Hi there!
Welcome to my food for days section!
You are probably wondering, ah another meal planner.. Nope, not really. Its more like my way of trying to cook with less waste and be a bit more sustainable.
Here you will find stories about how I can use the same ingredient again or cook smarter. What is in season? Or what are my go to spices or pantry essentials?
There is definitely lots to explore!

For me as a Swabian (south of Germany) there is (almost) nothing more delicious than Swabian Spaetzle. They go with simply everything and are the perfect side dish!

A Swabian classic with leftover Tafelspitz and its broth is of course the Gaisburger March. Traditionally, however, it is prepared with ox meat. So it’s ideal for my food for days side—I make the Tafelspitz and I can conjure up completely different dishes from the leftovers. In this case, I can either make an Asian

In the south of Germany, we have a dish which loosely translates as sour Lentils with Spätzle and Frankfurters- or simply: Saure Linsen mit Spätzle und Saitenwurst. The origin of the dish is from Swabia/Germany-where I am from- and it used to be

Spätzle are fabulous. Some call it Spatzn, some Spätzele, but where I am from they are called Spätzle. And baked with cheese and loads of onions? German Kässpätzle- even better and my absolute soul food. And those are definitely the next level of Spätzle. It’s like the German version of the American Mac and Cheese.

I simply love a bowl for a quick and easy dinner-may it be with tuna, just veggies or my Salmon Buddha Bowl. I think bowls are the comfort food. And if not, let’s declare it! 🙂 But why are they called Buddha Bowls? Let’s quote Wikipedia for this: Here are several explanations for why the name
