My Vegetable Garden Part 2

Gooood morning everybody! This is another sunny day in paradise and I hope that all of you will be able to enjoy it (even if there’s no sunshine where you are). I wanted to give you a little update on my vegetable garden today, since a lot has been happening in my little pots. Two [...]

Happy Easter And A Little Craft

Happy Easter everybody!!! I hope you are enjoying this day as much as I do… Eventhough it’s not for religious believes I love celebrating easter, not only because it’s in spring (my favorite season) but also because it’s the most colorful holiday of all. This year we were really lucky with the weather and timing [...]

Happy Earth Day!

Today it’s Earth Day and many people around the world are using this day to remind themselves and others of the importance of a healthy ecosystem. Way too often us humans forget that this planet is our home and if we don’t take care of it, then we might lose it. In a time of [...]

Banana-Walnut Chocolate-Chunk Cookies

One of the baking books I keep in my collection is Martha Stewart’s “Cookies”. Just looking at the book is so enjoyable because of all the beautiful pictures. Last week I baked these very tasty sounding cookies: Banana-Walnut Chocolate-Chunk Cookies. What a combination! I had to try it (with some small changes). The outcome was [...]

Smoothie With Humor

I don’t know if it’s just my kind of humor, but this one really made me laugh! I was drinking one of these “Innocent” Smoothies the other day…. I am one of those people that usually likes reading what it says on the packaging – that habit probably goes back to my childhood when I [...]

This recipe is almost like the traditional tabuleh recipe but kept very simple. The parsley makes this salad taste so fresh. I love it! Prepare 1 cup of couscous (follow packaging [...]

Another Hobby Of Fritzi….

This is Fritzi, sitting at his window, all excited about the postman coming towards our house. Look how he makes the window all steamy! Fritzi will be at the door, before it rings, desperatly waiting for me to open the door. One might think that Fritzi is excited about the visitor, but no, he is [...]

Room For Rent – My Little Insect Hotel

Since I was little, I always thought that insects were kind of repulsive. I always loved the cute looking ones though, like butterfly, ladybug or the bumblebee. But it took me years to understand how awesome all instects really are. It’s quite amazing what they can do eventhough they are so tiny. Just looking at [...]
