Bratkartoffeln (fried potatoes) it’s like a staple in German cuisine. They’re hardly ever served for breakfast, but they frequently appear as lunch or dinner (side) dishes. It’s easy (and quick) to make Bratkartoffeln from leftover boiled potatoes, but what if you don’t have leftovers and want to make them from raw potatoes? It’s possible, but…
As always, I want to document and share a little bit about the time I spent at home – my other home, haha! – with my family in April. It’s always such a precious, intense time for me and it usually takes a bit to ‘digest’ and come down from my emotional high when I…
TRAVELING | overseas to see my family. Always juggling two passports, which, however, makes the immigration process in each country such a breeze.

I can’t believe it’s been over six weeks since I returned from my visit back home with my family. Time just won’t slow down and but I am finally getting around to posting a little recap. My trip home was short and sweet and on very short notice. I didn’t even announce it here on the…

If you’ve been around these parts a little longer (or have carefully read my short bio in the sidebar), you might know that I hold dual citizenship. It’s a privilege that I don’t take for granted.
