It's snack time! (DIY kale chips)

Yesterday I went quickly into the Mark's and Spencer store as I needed something right after work.
I passed by the salad and vegetable aisle and I spotted packages of kale.
During the last weeks I've heard so much about kale and I know that it is very, very healthy. Unfortunately I don't really like it in a salad but I've seen that a lot of people use kale as an alternative to potatoe chips. So I decided to give it a try and started my little expermiment last night.

What you need: - Olive Oil
                          - Vinegar
                          - Sea salt

I put a certain amount of kale into a bowl, add 3 table spoons of Olive Oil, a little bit of vinegar and sea salt and mix it with a spoon.

Afterwads you take a baking tin and place the kale on it. On my pictures you can see that I didn't have baking paper at home, but if you wash the tin very well afterwards, it shouldn't be a problem.

Then you place the tin into your oven which you've preheated on 170 degrees and leave it in there for 10 minutes. After ten minutes you should have a look on your chips and their colour.
It's absolutely normal that they're a bit brown but they shouldn't be black.

When you think they look good, take them out of the oven and they're ready to be consumed.

It's such an easy recipe and I love it. It tastes so good and is a perfect healthy snack. You can use different herbs to create many different sorts of kale chips.

My ingredients!

Voilà the preroasted kale

Delicious Salmon-Potato rolls ♥

Hello my dearest! :)

Yesterday my mum and I have made some very delicious salmon-potato rolls for lunch. It's been a long time that I had it for the last time and I must have forgotten how amazing they are haha.
I just wanted to share this yummy recipe with you and hope you try it and of course like it :).

Much love xoxo

What you need: 


First step: Pay attention that the mashed potatoes are still cold from the fridge. Then add two eggs and a little bit less than half a parmesan cheese into the bowl. Season it with salt, pepper and some nutmeg. (Please do not to much season it, as the mashed potatoes are still seasoned.

Second step: Add the fine breadcrumbs and some flour and knead it all gently with your fingers. 
When the mixture has a good consistance (you want to flatten it) take it out of the bowl and on your floured work surface. 

Third step: Now flatten it also very gently with your rolling pin. When this step is also done, the salmon is going to have his appearance ;). Take the slices and add them on the flattened dough. Also add some more of the parmesan cheese. (Now it looks like a weird salmon cheese pizza ;) )

Fourth step: Now roll it to a big "sausage". If the dough's still too wet there can be some problems but just mend the holes with the dough and add some flour. When this step's done you can take a knife and cut it in sclices which should have a width of 3 cm. (I'm sorry if you don't calculate with cm, m, etc.)
Now you can put them into a pan and cook them until they have a nice, crispy looking, goldbrown colour. 

Tip: You can have this lunch with red cabbage and crème fraîche like I did. This tastes amazing!

Voila that would be my recipe and I really hope you liked it! 

This is an amount for 4-5 people :)
