(English) Es ist wieder mal Zeit für ein Gewinnspiel! Ich hatte seit Wochen Lust auf American Cookies, also habe ich gestern einen kleinen spätabendlichen Backmarathon gestartet und ein paar Sorten ausprobiert. Die Rezepte bekommt ihr im Laufe dieser Woche hier auf dem Blog – darunter Cranberry-Erdnuss, Schoko-Banane und, mein persönlicher Favorit, Cashew-Zitrone. Und heute gibt es das Original Chocolate Chip Cookie Rezept. Das kommt ursprünglich von meiner Globetrotter-Freundin Marie, die mal ein Jahr in den USA verbracht hat und Cookie-technisch an der Quelle saß. An der köstlichen, schokoladigen Keksquelle. Und das Rezept, das sie da gelernt hat teile ich heute, etwas abgewandelt und mit ihrer Genehmigung.

(Deutsch) Blueberry muffins are such a classic thing to eat out for me, which is why I never borthered to make them myself. It’s just too easy to find delicious once … well…almost anywhere really. But since my boyfriend‘s latest obsession are blueberries that’s all that weh ad at home when I felt like baking the other day. And boy am I glad about it! When looking at recepies I kept wondering why there is so much flour and so much milk in the muffins. I mean – really? I would have made a normal muffin batter and just put blueberries in. No? …Ok. I had to experiment a little but I finally found the mix I love – fruity, light and not too sweet. Have fun making those tasty treats!

Porridge with berries

(Deutsch) Porridge sounds a lot better than oatmeal gruel. When traveling through New Zealand with my friend, I bought a two-kilo packet on the first day. As we had a car I could easily take it with me and I would make porridge every other morning. Firstly, porridge is delicious and nutritious and secondly it is cheap. If you are on a spontaneous vacation like a six-week trip through New Zealand it might be a bit ridiculous to say that’s where I started saving some money, but I did. So I had porridge one day and pancakes the other day and this is probably why all days where awesome – cause that’s how they started.
