There are things that are better left to others. Crochet is one of those. At least for me. […]
Have you ever missed someone so much that it left a dent in your mind? I have. I still do!
“We all have our destinies”, he said, ” but few of us will choose to follow on its path.”
“Will you?”
Another one of those – easy to make – salads I like to make.
I know the headline is a tiny bit misleading, as it got ham in it. But – since […]
A very easy to make salad, although I haven’t tried to keep it (I imagine it being rather brown-ish in colour if I’d try, so I don’t).
A nice casserole/ bake for those that need to add more iron into their food intake. Mix beetroot […]
This is a dream come true. Although I have to admit that fresh and (still) warm works best. And it is dead-simple to make, with just two ingredients.
Or something like that. Have I mentioned that I love soup. I do. In all shapes, forms and […]
After Christmas my motto usually sounds like :”Roll me home Scottie.” Seriously. But this salad is perfect for […]

I came across a photo the other day; featuring roulades. It looked absolutely yummy. A few days later, […]
Brunch = Breakfast + Lunch. But what do you call Lunch + Dinner? Or even more important Breakfast + […]
Now, I’ve been thinking. Really. I had to. If there is not much in your fridge, you (or […]
For anyone hailing from outside the British Isles, coleslaw might be a bit weird. For me, being German and all, it is most definitely weird. Then again, much could be said about Sauerkraut.
This is an update on last week’s dinner. Small sausages work wonders too. The recipe stays the same, […]
I am sure we all know those days. It is way too hot, too cold, too light, too dark, too weird, too …. whatever the reason is … we just don’t want to stand in the kitchen. Easy enough … whip up a cheese sandwich and you are all set. As if!
All week long I had a craving for fish and – being here in Sweden – salmon comes to mind. And with banana leaves and lemons, there was no question about what I would have for dinner.
I know, I know. Spring is not really a season that screams ‘Eat more soup.’ But I love soup. All year round. And with the starch-free way of eating, I have actually embraced the soup-making as an easy way of making a healthy lunch.
Pumpkin (butternut squash to be precise) are not exactly seasonal right now, but I have a few frozen portion-bags left.
‘Goulash is a soup or stew of meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating from the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, goulash is also a popular meal in Central Europe, Scandinavia and Southern Europe.’ That’s what Wikipedia tells you.
I am telling you it is one of the best dishes that mankind ever invented. Seriously.
It may be pricey (with all the meat) and time-consuming (2 hours plus), but it is by no means difficult to make. If you can handle a knife and a wooden spoon … you are all set.
I finally managed to use a laptop for something other than work. I also managed to do something other than defrosting in my kitchen. Yeah.
So here you can see the result of my endeavours: tomato soup with olives and shrimp
Looks good and tastes spicy enough for me.
Remember the bread from a few weeks back? Yeah? Great. Here is a new version of it. Personally I believe it is even better than the last. (And a whole bunch of my guinea pigs thought so too.)

A new blanket for a little girl. Took me a while to complete it (probably because I was working on several different ones at the same time). And life also happened in between.
