Thanks for stopping by my blog even though I have not updated for a while.

the cutest apple rose pies
We all have that "dah" moment from time to time.
It all beginns with an idea. After some pondering, you are almost sure this idea will work out pretty awesome. The only thing that is left now, is to try it out. And then when your idea turns out to be freakin superduperawesome and you can´t wait to tell the world "HA! Told ya this would work! Told ya." then it´s right there. The "daaah" moment. I love that feeling. An awesome egoboost is just what it is.
These little cute pies were nothing else but a thought, an idea I happened to turn into reality this weekend. With a dah moment as a result. Oh, was I happy that they turned out this good.
I started of by making a bunch full of mini pie shells in my mini muffin pan.
In the meantime, while waiting for the pie shells to bake in the oven, I made apples sauce. Oh, dear apple sauce. It is sooo good.
Here you can go ahead and add whatever spices you like. Cinnamon ist el classico of course, but why not try something new?
Then I filled the pie shells with some apple sauce and sliced another four apples in thin [like in really, really thin] slices. I rolled the slices into roses and placed the roses in the apple sauce. Then I baked the pies for some more minutes and I was done.
I love how they turned out and can therefore only suggest that you give ´em a try.
You´re worth it. And they are worth it.

Quark and Peach Cake [my secret addiction]
As this video is a very spontanious one, I had no time to clean up the kitchen properly, grab the better looking bowls or preweigh the ingredients in sweet little jars. I apologize for that, but I hope you can still enjoy the video.
So this is nothing else but a totally unplanned video, about me making dinner.
Cake for dinner? You heard me.
The dish is sweet and was originally served as a dessert, but somehow some years ago we started eating it for dinner instead ... with a salad as a sidedish.
And I would be such a liar, if I told you that is a problem. Cake for dinner is awesome.
[Don´t just eat the salad and the cake on the same plate. You will thank me.]
Talking about liars, this is not really a cake as in "cake-cake". It ´s more like a casserole, but a casserole is something salty to me, so I couldn´t find a better name. Watch the video and you can make up your own mind.
Last but ot least, if you´ve read my blog or a while, you might recognize this recipe. You are fine! No déja-vu here! Don´t worry.
I have posted it before, but my camera happened to be right next to me and I couln´t resist filming the procedure. It was fun until the battery died... so here we go again with the recipe for my secret addiction.
Serioulsy, it´s so good!
