Peanut butter fingers, vegan cravings and a never-ending book wishlist. {Ten On Tuesday}

Hallo meine Lieben,

happy Tuesday! You can link up on my friend Alyssa's blog here.



1. The Fussball match yesterday was more than nerve-wracking. I thought Germany would lose but thankfully they have the best goalkeeper and some good luck. 

2. Have you seen my guest post on Sara's blog?

3. I like peanut butter fingers (I do use a spoon though. Boring, I know.). I have to think of Joey every time I eat peanut butter. 




4.  Have I ever mentioned that I am totally addicted to vegan dark chocolate peanut butter. That stuff is addictive. The thing is that I never really cared for peanut butter before I moved to America...but now I rarely bake without peanut butter. And I also use it for cooking. It's so versatile. I really love to eat.

5. I also never cared for marshmallows before I went vegan. But now I could eat them every single day. It's weird but I do like the vegan versions of things I never ate before in their "regular" version (tuna, shrimp, steak...). 

6. Which is the best book you have read this year? I am working on my never-ending book wishlist and I really want it to be never-ending. I finally need to read the Simon Beckett crime novels. Don't know why I never checked them out before. Well, I do know. Lack of time I guess. 


Pretty much. But you have to add animals.

7. I rescued a blind worm from a busy road today. You can see a picture of Ella (that's her name) on Instagram.

8. Jennifer Love Hewitt is a new cast member of Criminal Minds? Are you kidding me? I don't want that. 

9. Is it weird that I don't want to eat crackers just because they are bunny shaped? I guess it is weird....I am sure they are delicious and they are definitely vegan...but still. 

10. Saltwater fish drink water but freshwater fish don't. 


Have a very happy week!

  2. Jennifer Love Hewitt is on Criminal Minds now. I need to start watching it again lol. I've always like her. And congrats on Germany's win. I'm still a little heartbroken over the US loss yesterday to Belgium. We were SO CLOSE.

    1. Haha, it seems like every guy likes Jennifer Love Hewitt and girls...not so much. I think she is incredibly boring so I would prefer another cast member but what will you do. I hope they will kill her character off as soon as possible. Haha. Mean.
      I am so sorry that the US lost...I wanted them to win and then lose against Germany in the finale! :))
      Have a great trip, my friend!

  4. Can you believe I haven't tried the dark chocolate peanut butter yet?! I did get the Reeses-style cups from a company called Justin's, the dark chocolate ones are vegan. Sooooo good!

    I don't like eating animal-shaped things either. I always thought I was weird but at least I'm not alone!

      I am so relieved that you don't like eating animal shaped things either! I always feel so bad about it!

  5. Vegan SHRIMP? Sorry, but that just sounds odd to me :-/

    I bite the heads of gummi bears so they die instantly and don't feel as much pain. I would probably do the same with the bunnies.

    1. Haha yeah, it definitely sounds odd. As I said, I never cared for shrimp before but the vegan ones are really tasty. I have no idea if they taste like the meaty ones though.

      I totally do the same with the gummi bears. Haha. I always feel so bad about it so I try to only eat gummi bears in other shapes. :)

  6. I love peanut butter too! I'll have to try some of that dark chocolate peanut butter. I've never had vegan marshmallows, though. What brand do you like? Have you ever read the Poisonwood Bible? I forget the author, but it's good. It's older, but I just read it this year. Super interesting!!

    1. The dark chocolate peanut butter is soooo good! The company is called Peanut Butter & Co and they also have peanut butter with cinnamon and many other types! The marshmallow company is called "Dandies". Soooo good! I have to look up the book, I have never heard about it before ! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

  7. I totally have peanut butter fingers, but peanut butter is such an odd thing for me. I have to be in the mood or else it's completely UGH. I've read a TON this summer so far. Looking for anything in particular?

    1. I am not always in the mood for peanut butter either but when I am then I can eat a lot. Especially the dark chocolate one. I made a cake with peanut butter yesterday, so good! No, i am not really looking for anything in particular. I am in the mood for something funny or something suspenseful. :)

  8. I’m rooting for Germany and Belgium…but I do hope Germany wins! The good news is I’m flying Lufthansa this weekend and I hope they have some interesting German amenity kit (knowing some may not be vegan, but I’m curious to know what they carry) and will they include a soccer-theme pack? I love peanut butter in dark chocolate, so delicious!
