Chocolate apple cake

Today I remembered why I prefer cooking blogs over cook books or cooking magazines. What happened? I'll tell you. I found a recipe in a magazine and wanted to bake it. I checked if I have all the ingredients and went to work. In the middle of the process I noticed that one of the ingredients was not mentioned during the description of the preparation steps. But this could not be. Well, I'm no longer a beginner, and I know where I need to use (flour in this case) this ingredient. But the magazine praises the fact that this recipe is ideal for beginners. So if I were a beginner, I would not have known where I have to use the flour...or I would have certainly left it out...and that's annoying. Then I discovered a second error...the baking temperature was not specified. Oh great! I'm not saying that the food bloggers don’t make such mistakes. But you can write a comment and inform the blogger.

Mushroom pâté

Good morning! I do not know about you, but I like spreads. Luckily, there are so many varieties, that you never get bored. And many of them can be done easily at home. Today I have a vegetarian spread for you – to be more precise I have a mushroom spread for you. I have uses champignons, but I am sure that one can use also other mushrooms.

Porridge with fruits

I must confess...regarding porridge I was pretty skeptical. For a long time I saw on other blogs porridge recipes ... but somehow the dish didn’t look so appealing to me. I told myself, I will try it sometimes, but it was never on my "this-I-must-try-list". So what has changed in the meantime? I visited my friend in London, and she asked me if I wanted to have porridge for breakfast. And I thought ... why not ... now I have the opportunity to try it. And what do you know...topped with some honey/ sugar and fruit it tastes quite well.

Red pepper cream soup

Unfortunately, the weather was not very nice this weekend: it was very gray and it also rained. The weather made ​​me change my weekend plans as I was not able to spend the day out. So I read much but I also cooked a lot. I wanted to try out a few recipes and now I finally had the tie to do so. For example I wanted to cook this red pepper cream soup since spring, but I did not had the occasion. I was quite curious how it would taste. For me personally, it tasted very good, in my opinion it has a sweet taste. Here is the recipe if you want to try it also.

Potato-mushroom casserole

The beautiful weather didn’t last too long so I could cook something again. Some time ago I wrote down a casserole recipe that I wanted to try. And since I had almost all the ingredients at home, I finally decided to cook it. So I bought the missing two ingredients and I started cooking. And because the potato-mushroom casserole tasted very good, the recipe made ​​it on the blog.

Banana nectarines smoothie

Did you miss the smoothie recipes? I've noticed that I haven’t posted one for a long time. That will change today, because I have a summer smoothie for you. I always remain with fruits that are a little too mushy to eat them like this. Since I do not like to throw away food, I always make smoothies out of them. I use all fruits I have...and so far I always liked the result.

Salad with tomatoes, goat cheese and currants

I am now sitting for over 20 minutes before the PC trying to write an introduction for today's post. I started 10 different sentences but deleted all as I was not happy with the result. It's one of those days where I have zero inspiration. I'm sure I can sit here for hours and I will not get further. Therefore, I make it short and painless: Today a new salad recipe is waiting for you.
