In almost every family, some nights can most definitely be crazier then others. At times, whatever is in the fridge will have to do. This is one of these hodge podge dinners that turned out a lot better than I thought. Oven roasted veggies mixed with spicy chorizo, served on top of Gruyère sprinkled flat [...]

Our wonderful neighbors just returned from California and brought us back some dates. And what a coincidence, the perfect granola recipe was already waiting for the dates to arrive. I have had it on my desk for a while, but whenever I suggested to my family to try out a new granola recipe I was [...]

World Nutella day is just once a year, but that won’t work for me. I need my Nutella fix more often than that. Therefore, these home baked Nutella hazelnut cookies fit the bill perfectly.

Quiches and Tarts are very traditional in the Alsace area of France, which is very close to my Palatinate home in Germany.

End of last year I read in one of my cooking magazines that cookie bars will have a revival in the year 2011. I was wondering if any of you might know why they ever went out of style? Personally, I think, that a cookie bar is a very time saving baked good. All of [...]

The phone rings at 5.30 am in the morning. When a call comes in at odd hours my first thought is always that it’s a call from a family member in Germany and something most have happened. Who else would call? Then I get worried, can’t get back to sleep and have to check the [...]

Mr. Rockies’ number one food is beans. He actually eats some every day for lunch and is the happiest person in the world if he gets beans for dinner as well. Chili is one of his favorite dishes, but it has to be up to his standards since he is quite the Chili snob. When [...]
