About forgotten stollen :)

I don't remember if I posted about this stollen.

It was 28 December 2019. We had been at home with our baby boy ca. one week. And that day was the first time when I and my husband ate together after his birth :) We opened the Christmas stollen and were amazed by its rich flavor and how good it turned up!

Being exhausted, I felt happy and miserable at the same time... But we survived those times :) I simply needed to sleep enough. Sleep is essential in any difficult situation! Sleep well :)

Best wishes,

Crêpe

My husband is giving me the best gifts ever - culinary books. The French cuisine was gifted six or seven years ago but I have not used it till now. This book was too difficult for me then. But now I am not scared anymore... I can say that a difficult recipe is a perfect way to relax and switch my mind after the whole day with my baby boy.

The first recipe from this book about French cuisine was Crêpe. And it turned up so good that I made it again already the next evening. So I must share it here :) Yummy :)

250 g flour

5 g salt

3 eggs

500 ml milk 1,5%

40 g melted butter

Combine dried ingredients in one bowl, combine wet ingredients in another one. Then mix the both together and let them rest 30 min. This rest is essential because it makes little holes appear in crepes during frying.

I fried crepes without greasing a pan because the batter had enough butter :)

I like them plain, my husband eats them with some jam and Turkish yogurt. Enjoy!

Best wishes,

Hello!

Time, please, stop :) It's March already!

When my baby boy was born I thought I could simply lie, sleep and be with him during the first month... Almost three months are gone, but it seems I've done none of that. I even didn't make any plan because time flew so fast. I only wake up to notice that it's time to go to bed again. Three months!

My little boy is not so little anymore :) I have a back pain when I lift him up :) I read books to him. I don't know if he enjoys it but I like reading aloud. I remember how my mother did it for me and I loved it then. But I was much older then than he is now :) Well, when I read aloud I sometimes forget to do it slowly because a plot so interesting that I want to learn the end as fast as possible.

There is much more sun light now. On some days we managed to go for a walk two times per day and it felt great.

My baby boy is sometimes shy, sometimes so loud! He is smiling a lot. He likes bath time, tummy time and he is awaken during our walks now and is looking around with curiosity. The whole life with so many interesting things is awaiting him :)

I tried some new recipes but I had no time to write about them.

It is Autumn Veggie Bowl from Green Kitchen at Home book by David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl. Good! Interesting! And so many ingredients!

Best wishes,
