Chilling out! Perfect for cooling down during a week of the highest temperatures ever recorded here in Northern Ireland.

This burst of yum illustrates one of my great loves. A simple appetizer or snack for some is a perfectly proper happy meal for me. The creamy avocado with a punch of heat, coupled with the satisfying saltiness of a perfectly toasted chip. *runs for kitchen* 😋

The best vegetarian tacos in my repertoire!

Frozen Margarita is one of our go to cocktails. A long time ago we looked up a recipe which we liked very much. I made a screenshot of it and ended up sending hubs (who makes Margaritas for me 😍) every time he needed the recipe a message with the image of the recipe. Finally I got so tired of scrolling through my message thread or images that I decided to illustrate the recipe once and for all! Now he knows exactly where to look when he wants to make me a frozen Margarita! And you, too, if you like!
I decided to forgo the instruction for the salt rim on the glass, as I do not care for it. But if you want one, just rub the rim of your glass with lime juice and dip it into coarse salt, and voilá! Enjoy!

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

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)

Cooking is the best way to get in touch with your inner goddess-
love, warmth, aromas, flavors... the alchemy...the nourishing food!
This recipe is a divine way to tangle with the goddess!

Easy-peasy. Munchy- crunchy with an Asian touch.

I created this with some of my Vietnamese students in mind. Upon critiquing it for me they were very adamant in stating that since it has shrimp, it is disqualified as authentic pho, but they had only accolades for the design. I've made this recipe for my partner and myself several times now, and we both absolutely love it.

Just discovered this drink this Christmas: it is tasty, a touch of sweetness, bright with fresh lime juice! Perfect to get you through a winter storm. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on Ginger Beer from Maine Root, it will have a nice kick of ginger too. Cheers to the New Year!

An unexpectedly compatible combination of sweet and spicy that takes an ordinary margarita to something undeniably extraordinary!

This year the mint in my herb garden grew like crazy, it was a very hot summer and we had bought a new hammock. So I thought: „Why not combine all three?“ In the end I did research how to make a decent Mojito and was delighted to find out, that it is not that hard to make. So we enjoyed quite a few Mojitos in and out of the hammock this summer. If you want to enjoy one for yourself, here is the recipe we use. Have fun!

A traditional Key Lime Pie!

Playing along with the Pie-in-the-Sky theme!

Cool, refreshing margarita pie a perfect accompaniment to a Mexican feast!
