We love to create, we love food, we love to share. So here it is, all in one place. Come on in and enjoy!
The Webers - Pia, Sarah, Thomas, Adam and Christoph

Cinnamon stars

Another of those yummy Christmas cookies we bake in Switzerland. This cookie contains mostly almonds and has no flour in it. A very good gluten-free choice.
Enjoy making and eating them.

Even though California voters decided that they don't want labeling of food sourced from genetically modified organisms, you can still tell. Just learn the codes on the standard produce stickers and choose wisely.

A 5 digit code starting with 8 is GMO food - avoid. A 4 digit code is conventionally grown produce - keep moving. A 5 digit code starting with 9 is organic produce - bingo! It's as easy as that. I may just learn to love those stickers after all. (I have a long standing hatred of stickers on food and in my compost.)

Chräbeli, Anise cookies

Traditional Swiss Chraebeli christmas cookies

This is another traditional Christmas cookie we love.

Summer Garden Bounty

Pia is so psyched that this year we get a real bounty of summer squash from our own garden. For some reason this never worked well for us in previous years, even though summer squashes are supposedly very easy to grow. Regardless, it is such a pleasure to harvest today's dinner in your own garden and eat it as fresh as can be. Tomorrow there will be more, and the day after even more. Come for dinner!

Fajita Marinade

A delicious lime juice based fajita marinade.

Artisan Bread

Delicious artisan bread with very minimal effort. (Just takes time!)
Eat it for breakfast, use it for sandwiches, fashion it into an appetizer, or serve it alongside a soup for dinner.

Vegan/Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

Potatoes, black beans, and corn add substance to this vegan/vegetarian tortilla soup to make it healthy, filling and absolutely delicious. I promise that no one will miss the chicken that is customarily put into tortilla soup. And, if you have any leftovers, the soup is just as good then next day, as long as you make sure to bake up some fresh tortilla strips.

Why "Living with the Webers"?

Many visitors to our house ask "How did you cook this?", or "How do you make those?". Some come in and first scan the place for new displays or differently placed items. And some have said they need to move in to stay on top of what we do and learn how it's done. We absolutely love to share, and we love visitors, but we draw the line at moving in.

However, you can virtually live with us by coming back here every now and then. Try out a few ideas, copy and extend recipes, print out what you want, share with friends, just be inspired, subscribe to the RSS feed, whatever rocks your boat. Be sure to leave comments to let us know what you think.
