Poppy seed and Turmenic Hamburger Buns

Hamburgers and buns. What should I say? I hate those spongy commercial made things that you can get from the supermarkets. If possible I will avoid them. While ago I found a really simple a good hamburger bun recipe which I tried and modified to fit my taste. I have made couple of variations of…

Lemon and Poppy Seed Strawberry Shortbread cakes, with Licor 43 Whipped Cream

When I was in the USA as exchange student ages ago, I fell in love with Strawberry Shortcake. There was a great restaurant in Springfield MO, where to my family went always for Sunday lunch. They served this wonderful pie which was so crispy but filled with this ooey-gooey strawberry mixture and topped with whipped…

Tomahawk Steak

I have a hubby who’s carnivore with capitol C! So today was his day when it comes to food. I went shopping to Mekur Market near Wels and they had aged Tomakawk cut steaks. For some reason it is very hard to find dry aged meat in Austria. Austrians are not yet familiar with what…

Asparagus wrapped in FILO

Today’s recipe is so simple but really good. I will have my wine club ladies over next weekend for wine tasting and I have been racking my head over what to serve? It has to be something light and fit into the wines I will be serving. I also would like to stick with the…

Lemony Asparagus Pasta and Parmesan Chicken

I am still on my asparagus trip but it is starting to wear off. Almost moth eating pasta has taken its toll. But this is one of my new favorites and Kiddo loves it. This pasta is dead easy to make and fast. It will be a real crowd pleaser also. Simple, yet elegant in…

Asparagus and Chicken Stir Fry

Traditional asparagus dishes aside! One of my big foodie loves is Asian food. This recipe is compining couple of different world kitchens that has had influence on me. Asian cooking is one of my favorites to do. Taste,color and easiness of it is what I love. Stir fry some are so simple to do and…

Asparagus soup with twist

There are so many Cream of Asparagus Soup recipes but I have always stayed with the good old one,but today I desired to try something new! This soup has lemon and Parmesan cheese in it, not so common combination with the tender asparagus taste. But belive me, it works fabulously. The tangy taste of lemon…

Palmbuchl and Easter in Austria

Easter is coming up and I am lucky to have so many different cultural influences around me. I have planned our Easter Sunday lunch together with my best friend who comes from Romania. As always it will be lots to eat and very good food,but that aside, I am not a religious person at all…

Spring Vegetable and Ricotta Quiche for Easter Brunch

I have been racking my head for Easter Brunch ideas. It should be something reasonably easy to make but same time pretty and have spring spelled all over it. Last fall I made simple quiche with Parmesan crust and topped it with tomatoes from my own garden. The taste was amazing and texture great,so I…

Mango Waffles

Soooo… Our family is on waffle trip 😂 The recipe that I made for the spinach waffles was a hit. Kiddo has been whining me to make waffles for him and his best friend for the whole day. He saw that we had a mango in the fridge and asked from me if we could…

Mac & Cheese

Spring means for me busy time outside. Cleaning the garden and planting the things. Cursing voles and moles, and the damage they have done in my garden during the winter time. This also means that I do not have time for fancy and time consuming cooking,so I tend to do lots of soups and casaroles….
