Butternut squash and almond soup


Have I told you that I really like blog events? No? Then I'll say it now: I really like blog events! Whether you can or cannot win something - I like to participate at blog events. When I saw that Tina organizes a blog event with the theme “pumpkin” I asked myself what I can cook for her blog event and I remembered a recipe that I've been dying to try: butternut squash and almond soup. So last week I went shopping and cooked this soup. It tastes very, very good - but I love pumpkin soup.

Sometimes a food blogger does crazy things. In order to prepare this ice I got up during the week at 6:30 and at 7o'clock, the mixture was in the ice machine. Luckily I did not make a lot of noise...at least none of my neighbors complained. At 7:45 I was already on the way to work and the ice was already photographed. Yes, I know...I'm crazy 😁

American apple pie

I wanted to bake this apple pie 2 weeks before my holiday. During my lunch break, I went to a store to buy some apples. There was an offer and so I went home with more apples than planned. So what to do with them... I could not eat all. So I had the idea of baking an American apple pie. But I didn’t have time before my vacation. So the apples were stored in the refrigerator and when I came back I finally baked it. I used a recipe from one of my cookbooks. But I made some changes to the recipe.

Caipirinha

Caipirinha

I wanted to make Caipirinha a long time ago. But you know my problem: no freezer...so no ice cubes. And for Caipirinha you need crushed ice. And yet the recipe is now on my blog. Do you want to know how I solved the problem? Very easily. Near my place there is a known fast-food chain. And one day I walked in and said that I want a big glass full of ice cubes. The seller looked at me a bit funny, but I got my ice. I then quickly rushed home, processes the ice cubes to crushed ice and already I could make the Caipirinha. Here is the recipe:

I am back. Ah ... the holiday was so nice, why it is always so short? In addition to amazing places I have eaten a lot of delicious food: seafood, a lot of pasta, pizza and ice cream. I did not buy souvenirs this time but I brought a long list of dishes that I want to cook. Since I arrived yesterday evening, I didn’t have time to cook something (also because my fridge is empty), therefore here is a recipe that is waiting since an eternity to be posted: spicy pizza margherita. Pizza...Italy...vacation...this recipe is perfect:)

Boiled sweetcorn

While you are reading this post, I'm sitting on the plane - direction holiday. But I did not want to disappear without saying a word. So I take this opportunity to tell you that the next two weeks nothing will happen here. If you want to see what I do in my vacation, then you can follow me on Instagram. I will certainly publish the one or the other photo. And now let’s get back to today's recipe: sweetcorn. Is actually a very easy recipe, but I love sweetcorn. And it reminds me of vacation.. so I thought it fits perfectly. When I was small, we often eat sweetcorn when we drove to the seaside. At least this is what I remember. Or at festivals.. there was always sweetcorn. But enough about holiday memories, here is the recipe.
