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
No Bake Cheesecake with Mulberry Sauce on a Graham Cracker Base
It was birthday again in the office! Unfortunately though, the birthday girl got sick, as well as many others from my group, so in the end we were only 5 to enjoy this amazing cake. Anyway, it is the intention that counts, right? : ) We enjoyed it for all of the missing people as … Read more
Empanada Gallega or Rather: Tuna Pie :D
I have to admit this is not how I planned this dish. After finding this great step-by-step recipe, for some reasons I decided that a pie pan would be good for this – well, my suggestion is, use a nice big pan or half the recipe, because in my version, the amount of dough was … Read more
Huevos Del Abuelo

First ever meal plan!

Bolognese Puff Pastry Braid
I believe many-many of us love a good pasta Bolognese – with all that tender meat, fresh carrots and tomato puree! I thought wrapping this deliciously tangy sauce into puff pastry can make no harm.

Fruit Juicing Smoothie Snapshots :)
My Mr is in the mood for snapping a few photos of my smoothie making process, I thought I share them because they turned out great! I was making a simple mixed fruit smoothie, with 1/2 fresh mango, kiwi, apple, banana and orange juice – this is always a winner! I cubed and froze the … Read more

Cake’s Second Life: Leftover Cake, Yoghurt and Orange Parfait Cups
For some strange reasons we had leftovers from the other day’s Roscón de Reyes cake – maybe because it was simply too big and everybody around us was trying to stick to the new year’s resolutions? – anyway, I do not like throwing away food so I had to re-think the cake and it ended … Read more
