These Christmas cookies were a huge hit with my boys! They are from Emmas Goodies. You can find the link here: YouTube 

All I did differently was that I've added some extra salted peanuts on top of the chocolate. Like this they tasted even more like Snickers :) Snowball Snicker Cookies. 

These are already the second batch that I made. They turned out more photogenic than the first batch haha! They are not really a sight for soar eyes, but they are delicious! You do need a little patience when you make these. After you've made the dough and shaped them into little balls, you have to place the freezer for 2 hours! 

Best start early in the morning, so you can enjoy them during tea/coffee time in the afternoon :)

Did you guys bake any holiday cookies this season?

I want to wish you happy holiday and a easy transition into the new year! 2022 sounds like a good year to me!

Have you guys been spending more time in the kitchen lately like me?
Quarantine time has got me backing, cooking and eating more than ever before. I have enjoyed going to restaurants and bars in the past, but I have to be my own chef nowadays. Still hate to clean the kitchen, that hasn't changed ;)

A spice mix that I have been loving for so long is from the brand SPICEBAR. They are a german company that offers high quality organic spices and dried herbs. In my household we love Italian food and the 'Pizza & Pastazauberei' is a staple in my kitchen. I have posted an easy SUMMER PASTA recipe on the blog where I used these dried herbs. When I make grilled cheese sandwiches, I like to add this as well. There are so many ways how you can use this. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all food lovers out there.

There is a wide array of products that you can choose from. The 'Red Thai Curry' went into my sweet potato soup, and it was so good! The 'Rührei Deluxe' (Scrambled Eggs) always tops off my omelet and newly the 'Vanille Hafertraum' goes on top of my muesli, the Cinnamon on my waffles, I can go on for a while. If you guys want me to show you how to make your own granola, I can make a little video as well. Let me know in the comments ;)

SPICEBAR has created the discount code 'simonesimons' that will give you €5 of any order from €15.

Happy cooking, baking and eating! Make sure that you don't have to do the cleaning afterwards ;)

If you are a fan of pasta and garlic, you are going to love this!
This summer pasta is super easy to make. This is a fool proof recipe, I promise!
It is a mixture between a caprese salad and bruschetta, but then with pasta.

What you need is your favourite pasta. I like to take tagliatelle for this, but you can use any pasta you like. Depending on the amount of mouths you have to feed (mine are three), you can up the ingredients.






When you are ready to have dinner, cook your choice of pasta.
Once the pasta is finished, rinse well and add to the sauce. At this point I add the mini mozzarella balls. They become nice and soft. A little warning, you might smell very strongly of garlic. You have to make sure the whole family eats it haha! Vincent doesn't like uncooked tomatoes nor mozzerella balls. He just eats the pasta and then I add some tomato sauce to it.
