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!

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 …
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 …
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! And they are not that hard to prepare as well and the ideal comfort food. But, what are Swabian Spätzle? Swabian Spätzle is a type of German …
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 …
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 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 …
Do you know someone who doesn’t like pancakes? Exactly, neither do I. My kids love pancakes so much that I have to make them once a week now. Since my children prefer the pancakes either with Nutella or with powdered sugar, we usually have a soup beforehand. Those Pancakes are slightly different from the American …
Lentils are some of the most versatile legumes I ever came across. 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 …
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 …
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 …
