Oatmeal cookies

Before the Christmas baking begins, I wanted to show you this wonderful oatmeal cookies recipe. When I was on a business trip, I bought some oatmeal cookies. Since I had to be in a workshop for the whole day, I had to take a snack with me. But I wanted to be something healthier. So I decided to buy oatmeal cookies. And believe me...they taste better than regular cookies. I wanted to bake these cookies at home. And so I was looking for a recipe. I found one in one of my books. As usual I changed a bit the recipe…I added to the dough dry fruits and cinnamon. And the result tastes wonderful.

Orange liqueur

I wanted to make orange liqueur for a long time. But I didn’t have a recipe. Don’t get me wrong, the internet is full of recipes for orange liqueur. But that is the problem: the recipes are so different, so I didn’t know which one to pick. In some recipes you only used the orange peel, and in some the whole orange. Some you have to leave for months to infuse while others only 1 week. So which recipe should I pick? I even asked my food-blogger friend Verena from Sweets and lifestyle if she has a good recipe, as her boyfriend is distiller. But even they had no recipe. So I decided to create my own recipe. And it worked out and I got a very delicious orange liqueur. And since the orange liqueur is suitable as a Christmas gift, I publish the recipe today. So you still have time to make one yourself.

Chestnut cake

I’ve made it!!! I've really made it!!! Now you ask yourself: what the heck is she talking about? Is she so happy that she baked a cake? No, I don’t mean that...I am happy that I did manage to post the recipe this year. I was firmly convinced that I will have to wait until next year. But I was wrong...and so the chestnut cake made it this year on the blog. Although I already have a plan what and when to post, from time to time other things come in between, so I cannot follow my plan. But frankly, most of the time I do not care...only when I plan to publish a recipe that need to be prepared with seasonal ingredients. That is why I am so happy that this time I managed to post the recipe in time :) I stop now…here is the recipe.

Beetroot risotto

Actually, it was planned that I share today the chestnut cake recipe with you. But in the meantime I made this beetroot risotto and I had to share the recipe with you. As you already know I love beetroot. I saw this recipe for beetroot risotto aboutv1 month ago and wanted to try it out right away. But then I did not have time to cook it: because of business travel, vacation and other things. Then…a few days I cooked the recipe...and I am thrilled. On the same evening I have written the post. This is something that does not happen so frequently. But I do not want to torture you any longer…here is the recipe for beetroot risotto.

Chestnut puree

I'm not really a fan of chestnuts. I always eat1-2 and that’s it. But there is of a particular company that produces chocolates filled with chestnut puree. And these chocolates are addictive. I could eat a whole box. Therefore I bought chestnuts and made chestnuts puree. You can eat it like this, use it with pancakes, for pralines or to bake a cake. I did bake a cake. But before I show you the cake recipe, first you need to know how to make chestnut puree.

Yogurt Chicken

I started this blog 4 years ago with the intention to have my virtual recipe collection. I used to cook also in the past, just not as often as now, and I constantly lost my recipes. For this not to happen anymore I started to blog. Why am I telling you this now? Well, because I lost a recipe again. I was so sure that I have saved it somewhere...but no... I find nothing. I can not remember exactly where I have saved the recipe. Luckily, I took pictures so I can share the recipe with you today. Otherwise, the recipe for yogurt chicken would have been lost forever.
