Some time ago I stumbled over this interesting way of preparing salad. What I like is the fact, that it’s a light dinner, easy to prepare and still you have something warm in your tummy on these colder days heading towards Christmas (and all the deliciousness that goes with it). Works really well with a fried egg too! Give it a try!

Here goes another weekday dinner idea. Fairly simple to prepare, you just need a few of the typical sauces that Asian dishes nearly always include. In the end you have a nice and light dinner alternative, easy of course also to add meat, if you feel like it.

Thanksgiving is nearly here. And with this lovely cake, you will be more than thankful! Haha!
Little tip on the side: If you have leftover carrot purée, just add a little broth and you have a wonderful soup!

Thanksgiving is around the corner and this year round, I wanted to prepare a new pie. We had a pre-thanksgiving-dinner at our friends place. Everyone brought something and our contribution was a pecan pie (and carrot cake – recipe to follow soon). Once again, an easy to prepare dessert…

This is a really nice dish and you can prepare as a veggie or non-veggie version. It does take a bit of preparation, as you need to pre-prepare the veggies in the oven, but the result is delicious and we really love the version with bacon. But then again – bacon goes well with nearly anything. Give it a try!

Pumpkin Season is always great! And the variety of all the pumpkins is so big – it always astonishes me. This year round, I really enjoy preparing dishes with the butternut squash / pumpkin. It has a sweet, nutty taste and is ideal for a soup. But you can of course also prepare oven-roasted butternut pumpkin chunks – sprinkle a little cinnamon on top – so yummy!

With the nice weather outside I really crave a healthy lunch or dinner. My fridge still had a bit of minced meat left, so I thought I might aswell prepare a salad with meatballs! It turned out really nice and due to the fact that meatballs are delicious warm and cold, it’s great to prepare.

Yay – the sun is out again!! But this classic tastes great all year long! A typical Italian – red, white and green – salad, which goes with just about anything. It’s simple, it’s delicious and you can serve in so many different styles. Plus ideal to keep the summer up a little longer!
If you prepare for a few people, I very much like to use cherry tomatoes and smaller sized mozzarella balls. And fresh basil of course. It looks very nice and is easy to serve.

This is a really delicious and great to pre-prepare dinner dish if you have guests. The oven does all the work and you can prep easily and clean up before the guests arrive. And it’s a fairly light and healthy dinner, giving you a little room to have a heavier starter and/or dessert.
