Eat with Steff

  It all began in the winter time. I was sitting comfortably on my bed and I was writing a list of winter veggies and fruits, that I wanted to include on my diet, but also make a Youtube video about it.  I‘m someone who‘ll always consider something seasonal first. I decided to take the red cabbage as a main ingredient and then form a recipe around it. So after a bit of brain storming and one semi-failed recipe, I came up with a risotto recipe, that I‘d like to have not only during the winter. That meant it was a success and also, who doesn’t love a bowl of comfort food. I‘ve been having it on the chillier days of April. Here is the recipe video on my Youtube channel, if you would like a video format. VIDEO Let’s get into the recipe.. The ingredients you‘ll need: 1 cup of rice 1/4 cup pine nuts 1/4 cup sultanas 1 cup of cabbage  1/2 an onion  1 garlic clove 1/4 cup of white wine 2 tbsp of double cream 1 tbsp of sesame oil  700-800ml of beef broth (you may use oth...

  Ok, let’s face it. Besides all the other things, quarantine came with some homemade sourdough bread and many banana breads, which compared to the first one, banana bread is way easier and faster to make.  It was around that time, that I wanted some added sweetness to my life to cheer me up and decided to follow up with the „banana bread trend“, except I aimed for some muffins instead. Banana bread chocolate chip muffins to be exact. So much procrastination went into finally getting myself to write this recipe, but now is the perfect time to reintroduce you to muffins in my opinion. Most of you are going back to school, uni or work and to be honest, a muffin and a cup of coffee or tea and maybe some fruit on the side is one of the best „to go“ breakfasts I can think of. Before I get into the recipe, I wanted to say, that I‘ve simplified everything to the point, where you need only a fork, two bowls and an oven to make these muffins. Of course using a whisk, a silicone spatula...

We are going to talk “ENERGY BARS” this time. As a student, that has some pretty busy days, I’ve found making something dense in calories to keep you going for a couple of hours, while being healthy as well, is the way to go. Energy bars usually consist of 4 important parts: the fibre+ carbs, the sweetener, the fats and the flavor we want to end up with. Depending on this formula, you can say that energy bars/ balls are very versatile. I’ve posted some versions before on my instagram @eatwithsteff , but today we’re going through another easy combo. Main ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of homemade cinnamon granola   3 tbsp of peanut butter  22 dates (about 1 cup) Optional ingredients to spice it up: [vegan or not] white chocolate (about 70 grams) freeze dried raspberries (just a couple of them) Preparation: 1.You start by soaking the dates in water at least 4 hours. I let them soak overnight. 2.Blend the dates, then add the peanut butter and blend again. ...

The winter special recipe for 2019 is finally  here and with this post I’d like to send as much love as possible to every single one of you. It’s not something too fancy or with a longer list of ingredients than the Santa’s, but the reason it’s earned the “winter special” label are the wintery ingredients it has. When I think of winter, many festive dishes come to my mind, but a couple simple things still stand out and those are: chestnuts, wine or any kind of liqueur, berries, chocolate & cookies. So I thought of some wintery truffles you can make with all of them. I tried many variations till I found the perfect combo. This is why it has taken me more than one month to finally love the recipe and to see it as share-worthy. Whether you make it for Christmas or New Year’s Eve or even as a gift for whatever occasion this cold season, you choose, it will be the easiest treat you’ve ever made and I’m sure it will become one of your favorites too. Ingredients: 2...

Halloween is nearly here and I wanted to come this year with two recipe ideas. This one, that I‘m going to share tonight is the savory one. I was thinking a lot before I came up with this idea and to be honest spiders are going to be all over the halloween snacks, so the next best thing was a snake. A cheesy, doughy, saucy snake.. So I went, tried it and it came out definitely delicious. Now before we get started I have to make it clear that we are making 2 parts of dough, one part normal and one part with some kind of color to make it more interesting. *!! This doesn’t mean the color  will show up on top, whatever you use, whether it’s charcoal, spirulina or food coloring, it will still have the „doughy hue“ on top. The inside will be pretty though. !!* So let’s get into it—> Ingredients: For the dough: -4 cups of flour (divided) -1 cup of milk (divided) -1/3 cup of red cabbage water -8gr of active yeast -4 egg yolks  -1/2 cup of sunflower oil...
