Roast beef with fried potatoes
Saying leftover dinner to a roast beef and fried potatoes is a big deal, isn’t it? But with us it is, but a really delicious one! Because when I make a roast beef, I always make sure that I get a larger piece than I actually need and save myself the main work because I …
Roast beef from the oven
A roast beef is always a good idea! Especially if visitors are announced, because the oven does the main work for you, and you have more time for your guests. Roasting a roast beef like this is actually not that difficult, especially if you follow a few tips and tricks that I will explain to …
Swabian Gaisburger Marsch
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 …
Asian salad with Tafelspitz
If you still have some boiled beef left when you made the Tafelspitz, then try out my recipe for the Asian beef salad with Tafelspitz. That’s the great thing about cooking Tafelspitz because there’s always something left over and you get a new dinner—so food for days 😉 It’s quick to make, healthy and simply …
Tafelspitz- boiled beef, which is so good!
Tafelspitz is the perfect meal for a Sunday roast-even that the beef is boiled and not roasted. You can start cooking in the morning, go on about your day and have a beautiful meal in the evening. Whenever I came home from my adventures, my mom prepared it for me. And she still does. The …
German braised beef roulades
Is there a Sunday dinner that calls home more than beef roulades for a German? We absolutely love them and I always make double the portion so that I can freeze some. So I always have some at home. Sometimes I’m a little “weekend philistine” because I like to stand in the kitchen on Sundays …
Stuffed Bell Peppers
I love all the fresh produce that summer offers us. And if you ever have a rainy day, try my recipe for stuffed bell peppers. Best served with a side salad (e.g. a kale salad) and you’re good to go. Oh yes, of course you don’t have to wait until it rains to do them. …
Nachos topped with chili and cheddar
You still have some Chili con Carne left? And now you don’t know what to cook with them? Awesome! I am going to show you here how to make Nachos topped with Chili and cheddar-another quick food for days idea. And do you actually know the difference between Tortillas and Nachos? Tortilla chips are stand-alone …
Tacos with Chili con Carne
Nothing beats a quick and easy dinner for me. So if you happen to have some Chili con Carne left, why not make some Tacos with Chili con Carne? It’s also a great idea for a family style dinner where everyone helps themselves-especially as well when it’s homemade. But with our busy lifestyle, what’s even …
Chili con Carne
Who doesn’t love a good homemade Chili con Carne? I do not know anyone, do you? A good Chili is always great to serve when you have a party, as the longer it cooks, the better it gets! Just serve it with some Baguette and sour cream and you are good to go! And if …
Swabian Maultaschen-German Pasta
I am from the beautiful region Oberschwaben (OK, born in the Allgäu) and some of the best German recipes come from there-including Swabian Maultaschen! And Spätzle while we are at it. They are traditionally served with a side of potato salad, made with broth, not Mayonnaise though. And when I am at home in Ravensburg, …
