Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
since the weather is so steady bad – lots of snow and ice and low temperatures – and lots of people around us are ill or/and caught the flu I am sharing one of my grandma´s recipes today. I always loved heading to my grandma´s house in the Winter time or flu season and enjoy a delicious bowl of hot soup. 
A healthy chicken noodle soup. This kind of soup is supposed to keep you healthy or to help you get on your feet again.

And summarized it also tastes so good and is not difficult in the making. It cooks on its own.

Here is what you need:

– chicken thighs
– a carrot
– one leek
– one piece of celery
– few leaves of lovage
– salt / pepper / vegetable broth
– soup noodles 
–  chives cut – can also be frozen since they are only to garnish
 – pair two litres of water (or if you want more broth you take more, the importance is that the chicken thighs have to be covered) with the needed amout of broth
– cut the vegetables in small pieces and put them in the pot with the water
– now wash the chicken thighs and put them in the pot as well (make sure they are covered with broth)
– let it cook for about 45 to 50 minutes on medium heat – needs to cook all the time
– heat up water in a different pot for the soup noodles about 15 minutes before the chicken is done and cook the noodles till you like them
– take out the chicken thighs and separate the meat from the bones (be careful so you don´t take of a small bone as well with the meat)
– combine everything in a soup bowl
– garnish with chives and enjoy
– you can spice it up with some more salt and pepper if you want

I totally love it and probably gonna make this over and over again.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – homemade ranch dressing….

Hi guys
and welcome to another Food Friday. I love making salads and also wraps for dinner but whenever I need to buy some dressing for it I am not so keen on it anymore. 


Dressings from the supermarket can be disgusting in smell, taste or consistence so I am always aware of that. The easiest way for me is to make a fresh dressing a day or on the day the actual meal is planed. I never thought it could be so easy but it definitely is.  

Just throw all the ingredients into one bowl and let the kitchen maschine do the rest. 


Ingredients:
1/2 cup buttermilk 
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp dill weed dried 
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp parsley dried
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt


All you have to then is to fill it up into a bottle or you could also use it right away.


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys, 


I am back with a recipe today which I haven´t posted in a long time but there are several things I want to try out this year in the category food and drinks and if I succeed in making them I am going to post them here. 

Since it was my birthday about two weeks ago I was thinking which little treats I could make for my work place and my line dance group. I didn´t want to make anything to fancy or something which would take too much time so I decided to stay in the no bake category. There are so many recipes I didn´t even have a clue. 

As a huge lover of oatmeal and peanut butter it didn´t take a lot of time convincing for me to “bake” the oatmeal peanut butter bars.  Find the recipe here.


Ingredients:
3 cups oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter


They are really easy to make and delicious as hell – just follow the step by step pictures. You can´t do much wrong. But be careful, eating them is highly addictive!!!

Be sure to check back in my food and drinks category for other recipes I have already tried and approved. I am planing on making my own coffee syrup and there will also be some light recipes for Spring and Summer. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

My top 3 pumpkin recipes for fall/winter – super easy…..

(Pumpkin bread)

…..

Hi guys, 
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
today I am rounding up my 3 favorite recipes, including pumpkin I have found all over the internet. I have tried oh so many but these are the ones we love and I am making over and over again. Of course you could cook/bake them for Winter too. Pumpkin bread for example would be great to make for Thanksgiving or to bring to a Thanksgiving festivity as a gift.
#1 Pumpkin bread

 3,5 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 cups pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil (I like taking olive oil)
2/3 cups water
3 eggs
2 tablespoons baking soda
1,5 tablesoons salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
 1 tablespoon nutmeg

stir everything together and bake for 1 hour for about 170 degress/ the dough serves two baking pans 

–

#2 Pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon bourbon buttercream frosting

you can view the recipe here – it is from Mara´s blog called M Loves M

#3 Pumpkin casserole with potatoes and minced meat

1 pound minced meat
1 small pumpkin hokaido
1 pound potatoes
1 leek
cheese
salt, pepper, nutmeg

I shredded the pumpkin and the potoates in my kitchen mashine
pre-cook the meat in a skillet first 


put everything together
garnish with salt, pepper and nutmeg and lots of cheese on top


cook for about 45 minutes with 175° degrees until potatoes and pumpkin are cooked

–
These are my absolute favorite things to cook/bake right now, despite the pumpkin spice latte. I have posted a recipe last year. You can view it here.

In this way I am ending my fall posts and going straight into winter which makes sense these days. I am alerady preparing for Christmas. Here is a peek into my kitchen and it only has about 4 ° every day so wearing warm winter clothing is more than appropriate.  

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
