A New Year Of Change

Today we‘ll say goodbye to 2010 with excitement of what the future will bring. It‘s gonna be a new year of shocking news and heartbreaking stories – things we cannot always prevent from happening. Nevertheless there is so much each and everyone of us can do to make things better on this planet. There is [...]

From The Heart

This Swarovski heart necklace was given to me as a gift. It’s not only beautiful but I also love the fact that its string is made of waxed cotton instead of leather. I always find it fascinating how many great alternatives there are to animal products. Thumbs up!

Fritzi And His Lasagne

The other day I heared Fritzi cry in the kitchen. Usually he would sit infront of the door, waiting to go in the garden, so I went to open the door for him. But instead of sitting in front of the door, he was sitting infront of the counter and he was crying for the [...]

Jumbleberry Crumble (Vegan)

This dessert has just the right combination of hot & cold and sweet & sour. It‘s great comfort food for cold winter days. : )  I recommend that you try this recipe with vegan ingredients but it can also be made with diary products. For 6-8 persons you‘ll need: about 750 g of frozen berries [...]

The Day After Christmas

Compared to 30 years ago, we not only buy more gifts but also our gifts are [...]

Cozy Christmas Inspiration

It’s one day before christmas, so I thought I’ll post some home inspirations. It’s time to get cozy! Which is your favorite of these inspirations?

Christmas Granola

This granola is delish, easy to make and makes a lovely edible gift. Vegans can leave the chcolate confectionery out or take vegan chocolate instead. You‘ll need: 3 cups of oats (I took 1 cup quick cooking oats and 1 cup old fashioned oats) 1 cup of walnuts and pecans 1/4 cup coconut flakes 4-5 tsp [...]

Picture of the day

Our dog Fritzi loves food (we definatelly have that in common). But as if his own food is not enough for him, he would even try to snack on the birds food. Very sneaky, Fritzi!

Saving Trees One Gift At a Time

Don’t you all love the look of a beautifully wrapped gift? I think it makes the giving even more fun and exciting. All the fun makes it easy though, to forget about all the waste the yearly gift-wrapping is producing. This is why I’ve been looking for eco-friendly alternatives and found the most beautiful wrappings. [...]
