Bratwurst & cabbage pasta

I hope everyone had an amazing and warm Christmas with their family or people they love. I must admit I had one of the best ones yet. I spent my Christmas in Budapest, first time away from home, and even though I missed some of the traditional dishes I’d usually have prepared at home, I had the chance to experience Christmas in Budapest as a local. This was the last trip I went on this year, a week earlier I was in Bratislava and had an amazing time as well, which I’ll be writing about in one of my next posts. Just a few days away from the New Year, I’m already thinking which destination I’m going to visit next!

As I returned from Budapest I realized it’s time to get back to my blog, and it’s time for one of my recipes. While in Budapest I didn’t have all of the spices I usually have at home, so I had to stick to the basics, this is just one of the recipes that showcases the basics I’m talking about and shows how with a few ingredients and in no time you can have a delicious dinner. Hope you enjoy and stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing new recipes and travel experiences!
