Lemon-yogurt cake

Hi! How did you spend Christmas? I hope you all had a cozy time together with your loved ones. I’ve spent Christmas together with two girlfriends. We met in the evening, ate, chatted and watched a movie. So we spent a cozy evening. Each of us had cooked/ baked something so neither of us had to spend the whole day in the kitchen. I decided to bake a delicious lemon yogurt cake, which I made a bit festive.

Gingerbread muffins

Hello my dear readers! Today is Christmas and I have the honor to be the blogger behind the last door of the Austrian food bloggers advent calendar. Until today another 23 food bloggers have shared their Christmas recipes with us.

Carrot-ginger soup

 

I was not sure which recipe to blog today. And this is because I have so many great recipes that I want to share with you so the choice was not easy. Today I opted for a carrot-ginger soup. Why this recipe? I thought that you might want to have a break from all the Christmas cookies. And if you don’t have enough of the Christmas treats, then do not worry: I still have some recipes for you .

Christmas sangria

Today it’s my turn the culinary Advent Calendar created by the blogger group "We love food". Actually, the idea was that each participant will post a cookie recipe. But I have changed my mind and today I present to you this sangria recipe as it fits very well for Christmas.

Cinnamon balls

At the beginning of the month I promised you that I will show you some Christmas ideas. Today, recipe number 2 goes online. Today I show you cinnamon balls. Well...they are not actually balls, because they change their shape during baking. Nevertheless, the cinnamon balls taste very good, regardless if they are round or not.

Polenta with cheese and sour cream

On the 1st of December it was not only the 1st Advent but also the Romanian national holiday. Since I come from Romania, this day had to be celebrated. Something that reminds us of home had to be cooked. It had to be a dish that is very easy and quick to cook and that tastes delicious. I did not want to leave alone my guest for long and I wanted to prepare the dish fresh and not a few hours earlier. And I did not want to spend all day in the kitchen. So the choice felt on polenta with cheese and sour cream.

Secret Santa

Sandra from from Snuggs Kitchen has created a Secret Santa event for food-blogger and I signed up for it. The idea was to prepare 4 gifts, one for each Advent Sunday. It is not so easy to find the right gift for a person who you do not know and of which you know only 2-3 things. I think it is generally difficult to find the right gift for someone.

Gingerbread

One more day and the Christmas season officially begins. Last year I showed you the one or the other Christmas recipe. This year I've prepared a few new recipes for you and I will start with a gingerbread one.

Quinoa salad with cranberries and oranges

Have you ever heard of quinoa? I must confess that I did not know what it was until last week. But what is quinoa? Quinoa is a so-called pseudo cereal because it forms starchy grains. The seeds of quinoa can be processed, so that they can be eaten for example as a side dish. It contains no gluten and is suitable for celiac patients as an alternative to conventional grains. But why am I telling you all this? Because I 'm going to show you a very tasty quinoa recipe. To be more precisely on today’s menu we have quinoa salad with cranberries and oranges.

Cinnamon rolls

2 weeks ago a dear school friend, her husband and their two children have visited me. So there was finally a reason to cook every day. We had lasagna and chicken from the oven (recipe follows). For dessert I made coconut rice pudding with mango. But that was not enough for me. I also wanted a winter dessert. But for cookies it was then a little too early. So I’ve decided to make cinnamon rolls.

Baking Atelier

Saturday, I woke up at 7:30. Not because I could not sleep. No, the reason was a different one: on my agenda was the Baking Atelier. Dani and Nina from the Coolinary Society have invited some time ago to this event and I was one of the lucky participants.

Vanilla extract

Hello my dear readers! This week, I 'm pretty much in stress; therefore today I have a very simple recipe for you. Today I show you how to make vanilla extract. It is quick, easy and much better than the bought one. The only disadvantage ... you have to wait at least a month until you can use the extract.

Wanted: new foto camera

Hello everyone. Today I have no recipe for you, but a request as I need your help. I think to buy a new photo camera.

And you are satisfied with your camera?

Mole cake

A Kitchen Aid. Who doesn't want one? I would love to own one, but I must confess I would never spend so much money for it. Why I am talking about the Kitchen Aid? No, I did not get one as a gift. But there is the chance to winning one. How? Easy. On sixx.at there is a baking contest where everyone can participate. I also took this opportunity and go into the battle with my mole cake. The chances are very small that I win, but it does not hurt to try. And if I get one or the other vote from you, maybe my dream of owning a Kitchen Aid will come true.

Risotto with sweet berries

This summer Ulli from fitundglücklich and Janneke from orangenmond organized a picnic for us food bloggers (thank you). Each of us could bring something to eat.

Bavarian obatzter

 

The Oktoberfest in Munich respectively the Wiesn in Vienna started again. And with what do we associate this event? No, I'm not thinking of the posh girls in Dirndl and posh guys in leather pants. And I do not think at the beer and pretzels. I'm thinking of Obatzter.

Sun, beach and sea ... what can be nicer? I love the summer and I could spend all day lying on the beach. Unfortunately, the everyday life looks a little different. Sun: yes - beach and sea: no ... they are replaced by the office.

Mango lassi

Lassi is a popular Indian yogurt drink that is often served with spicy food. This is because it softens the sharpness of the food by its fat content and increased the digestibility.

3 months ago a couple of food bloggers received an invitation to attend one of the cooking courses offered by ichkoche.at. It was pretty hard for me to opt just for one course. I was not sure what to choose: "Summer Desserts" or "Easy Cooking in summer". But then I decided to go for “Easy Cooking in summer".

Pancakes with romanian ricotta and dill

Hello everyone. Today I want to share with you a recipe from my country. Pancakes filled with whey cheese, sugar and dill. The cheese is called "urdă" and is made from whey of sheep, goat or cow. The resulting cheese is rich in calcium, vitamins A, B2, B12, protein and contains no salt. It is fine-grained and silky and resembles the Italian ricotta. So you can use ricotta filling.

Filled croissants

Hello my dear readers. Today I have a croissant recipe for you. If you like croissants, then I have the right recipe for you. When it comes to pastries and bread, I'm a little skeptical. When baking cakes, I have no problems, but when it comes to dough, yeast dough or short pastry, then I always have a bad feeling. But with this dough you can not do anything wrong. I got the recipe from this Romanian blog.

Walnut pesto

Finally! I finally managed to make pesto. No, it's not hard to make it ... it is very easy. Why did I not manage to make pesto earlier? Every time I wanted to make pesto, I realized that I did not have all the ingredients. One time I did not have Parmesan, the other time I did not had enough basil times. But this time I had everything...or almost everything, so I can show you the result.

Peach shake

From the moment I became owner of the AEG Ultramix Pro, I've tried quite a few shakes and smoothies. Although I own a stand blender, I did not use it so often. That's not because it is not good, but because it is quite complicated to put into use. Since my kitchen is really tiny, I have to keep the blender in the cupboard. My blender is actually a food processor with a blender attachment, you can imagine what that means. Now I don’t have this problem anymore and, I have decided to make smoothie and shakes more often since I already have the recipe books.
