This is the cutest sausage ever. I found it on one of my favorite food blogs - Just One Cookbook, where Nami creates an amazing Japanese meals. She also has children and prepares their lunch boxes and I’m sure that she’s tired of me writing all the time how cool it looks. It does!
I am a sweet tooth. I’m trying to fight with my urge for sugar and cheat with healthier options. It’s not easy at all, whenever I see chocolate I feel like grabbing it. But it is possible to make something delicious and healthy. Like this apple fritters. It will be more healthy without a glaze, but come one, you can pour just a little bit, just for a taste. I found this recipe on Erin’s healthy blog - Texanerin. It is definitely too good to be healthy.
I do not live in Amsterdam anymore, but I still love Dutch baby pancakes. It is easy to make, looks awesome and the way of serving is interesting. One pancake is good for two people and you can put whatever you want on it.
Can you feel spring? It’s officially here. I can feel it in my bones and sun helps to believe in what’s happening. I hope that for the next two months it will be warm and beautiful. It’s hard to work with birds singing outside, but a girl has to do what she has to do.
I had to make my taxes in 3 countries this year, don’t ask me why/how/WTF, I can’t even say a word “taxes” anymore. I just hope that it’s all good. This forbidden word equals stress in my case. When I stress out, I eat sweets, but not any sweets, I eat super extra good sweets.
Two days ago the sun appeared in Berlin. It was a sign to leave my apartment as fast as possible. To draw you a picture - when it’s sunny everyone dance on streets and no one stays inside. That’s why I went on an Open Air Festival in a full sun and I had the best weekend. I really hope that a warm weather will stick to Berlin and that I’ll be able to wear my summer dresses soon. Also good outdoor events start to appear in my city. On Thursday I’m going on a Street Food Thursday, where I’ll be able to taste goodies from all over the world. If you’re happen to be in Berlin, it will be hosted each Thursday. There may be lines, as my friend warned me, but it’s worth waiting for something delicious.
I’m not crazy for kitchen gadgets. I usually don’t have them. I got my first kitchen mixer one year ago, so not too fast. But there are things I really want to have, like Chemex (I love it) or an iron pan. After a long time of wanting (I told you, I’m not too fast) I got my first iron pan. It is heavy, perfect for two and very pretty. I went through hundreds of recipes and finally I ended up on Donna Hay’s site. I found this amazing recipe including mozzarella, mushrooms, rosemary and the iron pan.
When I was a child, among me and my friends there were three favorite breakfasts: pancakes with apples, crepes or pancakes with yeast (racuchy). The choice depended on parents or grandparents who made it in a particular home. In my house we were eating pancakes with apples. I used to terrorize my grandmother to make it as often as possible. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner (sometimes I did). My mother used to make crepes but it was nothing in comparison to my grandma’s pancakes (sorry mom). I loved them.
Welcome to my dream, yes literally. I am still jet lagged and I feel like living in a dream or rather standing next to my body most of the time. But I also have good moments, usually very early in a morning, like 4 am, when it’s still dark outside, apartment is covered in a total silence and I can drink my coffee and enjoy alone time with my sweet cat Ryszard. At this time he’s very tired so he just comes to the kitchen and lies down on my knees.
Happy Easter everyone! Have a lovely time, get rest, enjoy company of people you love and eat all the goodies! But then, after Easter, if you feel like something healthy for breakfast, red quinoa with raisins and pecans will be perfect.
