All my life, I dreamed of studying a country a week with my someday family. And wouldn’t you know it, God saw fit that our home would come with a huge world map on one of its walls!
So far we’ve studied Peru (Christopher’s 2018 mission trip), Burundi (my 2012 mission trip), and Papua New Guinea (trying out recipes for a friend who was preparing to host natives). Now it’s Switzerland week!😊 Switzerland is very special to Christopher & I because it was one of our honeymoon destinations - after our wedding in April 2019, we flew to Paris for a few days & then rode a train to the Swiss Alps.
And since we had some leftover chicken in the fridge along with a few mushrooms & a few sweet pepper slices & a few slices of Swiss cheese, I fixed a small batch of this cheesy chicken casserole for dinner the other night.
Little Bit loved helping with the French vanilla cake we made to use up a little of the huge bowl of coffee-flavored icing that was produced when I tried to make coffee whipped cream using only instant coffee instead of the necessary instant coffee crystals. Lol

And last but far, far, far from least - this Swiss Power Muesli was our favorite breakfast food served every day at our hotel near the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. Except, it wasn’t exactly this - but this is the closest we’ve come so far in our attempts to mimic that delightful dish! When I emailed the hotel staff to request the recipe, they were very sweet & generous with a list of the ingredients, lol.
Oat flakes, milk, sugar, yogurt natural (kefir?), apricot jam, grated apples, grated pears, pressed orange, pressed lemon, orange estates (bio - ie, orange peel), and lemon estates (bio - is, lemon peel).
Like, okay great! What do I do with that?
Then I found some kind of actual recipe (https://www.facebook.com/toscareno/videos/148703419867151/), but the resulting concoction was just incorrect when we first tried it yesterday morning - it was too thick as well as hardly sweet enough or fruity enough. But when Christopher added a little grape jelly and a little honey this morning, that made it much closer.
I’ll keep working on it! Maybe next time we can get even closer by combining the two “recipes.” 😉
