I love the squash season. This recipe is tasty, hearty and easily done. Just roast the squash in the oven with rosemary and red onions. Serve with yogurt, meat or eggs – whatever you prefer.
Spaghetti Squash with Hazelnuts, Almonds and Parsley
Unfortunately the squash needs quite a while to roast. But for me it is worth it. That’s why I like to recommend this recipe.
As this squash has not the typical squash-flavor (in my opinion) this recipe could be doable for people who do not like squash that much.
Finally, the Vitamix!
For quite some time I have the wish for a Vitamix. Well, the Vitamix Pro 750 is in my kitchen now. My first kitchen tool with HP description… 2.2 HP! Indeed, that is noisy! But also very powerful. You can create yummy sorbets in no time, tasty purées and much, much more. I can not wait for a green smoothie!
It comes with a cookbook that offers a lot of recipes and motivate to own creations.
Braised Chicken and Brussels Sprouts
Once more: brussels sprouts. I prefer this dish very much in the cold season of the year.
Instead of the shallot I add leek sometimes. Turkey steaks are a good option to the chicken breasts, too.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Red Onions
Brussels sprouts… not everybody’s favorite produce. But maybe you give this recipe a try. It is an absolutely easy recipe. It goes with everything from yogurt to meat. Or just without.
Almond Poppy-Seed Loaf Cake
I like loaf cakes. This one is definitely one of my favorites and I can have it at breakfast with some berries, too. Absolutely! Besides you can keep this loaf cake quite a while.
Herbed Veal Chops
Who likes veal I guess will like these chops. I found the recipe at MarthaStewart.com, too. And this I did not change. Very delicious!
Butternut Squash
Nothing easier than preparing a butternut squash. The shell is so soft that you can remove it with a peeler. Halve the squash lengthwise, remove the kernels, prep the flesh as needed.
Nutty Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts… it is a vegetable that – I would say – is not the most popular one. Even I was not such a huge fan of it. Then I had second thoughts because of some interesting recipes I found. So I gave the Brussels sprouts a second chance. Good decision. The following recipe is not time-consuming and convinced me by the use of mustard, too.
“Martha’s American Food” by Martha Stewart
Apparently I was quite ambitious to choose recipes and mark with post-its. Well, there is a lot to cook and to bake! For me these recipes are mostly in the category “favorite dish”. For this reason they are not always counting as healthy food. Anyway, to thumb through is just a joy and brings quite a good appetite…
David Kirsch – Sound Mind, Sound Body
Yes. Once more David Kirsch. I really like his workouts. And this one will let you sweat. That’s for sure. Legs and butt will burn…
My Stand Mixer
The decision to buy a stand mixer was one of the best ever. It really makes a difference to a hand mixer. I was extremely surprised! As I enjoy baking I use my KitchenAid mainly for this purpose. Even mixtures I was not sure about how they should work for cake or cookies… they succeeded. Doughs and batters become very light.
At first I decided to have such a kitchen tool because it is just timesaving. The machine is running while you can prepare something else. Very convincing for me!
I guess other machines work the same way as the KitchenAid. I just like the design from KitchenAid products.
Hazelnut Cookies
These cookies are winners for me because you will only need few ingredients and they are not time-consuming until you can enjoy them. Preparing the hazelnut meal by yourself means you will need more time. But at the end the cookies will be more tasty and will smell incredible. So delicious.
Pumpkin Bread with Sage
More pumpkin because it is in season. And I will not miss to try as much recipes as I can. This pumpkin bread I would say is the best I tested, even if it tastes more like a cake.
Muscat Pumpkin Puree
I prepare muscat pumpkin puree frequently to freeze it. I usually freeze 1 cup per box. So I will always have pumpkin puree at hand to bake pancakes, cakes, bread or so. Thaw the puree completely before using.
