We recently have discovered our love to yeast dough. It is so simple and turns out great. You just need a little bit of time and you need to watch it, so that it doesn’t rise too much! Perfect for our current situation where we …
Fall is here and now completely – with the good and bad sides! We have been enjoying the beautiful weather but at the moment it is raining again – perfect for an cozy afternoon at home with some coffee and some selfmade cake! Maybe a …
Finally we are back home and have some time to share our BASIL PESTO recipe! Both vegan and the traditional version!
It is just the best! For us, BASIL PESTO is a must sometimes, especially when we are graving pasta but don’t want the usual stuff with tomato sauce or so.
And in the summer when we have so much basil, one of the only options to get rid of most of it is by making some HOMEMADE PESTO! It is super easy and just takes a couple minutes if you have a food proccessor. Quick and so much yummier than the one from the store!
This is the recipe now for the traditional pesto with Parmesan. Yummm!!!
For the vegan version the key is to replace most of the Parmesan, if not more, with nuts. Here you can decide what nut taste you like best. We usually replace it with lots of pine nuts and cashews! If you have vegan Parmesan at home from the store or selfmade you can use that as well!
We usually change the proportions of the ingredients for the vegan recipe a little bit because it just tastes better that way!
So maybe you still got some basil in your backyard or you will buy some next time when you go to the store and then you will give one of those two recipes a shot! It will be so worth it and it will be an awesome, easy and healthy soulfood!
So if you are vegan, this recipe is for YOU!

What do you need for your breakfast? Are you a cereal lover or do you like some bread with some yummy jam? If you are the second type, this blog post is for you!
We love bread or buns with jam or nutella on the weekends! During the week we sometimes go without some breakfast and sometimes it will be a yoghurt, oatmeal or a chia pudding. But on the weekends, jam is so necessary for a good and big breakfast!
We always had selfmade jam at home and therefore it is just normal to us to make our own jam. There are two types that are not allowed to miss in our fridge: strawberry and apricot! For Marie, apricot is one of the best jams there is, it is just the right mix between sweet and sour!
Homemade jam tastes just so much better than some jam from the store and one of the best benefits is that you know what is in your jam and that is really not much! Fruit and sugar, basically!
If you have never tried it yourself, you should really give it a try! It doesn’t take long and you will be so happy when you eat some bread with your own jam – it is the perfect way to start in the day!!!
Now is just the right time, as you still can find apricots on the farmer markets or in the supermarket. Grap some the next time you are at the market and then you are halfway there 🙂 Look at the recipe and you know we are telling the truth!
The trick that you need to keep in mind is if you don’t eat all the jam at ones, place the still sealed glases in the freezer. This will help you keep the jam as colorful as it is in the beginning.

What are you doing during those hot summer days, especially when you have guests over? What are you baking or cooking with or for them? During these hot days we try to use our oven as little as possible but for this recipe it is …
SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER – do you feel this way too? We had some super hot day last week and starting tomorrow there are more to come! For us this just screams summer!
What have you guys planned for your summer? Are you going on vacation and if so, out of the country? Or are you bring the vacation and holiday feeling home? We think if it as warm and nice as at the moment, vacation at home totally works. With this recipe you can bring a little bit of Italy home on your plate, especially when it is warm and you don’t want to eat everything and this is a great option.
We prefer cold dishes like salads and light food options in the summer! One of them is this AMAZING SEAFOOD SALAD!!! It is so much easier then we thought and soooooo tasty! The only difficult part is to gut the seafood but with the help of some videos, you will be able to do it too! And it is so worth it! I think I never had such a good Insalata di Mare.
