How to Wrap Your Christmas Presents

If you suck as much at wrapping presents as I do, here is a pretty good video guide: 

I also stumbled over this one...not sure whether my dog would like this too much though.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

The Best Christmas Baking Recipes

Santa Strawberries

So cute and easy to make – the best choice for bloody beginners!

 

Soft Chocolate Chip Gingersnap Cookies

To be honest, I’m normally not too fond of gingerbread, but this dish looks tasty.

Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookie

This recipe puts a twist to the all-time classic. Can it really top the American chocolate chip cookie? Challenge accepted!

Rudolph Cookies

Although the cookie looks like a piece of art, the recipe seems to be pretty easy. A great present idea in my opinion, what do you think?

Christmas Pudding Truffles

I thought the combination was alluring and you’d probably make loads of people happy with these classy self-made truffles.

Christmas Tree Cupcakes

When I first saw a picture of those cupcakes, the scales fell from my eyes. How did I not think of this mind-blowing invention myself? I excitedly started hammering key words into my PC, because I just had to find the according recipe as fast as possible. Are you as flabbergasted as I am?

Edible Snow Globe

Again, this recipe involves gingerbread, but this time it’s about building a gingerbread house. Personally, I would NEVER eat one, because it would simply be too good to pig out on it.

Santa Cake Pops

Still looking for a last-minute present? You’re a poor student who’s on a tight budget? What about these Santa Cake Pops? You can produce a dozen with little effort.

Vanilla crescents

Last but not least, the ultimate Christmas cookie. I don’t believe that any Austrian has never even tasted a vanilla crescent before. During winter time, they are as common as sand on the beach and for good reasons; can anyone resist the crumbly cookie which has been covered with powder sugar?

Cantonese  Egg Tart  

This is probably what you’d call an anti-Christmas cookie. Still, I included it in the list, because I fell in love with these egg tarts this summer. The egg custard is gooey, whereas the tart itself has a crunchy texture. Are you brave enough to try it? (Trust me, there are no weird flavors in it, it just tastes different than most pastries in Austria).

I hope you enjoyed the very belated Christmas post and I’m sorry that it’s about food again, but lately I haven’t been thinking of much else (can you blame me?). Guys, I wish you all a great great Christmas with your beloved ones and of course a happy new year – in case the world doesn’t end tomorrow. Stay tuned.

 

10 Bewitching Breakfast Ideas

     Cookie Pancakes

Basically you just replace the usual pancake batter with cookie dough. If you’re someone that eats with the eyes as well, you could cut out heart-shaped pancake pieces or form a teddy bear pancake.

 Egg Bacon Cupcakes

I tried this recipe out for the first time during my stay in Hong Kong. There was almost nothing in the apartment, apart from a pack of bread slices, some eggs and ham. So, as you are probably a very clever person, you’ve realized that I had to adjust the recipe to the ingredients that I could scrape together.

 Breakfast Donut Muffins

Why not combine two delicious desserts into one that will blow your mind away?

 Cinnamon rolls

A must-have for all the sweet teeth out there!

Grilled sandwich

A simple sandwich deserves so much more credit from us than we actually give it. Is there any other dish that can be so versatile? It could be salty, sweet, spicy – anything you want it to be.

Filled omelet

This dish is great because there are so many possibilities to spice it up. You can constantly try out new filling combinations and adjust them to your personal preferences.  

Breakfast Bagel

Bagels are a great substitute for sandwiches. They are very filling, handy when you only want to grab a bite on your way to university or work and above all taste heavenly.

Melon Fruit Bowl

Only recently did I stumble over this recipe. I haven’t tried it out yet, but doesn’t it look gorgeous?

Fried Bread Sticks with rice porridge

This might not sound that appealing to you, however, it’s a very typical breakfast dish for Chinese people. If you’re brave, give it a try. Normally, rice porridge is seen as the main meal and can be served with duck eggs, tofu and many more side dishes.

Berry Smoothie

If you feel like having a lighter breakfast, making yourself a smoothie is probably one of the best options you have.

Have fun cooking and bon appetit!
