Seafood risotto with pesto

When I cooked the Tom Yam Gai soup I used seafood but some not all I bought. At first, I did not know what to cook with the remaining seafood. My first idea was pasta with seafood. But then I remembered my Tuscany vacation. During this holiday I have eaten some great food which I have planned to cook. One of this great dishes was the the spaghetti cacio e pepe but also risotto with seafood and pesto. The risotto I have only tasted, but I liked it so much that I kept it in the back of my head. I actually had no recipe for the risotto with seafood and pesto but that did not prevent me from cooking it. I just started and today you can see the result here.

Potato and radish salad

The ones who follows me on Instagram knows that I have started to sort out my cooking magazines collection. I collected so many magazines over the last years but I almost never cook from them. But since they take so much space, I decided that it is time to trough away some of them. So I looked at each magazine and more than a half had to go. Most of the recipes were not so exciting or have many repeated themselves. When I sorted out the recipes I saw this recipe of a potato and radish salad and I decided to cook it the next day as I had most of the ingredients at home. What I didn’t have was not used. While I was preparing the salad, I noticed that it is a super leftovers recipe. So I quickly added a few ingredients and so this potato and radish salad was created.

Vanilla ice cream

Today I wanted to show you a cookie dough ice cream recipe. This because I love the cookie dough ice cream from Ben & Jerry...I really love it. I buy almost only this ice cream. Now you surely ask yourself why I blog only a vanilla ice cream recipe. If you look more closely at the pictures you will recognize the cookie dough inside. Well...I made the ice, but the cookie dough does not taste good. Maybe I was hoping my ice cream comes close to the original (got the recipe from the B&J book). But I was wrong. But the vanilla ice cream tastes so great that I really want to share the recipe with you. And maybe some of you have the ultimate cookie dough recipe for me.

Steak Sandwich

Today is such a day when I have no inspiration. I would like to tell you something about today's recipe, but my mind is empty. Perhaps it is like this because this is actually a leftover recipe. The day before, I had steak, but I did not eat the whole piece. The next day I had the idea to make a steak sandwich for breakfast. A quick look in the fridge and the other ingredients were selected and I created this sandwich. Before I start to repeat myself here and say nothing interesting I stop and leave you with the recipe.

Infused water

I do not know about you, but I drink too little water. An adult should drink more than 2 liters of water a day. But on most days I don’t even drink 1 liter. The problem is that I do not feel the need to drink more. But my skin suffers (it is very dry) so I will try to drink more. In order to make the water tastier, I began to "refine" it with fresh fruits and herbs. So today I share with you my 3 favorite infused water recipes:

Nectarines jam

Do you remember the story with the nectarines from the previous year? No? Ok, I'll tell you briefly what it was about: last year I bought nectarines, although I knew they would not taste. It was not their season. And what did I do this year? Exactly! I’ve made the same mistake. Last year I used the nectarines to bake a delicious fruit cake. This year I cooked jam with them. And since the nectarines were not sweet, the marmalade tastes just right.

Papanasi – romanian doughnuts

On the first Friday in June, the in the USA is celebrated the doughnut day. Zorra thought that it is time to bring this tradition to Europe! Said and done. A secret Facebook group was founded and we worked on this idea. It was decided that we all write our posts until the 01/07 and that the recipe will be published on the 01/02. At the end of the article you will find a list of all participants and the links to their recipes.
