Now it's time again, easter holidays are in the house and everyone is preparing some easter treats and decorating the house with many colors to brighten up this time.
I couldn't take pictures on my own the last days so I picked some of my favorite easter pictures found on Pinterest, hope you enjoy.
I hope you all have a fabulous easter holiday and some blessed time with your families. <3
What are your favorite easter traditions? Some treats you can't imagine easter without?
It's still freaking cold here in Germany and I am so sick of it! Because there is no sunny weather and no beach in sight I decided to warm up from the inside to brave this cold and grey weather.
In autumn I love to make pumpkin soup because it's eutrophic, healthy and makes you full.
But when I saw a hokaido pumpkin in the supermarket yesterday I wanted to cook a soup and decided that it's not only good for autumn but for every cold day!
I want to share the recipe with you because I love this soup and it's so easy to recook!
Hope you enjoy your day and if you're living somewhere where the sun is still shining please tell her to visit Germany as well! :p

I know it doesn't look that delicious because of it's color but it is!
Pumpkin Soup Recipe:
ingredients:
1 onion
1 Hokaido pumpkin
1/2 sweet potato
2 tsp. vegetable broth
boiling water
native olive oil
curry, thai curry, pepper, sea salt
At first split the pumpkin half and remove the inwards. Now cut it in broad cubes. You don't have to peel the pumpkin (that's why I love it!) but you can if you want to! Peel the sweet potato and cut it in cubes as well. Now cut the onion in little cubes and roast them gently with a little bit olive oil. When the onions are softly brown add the pumpkin and simmer it for about 5minutes. After that add the sweet potato cubes and add the boiling water so that it covers everything. Add 2tsp. vegetable broth and cover the cooking pot. Let everything cook for about 20 minutes till it has a kind of pulpy consistence (everything looks a bit slushy now). Now add salt ( I always use sea salt because it's more healthy!) and as much curry, thai curry and pepper as you want to.
If you like the flavor add everything in the mixer till the soup has it's pulpy consistence.
Today I saw I few commercials for valentines day and thought about all the single ladies there outside and about what they will do on this "special" day. But then I thought about if this day really is that special or just a good thing for commercials and marketing.
Because before valentines day we are bombarded with advertising and (special) offers but what has commercial to do with love? Well, not that much I guess.
And then I thought about all the single ladies and that it's not that bad to be "alone" at valentines day.
But at first let me say that there is nobody really alone because there are friends and family who love you more than you could imagine and love is not just all about a man on your side.
To be single has as many advantages as being in a relationship and even if you want to love and to be loved there are also a few points you don't have to deal with what means that there is no (relationship-) stress.
Sure valentines day means to be with your beloved, but love doesn't only mean the love to a man does it? So there are your gal pals, your beloved ones who cheer you up in any situations and in the most cases this is quite more precious than a man.
Valentines day might be great if there is a real prince by your side I think, but if not that doesn't mean the end of the world.
I think this day is a great excuse to give a party or maybe a sleepover for and with all your single gal pals, cook a great dinner, mix your favorite cocktails (virgin as well as with alcohol if your of a legal age!). You can play funny games together, talk about everything and watch great movies (the funny ones as well as the heartbreaking ones).
Even if I am in a very happy relationship and I will enjoy my valentines day with my boo, I wanted to give some ideas for a valentines day single-party-sleepover-thing. I hope you like it and have a great valentines day with your loved ones sweethearts.
Xo Deborah Chloe <3 favorite movies: 1) Pretty Woman
2) Dirty Dancing
3) Valentines Day
4) Lady and the Tramp - I really do love Disney and for that reason I have to mention one Disney movie that fits into that valentines day thing: Lady and the Tramp. <3
favorite dinner:
Because to cook with your friends is a lot of fun but every one has his own taste and his own favorite ingredients I love to make pizza with my friends. It's easy to "cook" and every one can surface his piece of pizza according to his own taste. <3
sweets and snacks:
If you decided to watch movies all night long it would be great and classic to make some popcorn.
But if you want to surprise your gal pals with some sweet cookies, give these chocolate cookie hearts a try.
Today me and my best friend visited a new tea-shop in town and I am OBSESSED with it. The interior is very lovely and every little detail seems to be perfect! You can order pasta, salad, cake and scones so there is a white range. It smells heavenly and both the tea and the pasta have been delicious.
Definitely my newest crush! :D
I only took a picture of my tea cup because I fell in love with their cups and pots but I will upload more pictures the next time!
yesterday my best friend showed me a recipe she wants to give a try and I am totally obsessed with it too! It's a non bakery Strawberry Icebox Cake and I don't even know how this will taste because it is made with crackers and at the same should taste sweet but I definitely will give it a try.
What about you? Will you give it a try too?

Hallo ihr Lieben, Jetzt da die Temperaturen auf dem Thermometer in die Tiefe krabbeln und sich die ersten Frostbeulen bemerkbar machen sind leckere warme (Herbst)- Gerichte ein Muss. Ich muss zugeben, dass ich mich in den vergangenen Wochen zu einem kleinen Jamie Oliver Fan gemausert habe. Das liegt wohl unter anderem daran, dass wir in der kalten und ungemütlichen Jahreszeit allgemein empfänglicher für Kochshows und warme Leckereien sind, allerdings überzeugen mich auch die Rezepte an sich! Die Rezepte für die süßen Naschereien habe ich beim Stöbern entdeckt. Hier ist mein ganz besonderer Favorit der Möhrenkuchen, dessen Rezept ich auf der Blogseite von Mary Mary Quite Contrary entdeckt habe. Ein Genuss für die süßen Schleckermäuler unter uns! :)
Ich hoffe ihr habt genauso viel Freude mit den Rezepten wie ich! Habt ihr auch Rezepte, die ihr speziell zur kalten Jahreszeit liebt, oder mit denen ihr euch die kälteren Tage versüßt? xo <3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey lovelies, Now when the temperatures are getting colder and the days are getting more rainy, warm and delicious recipes are the best way to get warm and to spend a grateful time with friends and family! Fall and winter are my favorite foodie times of the year because of the special in-season ingredients that come around this times of year. Today there are a few fall recipes that I want to show you because they're my favorites! I hope you enjoy it. What's your favorite fall recipe or ingredient? xo <3
