Stoos | Switzerland

Everyone knows that Switzerland is a beautiful country and I want to confirm that. Of late I went to the canton of Schwyz and went up to Stoos which is a little town up in the mountains. It's known for skiing and it is in a famous folk song.

Here's their homepage: Stoos-Muotatal

That day I took the train to Brunnen and then the bus up to Morschach. From Morschach there's a cable car you can take which heads up to Stoos, a beautiful little village. Stoos is car-free and it's at 1300 meters above sea level. It's known for skiing and hiking. From there you can take a chairlift up to the Fronalpstock which is 1922 meters above sea level.

When your up there you see how amazing Switzerlands nature and mountains are.

Just look at it...

Rainbow Cupcakes

It's cheat day. Once in a while you need to treat yourself with some sugar...yeah I know it not that healthy but for now it alright :)

Today I want to show you how I made these delicious cupcakes. I used a recipe from pinterest. At the end of the blogpost theres a link to the recipe. The icing I made myself but I used the rest of the recipe.

Here's what you need:

1 cup butter, softened

2 1/3 cups sugar

5 egg whites

1 tablespoon vanilla

3 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups milk

food colouring 

400g cream cheese

200g powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla

When your done with your batter divide it in six bowls and mix it with the food colouring in all of the different colours of the rainbow. After you've done that just stack the colours on top of each other like this:

Bake the cupcakes for 20 minutes at 170° C and let them cool down. 

To make the icing just mix all the ingredients (cream cheese, powdered sugar & vanilla) together and put it in a piping bag. Pipe the icing on top of the cupcakes. You can also just put it on top with a spoon. That would work too. I spread the icing with a knife. For the final touch I added some rainbow sprinkles. I thought it might look nicer like this than just plane white. 

A few tips:

• use vibrant colours
• use white cupcake liners so you can see the actual colours just by looking at them
• let the cupcakes fully cool before you put the icing on top

roasted chickpeas with honey

A lot of people like sweet and savory snacks and I do too. So today I thought of a recipe for chickpeas.

All you need is...

...250g chickpeas
...1/8 cups of honey
...thyme, garlic powder & paprika (you can choose your spices how you want)

Take the chickpeas and let them soak in water overnight. If you want everything to go faster you could buy chickpeas in a can. After that you just mix all the spices and the honey with the chickpeas. Roast the them in the oven with 200 degrees celsius for about 15-20 minutes.

After all this process you can enjoy amazing chickpeas.
