I know- it´s not spring yet.
so I apologize for this early flower post.

but winter made me do this !

each year round, always the same,
February it starts,
this kind of urge to redecorate my home and
add some flower details and more greens here and there ...

so let`s just say, there is no spring outside yet
(or maybe there where I live)
but I decided to let it slowly start inside my home .

so lovely winter, I think you won`t mind,
I bet you also love flowers ... !?

Happy weekend, friends,
(you will find me cleaning and decorating then ;)...)

just short stopping by to wish you all a happy Valentines day ...

and just a few pictures of these arrow shaped cake pops,

I did with my girl the other day.

these things actually have become some kind of a 

tradition and I already made them several times ...

after trying different versions I came along that a cake pop

filling made out of smashed sponge cake and melted white 

chocolate works best as solid filling ...

( proportion: 1 part melted chocolate, 4 parts cake)

anyways did I mention that I´m actually not so much into these

sometimes quite commercialised holidays , ;)...

... but they make a good cause to create something 

for somebody and make them happy ...

so I´m ok with that :)

happy weekend to you !

me and my little sous chef, had some pink 

glittery girly valentines day fun last weekend.

I so much love to create something together with her,

and she loves it espeicially when it`s tasty, gummy hearts

with edible pink! glitter;)

oh well and it´s healthy by the way :)

 in my version I took:

 around 250 g raspberries, 100 g yogurt,

used some honey and a bit of sugar to sweeten it.

heated it altogether and poured it through a sieve.

after that I had around 300ml liquid and added/

stirred into still warm mixture 2 packages gelatin (18g),

afterwards poured it into a flat form to cool and rest.

and added some pinkish edible glitter,

which is of course just optional

we had it rest for around 3 h in the fridge

then it was ready to be cut out ...

for cutting we used heart shaped cookie cutters,

which worked out pretty well.

we had our gums at a birthday party

and they were a real hit.

they are really fruity and so tasty.

actually you can make these kind of gums,

with whatever fruit juices, tastes, yoghurts, etc. you prefer.

so this won`t be our last version,

for sure:)

(linking up with:
do tell tuesday,
from dream to reality)

ok, as you can see...

we have some more winter over here.

but actually not so difficult to handle

with warm clothes and some soup :) 

so I guess we will make it happily 

through this season  .

so here is another time to 

winter walks and more soup recipes ....

Cut the carrot, onion, and leek 
into 2 cm large cubes and roast along with the  
walnuts in a pot adding a little butter.  
Add the milk and cream and cook with medium heat 

until the vegetables are soft.  

Puree and season.
 

Serve hot and garnish with chopped parsley.

 Enjoy a cozy winter !
