Superpower salad

Time for another great salad recipe. We were really committed to the green week. At day two we were excited how to improve the “salad recipe”. We upgraded the salad recipe big time. This time we didn’t use any green salad. All the ingredients go perfectly together and the dressing makes the flavour pop out even more. […]

Pingu snack

Some years ago it was my father’s cousin’s birthday. Therefore I wanted to surprise her with some fun snacks. I have seen somewhere the photo of these snacks and I thought “that can’t be so difficult”. And it was not. It only takes some time, because there is quite some cutting and putting pieces together.

Cheesy apple pide

When looking for a new snack, make sure to try this cheesy apple pide. This, super fun to make, soft and golden-brown flatbread is just one of the variations. In fact, the combination of apples, cheese, onion, parsley and mustard isn’t a classic yet simply amazing. It is a wonderful lunch idea, too.

Bread is one of the most popular foods around the world. It comes in many shapes and sizes. I can’t even tell how many varieties of types are there and with how many different ingredients and spices. I like bread a lot. Bread goes with everything and at any time of the day. If you […]
