Its early August but feels like mid-September. Nights are hot but I wake up to rain on my window sill. The sky is gray in a way that every German is long used to, and the air smells of petrichor and earth. I´ve been taking my time every day to cook myself a big breakfast, usually savory. Today I made an exception: I made quinoa milk pudding and it was warm, delicious, and satisfying. It´s simple to make, and here´s the lil recipe! I´ve cooked with quinoa before, it´s a simple rice replacement and cooked just as easily. One part quinoa, two parts liquid. For savory dishes, that liquid would…

19419 / WHAT I EAT IN A DAY
I hope your day was amazing, productive, and relaxing! Don´t worry if it´wasn´t, it´s okay to take a break sometimes. Just don´t get stuck in them! For today´s post I thought I´d show you what I ate to nourish and love my body today. I don´t always eat perfectly healthy, or make my food look pretty, but I do it pretty often and maybe this will inspire you to do the same. Some days I just eat whatever I want. I had a huge bowl of pasta at, like, midnight on Tuesday. It´s all about balance! It´s easier to give in to a craving (we all have them, sweet or…

In realtiy, it´s not that hard to live a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy, fresh food is good for your body. It gives you the…

WHERE TO EAT IN CASCAIS: PAUL BAKERY
It was rainy and cold, and we clung on to our small umbrella as we walked through the slick streets of Cascais after a lunch at one of those tourist restaurants; menus in several languages, waiters annoyed and always preoccupied, food not the best, when we stumbled upon this bakery. Immediately it´s warm glow drove us in and we entered through the doors, welomed by the warm scent of pastries, baked goods, and macarons. Christina and I both chose a large macraon each, chocolate and pistachio. They tasted like a well-deserved hug back in our hotel room. The next day, we went back after breakfast to buy another chocolate macaron…

Los Angeles & San Francisco Travel Diary/Photography
LA & SF Traveldiary + Photography LA & SF Traveldiary/Photography About a week ago (week ago week ago) me and my dad went on a trip to LA and San Francisco. We landed at LAX and stayed in Costa Mesa for two days, spending most of our time discovering LA, though. The hour long commute through all kinds of traffic jams was totally worth it! Finding out that LA does not, in fact, have a the traditional downtown thing going on, I loved walking (and drving, lots of driving) around and finding cool places to eat and people watch (one of my favorite past-times on vacation). San Francisco,…
