Vegetable pie

GemüsekuchenThere is nothing better as finding such a great recipe when looking for a Dinner Inspiration in the world wide web. When I saw the recipe for this vegetable pie on Chaosqueens kitchen I was immediately hooked. Fast and delicious, with whole grain and lots of vegetables, this recipe sounded perfect for me. So I take a quick look into my pantry. I had a nice mix of winter vegetables at hand: parsnip, celeriac, carrots and broccoli. The only thing missing were Sunflower seeds so I replaced them with sesame.

The pie was as delicious as promised and so easy to prepare. Its the perfect recipe for a dinner after a long workday.

Chaosqueen found the recipe in two variations on Barbaras Spielwiese and the original Post was on Sammelhamsters Blog. Continue reading

Spelt Oat Whole grain cookies

When I have to stay in lab until late in the evening, I need some carbohydrates somewhere at the late afternoon or early evening to refresh myself. One or two cookies are perfect for that, best with some coffee and a chat with my colleagues.

My favourite cookies are wholegrain, with a lot of oats inside. I love this nutty flavour of oat cookies. When I saw the recipe for digestive biscuits on Swirl & Scramble I knew I had to test it!

I made some minor changes due to my pantry: I used freshly ground spelt and oat, replace brown sugar with raw sugar and add some homemade vanilla sugar. I also add a pinch of salt as I always do when cooking something sweet.

The cookies turned out perfect. So good that I bake the double amount! Continue reading

Whole wheat potato bread

Kartoffel-Vollkornbrot I am back from my holidays and I am back in the chaos. The lab I am working in is moving into a new building and after two years of postponeing the university preponed it now. So instead of having a whole week to pack my stuff in lab only the weekend was left. When we came back I go dirctly to the lab. I was so relived that I sorted everything in advance!

The moving itself was very exhausting and I was to tired to write something in my blog or even to read other blogs. But the main part is now done and today I have a day off because we have a security inspection. We Ph.d. students should stay away because the less persons are around the less mistakes can be done (like entering a lab without labcoat).

So I have time for answering comments, reading other blogs, writing new posts and enjoying Susans weekly Yeastspotting. Of course I bake a little bit, too. A soft whole wheat potato bread! Continue reading
