Pizza is Karl’s specialty. It was one of the first things that he cooked for me! And unlike the full-of-veggies or full-of-healthy-fish things that I often cook, everybody in our family LOVES KARL’S PIZZA! It surely helps that Karl individualizes each pizza with everybody’s favorite toppings. So for a family evening, it is a perfect

Not so long ago I decided to cut on carbs, the before-the-summer resolution… Unfortunately this is not a low-carb-super-healthy recipe.

Tiny caramelly treats invented by the French. Taste great with desert wine or a small coffee, but I think they are best with a glass of cold prosseco. Very easy to make, if you have a silicone pan and are patient enough to leave the batter to rest all night in the fridge…   Ingredients:

That’s a really easy one, low carb but tastes surprisingly good! I recently tried the cauliflower pizza which was advertised so much on Pinterest, and this was bad… Even the veggie-loving-Junior refused to eat it. But this is different; the spicy chorizo with cheese and a good mushroom base work really well. But don’t be

After a long day in the office, a run through the forest on a sunny evening is what I like best. But on top of that, today I got a wonderful surprise! A colourful salad made by the best daughter was waiting for us, and the table for set for dinner! How lucky am I?
