Lava Cake - a new attempt after 3 years

Exactly 3 years ago, I posted my first recipe. Yes, today my blog celebrates its 3rd birthday. Who would have thought...I certainly not. I am the kind of person who tries many things, begins many things, but also gets bored quickly and doesn’t continue doing those things. This happened with painting, drawing, creating jewelry. And it surprises me that my blog really celebrates its 3rd birthday. I was sure that also the interest for cooking, writing, taking and edit photos will vanish soon. But as you can see I was wrong. Ok, I must admit, sometimes I really am not in the mood to cook or bake something, take pictures or post a new recipe...but luckily it does not happen very often.

Sweet bread loaves

A dear work colleague brought me some cookies from her favorite spa. I was happy about this and then I get on working. Later, I wanted to eat something sweet and so I tried one of the biscuits. And I was instantly in love. They are so delicious, you can not imagine. After all the "Ohhhh" and "Ahhhh" and "Mmmmm" and "Whoa, are the delicious" I read what I actually eat. On the packet it was written: sweet loaf of bread. And what do I do next? You guessed it...I am looking for a recipe on the internet. I found one and after that I baked them...ok, not quite after then but Saturday I baked this sweet bread loaves. I tell you something...someone has to hide them from me...they taste so good.

Roasted chickpeas - a healthy snack

Hello my dears! Today I want to show you an idea for a healthy snack. Everyone wants to nibble something in the evening when they are watching a movie. When I want to have a snack I eat either nachos or homemade chips. And now I have tried something new: roasted chickpeas. Yes, you read that right...chickpeas...they taste great not only as humus but also as snack. This snack is made so easy and it does not take so much time. And here's the proof:

Vanilla sauce

In the past I used to cook quite often with cake mix, instant soups or instant sauces. But that was a long time ago. Nowadays I try to do everything myself. Of course there are a few exceptions, but very few. I've learned that many things are very easy to make at home. Just as this vanilla sauce. It does not take much time, is quite simple to make and it tastes 100 times better than the instant product. And I always know what it is inside. And here's the proof that it is so simple.

Plum bundt cake

Dear people! I have so many recipes that I want to share with you and this makes it sometimes hard for me to decide what I should post next. Some recipes are now waiting to see the light of the day for more than a year...you can also see that by the quality of the pictures. But not today's recipe. I baked this plum bundt cake two weeks ago. Since the plums still have season, I thought I share the recipe with you (and not wait another year or more to do so).

Osttiroler Schlipfkrapfen

By now I have lived in Austria for more then 3 years and I noticed today that I have only one typical Austrian dish on the blog. And there are plenty of dishes that I like. But this fact will change in the future as I will post some recipes for Austrian dishes. I will start with the Osttiroler Schlipfkrapfen, something I cooked last weekend for the first time. This is a typical dish from East Tyrol and it is almost similar to the Italian ravioli. If you want to try them, then here is the recipe.

Pumpkin Spice Syrup & Pumpkin Spice Latte

The last time I showed you that you can use pumpkin not only for soups or salads, but also for cookies. And today I show you how you can do homemade spice syrup and pumpkin spice latte. It's really easy and it is a lot better than the bought stuff. You don’t believe me? Then you have to try it out, so here is the recipe.
