Her family came from Bavaria and her mom used to prepare homemade Spätzle all the time. There were four kids in the family and they […]

I am running behind, way behind on my Thanksgiving dinner preparations. Painting, cleaning, sorting. I need a vacation, urgently! Do you feel the same? Nevertheless, still time to make some homemade cranberry sauce. Don’t give in; no store bought jelly-like stuff, alright! This is my favorite recipe. It enhances the flavors of the cranberries with […]

It snowed last weekend. Yes, winter arrived earlier than usually. Can you believe it? I hope this doesn’t lead us into lots of cold weather down the road since I am not up for it yet. I mean, I am really never up for it, except that I need some snow to enjoy my time […]

I think being a “pizza snob” is a good thing! At our house we usually prefer pizza with a thin crust sprinkled with some olive oil and simple fresh ingredients like tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.
