My Morning: Diana from exPress-o On Morning Routines

November 3, 2015 by Deniz Leave a Comment

Sometimes I’m left overwhelmed by the sheer number of interesting articles, new blogs and cool products out there. What is the key to keep up with all of this? And how to decide, what is actually worth my time?
Making that choice becomes easy, when you follow one of those talented bloggers crawling the web for you, handing you their best finds on a silver platter. But not every curator is as adept in the high art of selecting content as Diana at exPresso. With each of her mails delivered straight to my inbox she draws me into a new world time after time. Ever since subscribing to her regular updates there has rarely a post I didn’t read!

Lucky me, I was invited to tell my own story on Diana’s blog, as part of her inspiring interview series Food For Thought. With the help of other food bloggers she paved the way for a reflective discussion on different ways of eating healthy. Ashley spoke about her holistic approach, Sherrie introduced us to her gluten-free diet and Drea explained, what it feels like to be vegan. And you can probably guess what I talked about! 😉
Today it’s Diana’s turn and I couldn’t be happier to have her drop in at my virtual breakfast table. Get inspired by her way of staying on top of things and how she manages to take good care of herself, while moving between different time zones! …

My Morning: Lieschen Is Getting Married

September 15, 2015 by Deniz 6 Comments

“Have you seen those gorgeous ‘save the date’ invitations? Oh, I just love the glittery confetti! And those flowers!”

Don’t worry. I haven’t switched my line of work. I’m just having a look around. Food bloggers do marvel at other things than food from time to time. Who wouldn’t, considering these stunning wedding ideas over at
Lieschen-heiratet.de . The genius behind? Lieschen aka Susanne Rademacher, communications consultant and book author by trade and at heart, as well as Germany’s undisputed wedding blogger queen.

All these successful projects of hers surely require a lot of energy, thus making Susanne the perfect candidate to interview for my series on morning routines. I’m extremely happy she agreed to share her personal tips on how to start the day in a relaxed manner with us! Don’t miss out on that bonus question at the end! Enjoy! …

My Morning: Friendly Little Kitchen and her classic Spelt Pancakes

July 21, 2015 by Deniz 1 Comment

This interview took place as part of the “My Morning” interview series.

When I reflect on my first baby steps into the FODMAP free diet about two years ago, there is one lovely lady who played a major role throughout my field trip: Steph Papillo from Friendly Little Kitchen. Steph was my first real blog-pal, my guide through the crazy FODMAP jungle, always there to help out. With her delicious recipes and dreamy pictures this curly beauty from Melbourne continues to show how easy a wheat free and fructose friendly diet can be on a daily basis. Full of wit, her Instagram stream is not only an endless source of inspiration, but of sunshine as well! …

My Morning: The Whitest Cake Alive

June 27, 2015 by Deniz 3 Comments

Among German food bloggers there are common word jugglers and downright stars such as today’s guest and main attraction of the “Croation-Swabian State Circus”. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage: The Whitest Cake Alive! Sonja’s exceptionally honest and entertaining posts, her stunning recipes including this strawberry-rose petal-pistachio-cake as well as her being fructose intolerant to top it off, makes it all the more easy to instantly become a huge fan of hers. Good morning Sonja, let’s get this day off to the right start! …

My Morning: The Fructose Friendly Chef + Homemade Granola

April 21, 2015 by Deniz 3 Comments

Lately nothing has fascinated me more than the art of starting the day in beautiful and productive style. Everybody seems to have his or her own way of claiming the day’s first sunbeams. Seeing as the morning hours hold such a precious place in my heart, I thought it might be time to find out how other talented bloggers and bloggerettes start their day and thus created this interview series. So instead of asking „How was your night?“, from now on I’ll rather be asking „How was your morning?“.

After a beautiful prelude to this series with earlybird Steffi, I should probably warn you ahead of today’s interview: If you too are a child of the sun, you might find yourself packing your bags for Australia right after finishing this read! Why? Because today’s guest, the fructose friendly chef Melissa, wakes up where koalas and kangaroos kiss each other good night, while being surounded by cafés sure to make your food sensitive heart leap for joy. Morning walks on the beach in dreamy light and an enviably healthy tan on Melissa’s face: If being a morning grouch looks like this, I’ll take an extra large serving! But see and read for yourselves…

My morning: Healthy Happy Steffi

April 1, 2015 by Deniz 9 Comments

Morning journal, meditation, oil pulling, breakfast recipes: Lately nothing fascinates me more than the art of starting the day in beautiful and productive fashion. The possibilities are endless. It begins with the multiple candidates for first drink of the day, be it hot lemon water, bulletproof coffee or fresh rosemary tea (insider tip if you are always freezing!). Breakfast yes or no? Some yoga sun salutations or straight to work? Everybody has their own way of claiming the day’s first sunbeams.

Seeing as the morning hours hold such a precious place in my heart, I thought it might be time to find out how other talented bloggers and bloggerettes start their day. And so the idea for my new morning interview series on FRUCTOPIA was born! So instead of asking „How was your night?“, from now on I’ll rather be asking „How was your morning?“

To break ground I’d like to introduce you to a very healthy and happy lady: Please meet Steffi, fellow blogger from healthyhappysteffi.com and freshly graduated nutritionist. Browsing through her blog assures me that she will breathe new life into the antiquated work of nutritionists in Germany. Not only, does she have first-hand knowledge when it comes to food intolerances, having successfully eliminated dairy, gluten and sugar from her diet, but she still manages to create delicious recipes (make sure to check out her Instagram profile!). Basically she breaks down hard to digest knowledge about food into fun little readable and edible bites. Great stuff! Now let’s give a warm welcome to Steffi!
