A very easy recipe yet very delicious Oyakodon, one of my favorite Japanese Food. Basically you can use any meat or garnish from your refrigerator and just put it in one pan, but soy sauce and mirin is the game changer! so make sure you have one in your kitchen :)

Have a good day.

A refreshing drink for spring: strawberries, blueberries and lemonade.

I was craving for some chocolate cookies when I found the perfect yet beginner friendly recipe on ' cafedelites.com. ' Immediately gave it a try, although with low expectations from my skills. However, the cookies turned out super awesome - just the perfect crunch yet soft to bite in.

When I read the topic „my happy meal” for the play along, I had this dish in my head immediately. It is very seasonal as blood oranges are only available here for about two months. So in early February I ordered blood oranges, pink grapefruits and kumquats as well. On a whim I threw them together and it has become a treat I look forward to every delivery (and now the next ten months). Grapefruits, blood oranges and kumquats are complimenting each other’s taste. Add some walnuts and a dollop of greek yoghurt and you have a firework of sweet, tangy, a little bit bitter, crunch and creaminess. Besides the awesome taste I enjoy turning the brightly colored fruits into this dessert so much that after cutting, peeling and filleting I am always smiling, happy and a little high on colors, textures and aromas.

Baseball has the best snacks! The limited color pallet enhances the classic aesthetic of this piece.

Mexican food is so festive and these tacos are definitely my favorite Happy Meal!

Sunday morning, well afternoon, tradition dragging everyone out of bed and back together to laugh about the night before.

My birthday is coming up, and I am easy to please, because my happy meal can be picked up at our local supermarket. Publix in Florida has a great sushi case and a sushi chef right on site making all of my favs. Their bakery has the best cakes, too. I love strawberry shortcake, but a regular vanilla cake with frosting and sprinkles is absolutely fine by me. Just don’t forget the candle! (Since I usually do the cooking in the house, this is a “store-bought” recipe for my night off 😋 that my sweetheart can easily whip up.)

Easy to make at home Milk Kefir is a true health wonder gem. You can pimp the finished product with all any flavour you like - fruit, vegetables, spices, herbs.

Broccoli Paneer with thyme is my favourite dish to prepare as its full of nutrients. It’s super quick to prepare and is rich in antioxidants.

There is always time for a delicious bowl of ramen.

A scene from the time I visited Switzerland and had the best breakfast ever with an even better view of snow capped mountains and green grass.

This illustration is done from the Learn Along Color exercise using the 3 color palette. Quite challenging but had fun with the process!

Ramen is one of my favorite comfort food for chilly weather! I love the hot rich pork or chicken flavored broth, chewy noodles and all the possible add-ons to ramen soup. Also, ramen bowls are so much fun to eat, each bite is a delicious combination of new textures and flavors!

Peas with dumplings, the way my mom makes them are the best! That is my favorite dish in the whole world. It smells like childhood and tastes like happiness every time I see my family. We're several countries apart for more than six years now, and every time I visit them, this is the first dish, my mom cooks. It's been a year and a half since I have last seen them, and I can't wait to hug them and taste my favorite meal again.

The Citrus Refresher is my go-to cocktail. The sweetness of the orange-infused simple syrup and the tartness of the lemon/lime juice pairs well with the pool-side B)
