter:

– add the flour, baking soda, corn starch and salt
– let it mix the batter for about 3 minutes

– take two small baking pans and spread the butter evenly
– bake for 45 minutes on 165° degrees

Directions for the frosting:
– melt the chocolate until creamy
– put the butter out of the fridge so it gets soft
– when chocolate isn´t hot anymore but still creamy and butter is soft put all the ingredients for the frosting together and mix for about 3 minutes
– put the frosting into the freezer for about 5 minutes
– add frosting onto your cake, layer by layer 

and garnish how you like.

Happy baking guys. If there are any questions left feel free to ask.

Food Friday – homemade cashew creamer(dairy free)….

….

Hi guys,

since I am cutting out most of the dairy products from my diet I am always on the search for other options and also for new products. I am a huge coffe lover addict so the most important part for me was to find a replacement for the milk in my coffee. 

I was drinking soy milk for a long time and then I switched to oat milk which I honestly enjoy much more. It tastes a little sweeter and I like it a lot better. Recently I was at the supermarket and looking for another type of milk – you can´t have to many options am I right – and I wanted to try the cashew milk but in fact I wasn´t ready to pay 7 Euro for one litre. This is insane expensive for just adding to your coffee. So I decided to try it myself.

I bought a pack of cashews and drove home.

The recipe is really simple. Step one is to put the needed amount of cashews into a bowl of water and let them soak for about 4 hours. I always take one cup so I have at least a little meassurement.
Afterwards you pour into a strainer to get rid of the water. Put your cashews into your blender, add water, I add two cups but this depends on how thick you like your creamer. 
For flavor you can add a teaspoon of vanilla paste, or a table spoon of maple syrup or even agave syrup to add some sweetness.
Blend everything together and fill it into a glass jar. Whether you are taking one with a screw cap or a swing top use a funnel to avoid the spilling and the mess afterwards. I buy the bottles at our local drug store but they are available almost everywhere.

You can store the cashew creamer in your fridge for about 5 days so I would recommend smaller bottles if you are not a daily coffee drinker.
This might be the easiest recipe I have ever posted. 
Are you guys also love to make things by your own instead of buying it?

Hi guys,

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

and welcome to another Food Friday I hope you are hungry cause today´s recipe is awesome. Delicious, healthy, super quick and so easy.


I am a sucker for tuna so I was so happy when I found this tartelette recipe on Pinterest.


This is a one of a kind quick and easy meal with an addictive factor cause it is so so good.


Ingredients for the dough:
– 6 cans of tuna
– 2 purple onions chopped

– 2 eggs
– 3 cups of bread crumbs
– jalapenos
– lemon juice
 – chopped parsley

Top with:

– capers
– horseraddish


How to:
– mix all the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper if you think it is necessary
– make small patties
– put olive oil into your skillet and heat up
– cook them on medium heat. be sure to turn them often since you don´t want to get them burned on one side
– serve with capers and horseraddish

Side dish:
I made some wild rice to the tuna tartelettes since I really adore rice and think this blends very well with the taste of the tuna. 


You can add as many onions or jalapenos as you want to make it extra spicy.


Feel free to contact me if you want me to try anything else.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
