Sweet Potato Crust "Pizza" Recipe

Sweet Potato Crust "Pizza" Recipe

A few weeks ago Andrew mentioned something like "maybe we should add some different recipes into the mix?" ... at first - I was offended. "you DON't want kale salad at all meals?!" Then... I realized, maybe he's right. Challenge accepted. 

So I got researching. My coworker & fellow 'health food fanatic' shared this link with me: "Healthy recipes for the month of February". And I was in love, so many interesting different recipes to try. 

Its easy to fall into the routine of making the same easy dinners that you know you love over and over when you come home from work. So I challenged myself to try at least one new recipe each week. First, we are starting with a Sweet Potato Crust Pizza.

Weekend in Amsterdam | airbnb, bikes & the foodhallen

Taking advantage of a layover from Nuremberg to New York back in June, we took a long weekend in Amsterdam. On our first day our adventures included settling into our Airbnb apartment, attempting to ride bikes like the locals, and doing a food tasting through the Foodhallen.

Phi Phi Island, Thailand: What to do when your 4 days in a tropical paradise turn to 4 days of torrential downpour

The last four days on our Thailand & Cambodian holiday was meant to be spent drinking pina coladas, swimming in the ocean, all while lathering on sunscreen to make sure we wouldn't get sun burnt. Well, the weather had different plans for us. Here is how we spent our four days on a tropical island in a consistent downpour of rain. 

Our Must Haves List: Things we import from America

Our Must Haves List: Things we import from America

Andrew and I have been living in Germany for just about two years. And within those two years we have almost mastered the grocery shopping.

Can't find the cinnamon? Look for zimt. It's April and you're craving Kale? Be patient, it'll be back in 6 months. Need Patron Tequila? Pick it up the next time you're going through the airport dutyfree shop. 

But there are just some things... that you'd rather buy from the comfort of a Target, stop & shop or Trader Joes. (or it is just 1/4 the price to buy it in the US).

The Romantischer Weihnachtsmarkt (Romantic Christmas Market) in Regensburg, Germany

The Romantischer Weihnachtsmarkt (Romantic Christmas Market) in Regensburg, Germany

Wanting to explore Christmas markets outside of our hometown & very popular Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt, we drove 1 hour to Regensburg and their Romantischer Weihnachtsmarkt. The pine-roofed stalls with homemade gifts were wrapped around the palace as well as inside the courtyard. With all of the quaint Christmas charm & open fires to stay warm, this became our favorite Christmas market.
