This is me :)

This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is me - Claudia. 
Here some facts about myself, but i promise to keep it short and sweet, so I don't bore you to death before you even know what this Blog is about - we wouldn't want that, would we?

Alright then, I am a full-time student at Walsh College in Troy, MI, majoring in Marketing. I am originally from Germany (you could probably tell by looking at my picture) but moved to the States about 3 years ago to be with my (now) husband. How we met is actually a pretty funny story (This is the part for the ladies;))


Any of you fellow Michiganders remember JD's Piano Bar in Pontiac? Yea - So, I took an USA vacation in 2011 with two of my good friends, and we stopped in Detroit for 4 days (because Detroit is obviously the #1 vacation spot) to visit a buddy there. This said buddy took us
to a sketchy Piano Bar in -(as I now call it) - the "city of love": PONTIAC. In this bar I got to know my husband Nico. The funny part: Nico lives about 10 miles away from me in Germany, but we never ever met there, nor have any mutual friends. Boy - it was just meant to be, it seems:)

Okay enough romance, now to the important topic: FOOD

I really do enjoy food - a lot! And I would like to use this Blog opportunity to share some of my favorite recipes with you every week. The reason I called this Blog "Gesund-ish" (Healthy-ish) is - of course, that I am German, and I needed to put some German influence in the blog's name, AND I really fell in love with the good ol' "ish". I have no idea what I would do without it?! I even use it when I am back in Germany, but it just confuses all of my friends...Time to cultivate those Germans some more ;)

Anyway, Food - I will try to post recipes that are rather on the healthy side (I enjoy baking using Stevia instead of sugar), but there will still be unhealthy - but tasty - things involved. After all we all know that the better it tastes, the worse it is for you ;) (e.g. my beloved Bacon...)

Another thing: I will include the German name of the dish, and teach you guys a new German phrase every week, so you can brush up on your German skills:) - You're welcome.

Without further ado - let's get started! I hope you guys like my blog and recipes! If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to tell me, and follow me on my other social media platforms!
