We first had spätzle in Germany, which probably surprises no one, and we quickly fell in love with it. It’s a very simple recipe that provides you with pillow soft egg noodles. You can make these with a Spätzlehobel (spätzle maker) OR you can push the dough through colander or you can try your hand at cutting them on the edge of a board which looked like all together too much work. Yeah the maker is a mono-tasker but for $5 it was worth it for me.
This weekend is the cider festival! I’m pretty excited about it, especially because I had to miss last years event. On Sunday we’re going to the Seattle Craft Uprising as well, which is at the Space Needle. We’ll probably walk over to get all our weekend exercise in one go 🙂

I love Oyakodon and Yakisoba so for this dish I decided to combined the best of both worlds and then top it with a perfect little fried egg hat. The dish is definitely one best saved for a special occasion thanks to a considerable amount of work but it not fail to impress any guest.
Who doesn’t love funfetti!? Basically a funfetti cake is just white cake in which you dumped a bunched of sprinkles (aka colorful sugar) in to. It really only make the cake better! This is one I did for Gravity Falls party hence the colorful buttercream and fondant designed but you can do whatever you like on top.

I love nachos. I don’t think I’ve perfected the nacho making technique and actually wish I had halved this recipe (it made way too many nachos and if you’ve ever just had a giant plate of nachos…you just keep going) but this made for a delicious and satisfying nacho-like experience with minimal time or effort.
Cacio e Pepe is literally cheese and pepper and that’s all that’s in this. It’s hard to tell from the picture but basically you use a bit of the pasta water to melt the cheese in to a sauce that coats the pasta. This absolutely simple and stunning dish is the perfect crowd pleaser that involves little work. Simply perfect.
I keep skipping weeks but somehow we’ll live I guess. I need to queue up more recipes too I guess I’ve been slacking on that as I ramp up other things in my life so what else is new? We’re going to an ice cream festival tomorrow so I’m not sure how that will affect dinner 🙂
