….

Happy Friday guys, 
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennenung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
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

for the filling
– 2 eggs
– heavy cream 1/2 cup
– milk (I used oatmilk) 1/2 cup
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extact
– little bit of salt
– chocolate crumbled (use a sharp knife) 1 1/2 half cups

for the topping
– marshmallows (mini and normal size)
 – (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.

Hello my dessert loving friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links/Markennennung-not sponsored)
I have such a sweet treat for you today you are going to love. Simple and delicious. That is what we love isn´t it?

Preparing a whole dinner is enough work, though so it is very nice to have a low maintenance dessert which can´t go wrong.
I decided to make an apple crumble as dessert for our Thanksgivinig dinner so I found lots of different recipes, tried some and mixed the best of everything togehter into one super apple crumble dish.
 In fact the hardest part is to peel and cut the apples. See how easy is this???

 What you need:

– 6 apples (I took some from our garden which where a little bit more on the sour side)
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon flour

– peel the apples and cut into small pieces
– put the sugar, cinnamon and flour with the apples into a bowl and mix together
– then pour the mixture into a oven safe bowl

So let´s work on the crumble…

– 1 cup of oatmeals
– 1 cup of flour
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
 – 1/2 cup of melted butter


– mix all the ingredients together and spread on top of your apple mixture


– but the bowl into the preheated oven on about 180° degrees for 45 minutes


– serve warm and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream


This really is so so so delicious we ate it within two days.

Food Friday – simple and delicious spaghetti with shrimps and pine nuts….

Good morning to all the future chefs,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung-Markennennung/Beitrag entält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
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?

Food Friday – gnocchi salad with basil and pine nuts…

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung-Verlinkung, Post enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
we already celebrated our last BBQ for this Summer. All good things have come to an end at some point, am I right? So there are going to be lots of fall inspired, mainly pumpkin inspired recipes on the blog very soon.

But for today I have another delicious and not so common salad idea for you. A gnocchi salad. For everyone who doesn´t know what Gnocchi are. They are small and round little dumplings make from mainly potatoes and some other ingredients. Gnocchi are and Italian specialty and very popular in Germany, probably like Spaghetti.

But for this type of salad I need them cooled down or at least not as hot as fresh.
The other ingredients are:
 – 1/3 cup pine nuts
– several leaves of basil
– parmesan cheese (grated)
– white balsamic 
– one package of Gnocchi (meassures 250 gr.)
– boil the Gnocchi in hot water (turn down the heat after it cooked up once) until they swim on the surface, only takes them about ten minutes as they are sold precooked

– let them cool down or the parmesan cheese is melting right away and you have one big chunk and no salad

– while the Gnocchi are cooling, brown the pine nuts in a pan (don´t add an oil or fat you won´t need it), be sure to wait at the pan as they get brown in the blink of an eye and then burn

– mix the Gnocchi, parmesan cheese, white balsamic (be careful by adding, I don´t have a meassurement cause I just add as much that the ingredients don´t stick together) and pine nuts in a big bowl

– add the basil leaves (I don´t chop them but you can do whatever you like)

– I served it with the BBQ this time but it is also delicious with a sandwich or a bagel or even fish

Are you still loving your outdoor BBQ´s or are you also longer for soups and casseroles?
