Feta Cheese Dip

To skip some calories in the evening and to stop snacking on sweets I tried to grab some carrots and turnip cabbage with a dip.
I remembered a nice dip a sweet friend of mine brought with her to my birthday party. This Feta Cheese Dip is very easy and tastes delicious.
 
As I would like to participate at Simone’s picture challenge for this month at Jungle Frog Cooking about drinks or food in a glass, I thought I compose a pretty picture and share the recipe with you.

200g Feta cheese
100g crème fraiche
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper
I throw everything in my food processor and chop it and mix it and here you are. Because of the garlic in it, you should share it with your loved one as the smell can be very intense.

Photography and Styling Challenge October @ Junglefrog Cooking

 

Today I came across a photography and styling challenge over at Simone’s blog Junglefrog Cooking and decided to take part. The challenge for the month October is about a pumpkin orange fall setting including of course homemade food.

Luckily pumpkins could be substituted by carrots ( or any other orange food) so it fitted in today’s meal schedule. I cooked a Carrot Potatoes Hotpot with cooked sausage ( Kochwurst in German, hope the translation makes sense to you?).

At least I had some decorative pumpkins and leftover fabric leafs from yesterdays DIY around that jumped in to improve the fall setting mood.

It’s fairly easy to cook and the perfect fall meal when it get’s cold outside.

The hubs felt cold all day at work and was very pleased that his little domestic goddess had a steamy meal ready for him…*cough cough* after taking a few pictures of it of course.

This is what you need for 2-3 big portions:

• about 250g carrots
• 3-4 big potatoes
• 3 cooked sausages
• cooking pot half full with water with about 1 1/2 tsp instant broth ( I know ‘real’ broth is much better, but I took what was in my pantry)
• pinch of salt and pepper

This was one of the go tos when my mom had no clue what to cook. Funnily it was sometimes just named potato stew or carrot hotpot even if it was the same all the time. Great childhood memories and it feels like home when I do this dish.

So happy cooking ladies and have a great week.
