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!

Are you looking for a recipe for a classic chicken fricassee? Which tastes just like while growing up? Then I have just the recipe for you! I got the recipe from my mom and it’s also our family recipe. You could also say a chicken fricassee like grandma used to make. Or simply: just like […]
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
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
A classic Middle Eastern spread, traditional hummus is a purée of chickpeas flavored with garlic, lemon juice, tahini (sesame paste) and olive oil. In Dubai, it was no problem to get my hummus fix in any supermarket or restaurant- but back here in Europe? I mean, unless you go to hummus bar or a restaurant
I know, it basically is not possible to have leftover Schnitzel. But if you happen to have some left, why not try a Chicken Schnitzel Wrap? It’s fast, simple to make, and it tastes awesome cold or warm. You can also prepare it for a quick office lunch or school snack for the next day.
Recently I found out that I actually love my legumes, especially lentils. And Lentil Salads! Well, it’s more like a realization than finding out. I realized that I love lentils when I started writing down recipes for sabrina`s table. But hey, what’s not to love about them? They are super healthy, versatile for any cuisine
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,
So you did the Sheet Pan Chicken but don’t fancy a salad? But rather something a bit more substantial? Why don’t you make a super easy Chicken Sandwich? If you are like me and you do not have a sandwich grill at home just toast your flatbread/ bread in the toaster while prepping everything else.
Having leftovers from the Sheet Pan Chicken? Perfect! Let’s make a simple but delicious leftover mixed Salad with Vegetables and Chicken! It’s done in an instant and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner! You can use your favourite dressing, but if you do not have one yet, I got you covered! Well, actually, I have
