A very popular and typical dish for new year’s eve is Raclette (at least in Switzerland and Germany). And as a good host, of course you want to have enough food, so you have to think what to do with the leftovers. And what better to do than to make an easy leftover casserole! Just add any ingredients you might still have, top with the leftover Raclette cheese and let the oven do the rest! Continue reading “Leftover Raclette Casserole”

This wonderful fruity and light salad is from a former American colleague of mine. I remember being invited over to a Thanksgiving dinner and she had prepared this salad next to a variety of delicious other things. What I really like about this salad is, that it is something fresh next to all the delicious offerings on the Thanksgiving table. Plus it is super simple to prepare. I have to admit, I just combined everything from scratch that I still remembered, so I hope I got the recipe halfway right. But the result was delicious in any case!
