Breakfast Yogurt

The other day I went to the farmers market. One of my favorite market stands is the one from “Gut Wulfsdorf”, an organic farmer from the area. They have a great selection of vegetables and also sell a small collection of milk products. On that day I took home an organic yogurt, which I had [...]

Eco Friendly Shopping On Etsy

One of my newest discoveries in the world wide web is a page called Etsy. An online platform for all kinds of small businesses and a great philosophy: “Our mission is to empower people to change the way global economy works. We see a world in which very-very small businesses have much-much more sway in [...]

Chocolate Cranberry Cake (Vegan)

The other day I made my first vegan Oh-my-god-this-is-good-Chocolate Cake! So moist and so chocolaty, just the way I like it. From my posts about my vegetable garden you might remember that we have a lot of zucchinis growing and I’m constantly looking for good recipes. One of the first recipes that I found was [...]

Quinoa With Veggies And Cranberries (Vegan)

I made this healthy vegan dish for lunch yesterday. The second time I ever cooked with quinoa, a grain-like crop that provides a great source of protein. It reminds me a bit of couscous, but is still much different from anything comparable. Just recently I heared of it for the first time, but I’m sure [...]

Dessert In A Jar: Chocolate-Banana-Cookie (Vegan)

Remember that I made a dessert in a jar the other day? It was with berries, cookies and organic curd and it was sooo good! I think “jar desserts” will become a new obsession of mine. They are not only cute to look at but also so easy to make and great for picknicks or [...]

My Vegetable Garden Part 6

Here is a new update from my little vegetable garden! So far, the summer has been more rainy than sunny (it’s actually starting to rain again while I’m writing this) but it seems like it didn’t bother my plants too much, exept that the tomatoes are growing very slowly due to the low temperatures. When [...]

Two Days At The Sea To Recharge My Batteries

Do you know the feeling, when the modern world robs energy from you? Sure, internet, media and technologies have its positive/informative/fun sites, but often it creates a flood of useless information that can clutter up the brain and give you headaches. Whenever I feel this way, I know that spending time in nature, with animals [...]

Eco Friendly Outfit Of The Week

Hey everybody! I hope that all of you are having a great week. It has been raining here in Hamburg almost non-stop, but instead of letting my mood be drowned by it, I made the best out of it and either spent cozy time at home, went for a movie or took long walks in [...]

Movie Snack: Salted Chocolate Popcorn (Vegan)

Hey everybody, I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Yesterday I had a fun evening with friends. We went to the movies to watch “The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes”. Have you seen it yet? The story was somehow predictable, but I still liked it alot. But how could I not like a [...]

Sweet Potato And Arugula Pasta

One of my new absolute favorite dishes is this easy to make and simple vegetarian recipe. We prepared it many times allready for friends and family and it’s always a big hit. The combination of flavors sound unusual at first but trust me, this is good stuff! : ) I found the recipe while I [...]
