Melanzane alla Parmigiana (Italian eggplant, tomato & cheese casserole)

Prettaly_MelanzaneAllaParmigiana.jpg

Being an Italy fan, I really enjoy the Italian food. This time I made an Italian eggplant, tomato and cheese casserole. It’s one of my favorites and actually not really difficult to prepare. Often I even prepare as a casserole a day before serving as it gets better every time you heat it! It’s perfect as a weekday dinner, but also great when served as a side dish to a steak or a BBQ.

Easy Cajun Drumsticks, Sweet Potatoes & Avocado

For this recipe I combined a variety of spices, adapting the recipe from a German cooking magazine. My trick – use the same spice mixture and spice fish or vegetables with it!
The good thing about this recipe is, that it mainly cooks for you and you can prepare the rest – or watch the match, while cooking for a bunch of hungry friends, while still being able to watch the game yourself!

It’s simple, healthy and fast to prepare, which is a big help on weekday nights (or any other night) if you are hungry and don’t feel like making a big fuss on preparing anything. The good thing is, there is no need to peel the green asparagus!

White Asparagus with Avocado & Parmesan with Vinaigrette Sauce

Spring time is asparagus time. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland white asparagus is a big thing during April to June. The white asparagus is actually no different to the green one. The easy explanation is: it’s the same plant, however the white one is grown under soil and the green one is exposed to sun light straight away and receives its green color (chlorophyll / photosynthesis). In any case: A delicious and light dinner.

Zucchini with Mint & Basil Pesto and Halloumi

Have you ever tried halloumi cheese? It origins from Greece and has a fairly hard substance and is slightly squeaky when you eat it. It really tastes great on the BBQ too, by the way, keeping that in mind for summer time! But it is also great year around, combined with zucchini today!

Finally Spring is on its way and you want your food lighter than in winter. So here is a vegetarian recipe (but you can combine with fish or meat – see side note below). It’s perfect as a starter (for 4) or a light dinner (for 2). The color combination caught my eye directly and the taste is great. Hope you like it!

Tuna-Capers-Pasta

Thanks girls, for going down memory lane and asking for the recipe of my typical «student dinner» (which is quite some time ago – haha!). A dear friend cooked this dinner for me years ago and I adapted it to what I still remembered. It’s a perfect dish for a weekday dinner that is super easy to prepare. And with the tuna and capers that don’t have fast expiration dates, ideal to store for emergencies and to prepare when you want to have a quick & easy dinner, without having to shop for ingredients!

A few weeks ago I teased you guys with an upcoming recipe for the best (at least in my eyes) Bolognese sauce. The special trick is the lemon. It gives the sauce a very fresh taste and is just to die for.
