WHB #114: Spiced chickpeas with halloumi


The 114th edition of Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 ** is hosted by the inventor of this great event herself: Kalyn from Kalyn’s Kitchen. I have to admit that I passed the last 10 rounds, first I renovated the kitchen and then I had some problems. But a New Year and a new post from my new kitchen. In Northern Germany it’s grey, cold and damp and I desired for some vitamins in a winter salad. I didn’t follow the recipe below. I used 3 fresh bell peppers, roasted them under the grill and removed the skin.

This week we celebrate the two year anniversary 27.04.2021 ** of Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 ** with part two of the The Doubly Delicious Two Year Celebration. 27.04.2021 ** Bloggers are invited to post any recipe with at least one vegetable and one herb for this special WHB event. I began to blog about herbs since the 20th edition of WHB 27.04.2021 ** and I still have fun. Last year I featured parsley as my favourite herb in combination with potatoes. This year I had a “little” problem with my herbs in the garden, but the thyme survived all attacks. Normally I would combine carrots – the one and only vegetable all members of the family love- with parsley, but than I found the recipe for

A great and delicious combination. My sons were impressed, so was I.

WHB # 103: Basil and Parsley on the windowsill

The 103rd edition of Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 **, is hosted by Haalo from Cook (almost) Anything At Least Once. Next week is the Doubly Delicious Two Year Anniversary of Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 **: Food Bloggers should submit a recipe featuring least one vegetable and one herb. I think I have to pass this, because my kitchen looks a mess. The deadline for the kitchen renovation comes nearer. My husband installed new power outlets near the kitchen table and removed the doorframe. The children and I took off the base boards, doorsteps and the wallpapers. During the next week we empty the closets and try to store all, including the electrical equipment anywhere in the house. Only the basil and parsley stay on the windowsill.

Return to Haalo on Monday for the round-up.
