Swiss G’hacktes mit Hörnli {macaroni with meat sauce}

I decided to give up on downhill skiing. It’s an expensive sport to keep trying to enjoy and I just don’t think I will ever get there. The process alone of putting on the uncomfortable boots and carrying the skis to the lift starts the day off all wrong for me. For most people, getting […]
One Pan Chicken Tikka Masala {dairy-free, paleo}

The problem with going out to dinner in Zürich is that it way too expensive to […]
Black Bean Chili

There is recent talk that the weather in Zurich is about to get depressing. So much talk that girls I’ve met here are planning to buy a sunlight lamp this winter to boost their moods. Have you heard of these sunlight lamps? I guess they simulate the sunlight and give you the vitamin D you […]
