The Easiest Oven Baked Garlic Shrimps
There was a beautiful box of shrimps at the store the other day and I was ‘allowed’ to buy it on condition that I peel them for both me and my Mr. Well this surely won’t stop me, really not a big deal doing it for 2 – I’d probably think about it if I … Read more
Cinnamon-Berry Swirl Buns
I had a small box of fresh blueberries the other day and after having used a handful of it over the course of a few days (mixed into natural yoghurt, with some nice muesli – my favorite breakfast really!) I though it is time to do something else with what was left of this amazing … Read more
Lemon-Garlic Chicken Skewers
Like it or not, the most common meat in our house is chicken. There was a time when I got really fed up with this animal – but then I realized it is probably my fault because the most common dish I prepared was chicken breast with veggies or chicken breast with rice and so … Read more

I do not like to make complicated dishes. Sometimes I may get tempted by a recipe or two (or rather, a photo!) and set out on the culinary journey to create the same at home, but most of the time I’m making the fastest, easiest, simplest dishes (this of course does not mean that they … Read more
Mango-Double Chocolate Muffins
We went to visit a friend of mine the other day and keeping in mind that they have a toddler (and a mini kiddo), I wanted to prepare something that suits a grown up taste as well as a kid’s and it is also easy to pick up and run-back-to-the-toys with. I had a half … Read more
Huevos Flamencos
I was wandering through the pages of a tapas book of mine when my Mr pointed out a picture I would probably never pay much attention to. A nicely colored photo of a quite simple dish, that I thought would taste as “simple” as it was described. After all, what good could come out of … Read more
