Green Beans

Summer time is a Grill time! And usually I don't think a lot about "what to cook for dinner" simply because in Germany we grill almost every day till it snows... So it's often about a salad or a side-dish. 

We just love everything green! For example - green beans with garlic! 

Simple and sooo good! Perfect as a side dish or even as a one-dish dinner.

Salat a la Caprese

Traditional Caprese Salad is a combination of tomato, mozzarella cheese and some basil. I use sometime a burrata cheese and a pesto instead of just basil leaves. It's a great accomplishment to any lunch, dinner, grill party etc. 

Below you find my secret pesto recipe ;)

Salad with caramelized pear and blue cheese

One of my favorite combination is fruits and cheese - especially in a salad! So it's not even a recipe, but just an idea for summer lunch.

Maier's - my tasty neighbor!

Before I moved to Germany I already new this brand - they are pretty famous because of their mustard. I was always bringing it as a souvenir from Germany. Recently I found out that Maier's is my neighbor! The production is in Stuttgart (Remstal) And non of my friends has ever heard of them! How comes? So this post is a tip for them, who leave here and don't know about such a cool product. But of cause you can get this magic mustards, dips and sauces not only in our region, but all over the world... 

Honestly my favorite is not a mustard but a Dip! It's called "Gut Laune Dip" which means "Good Mood Dip". 

And the bruschetta is also wow! Stephan loves it...
