Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
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.

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.

Food Friday – homemade delicious strawberry jam…

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.

….


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.
