Youth Coaching
Dear Parents!
Youth Coaching could make all the difference to a young person’s life!
Coaching is known as the most effective tool in personell development. My passion is to make coaching easily accessible for teenagers and young adults. They are in a very decisive phase of their life and can profit highly from a professional coaching.
In my youth coachings I apply effective, proven methods from the worlds of business and sports, tailoring them individually to the lives of young people. The basis for my coaching offer is my training with the Youth Coaching Academy (UK), my extensive experience with young people and my love and respect for them.
Interested?!

Saskia's Welcome
Welcome to the IWC Mother's Corner Blog! We have been really behind the times, relying on the Yahoo Group for all of our communication needs. While it works fine as a listserv, its website leaves a lot to be desired, and for that reason I'm going to try and move us over to this blog. At the moment, it's not password-protected because I want to just try it out the easy way and see what kind of reception it gets. Please comment and let me know what you think. The advantage of a blog is that posts can be "labeled", which allows them to be sorted. An index will be automatically created, so information can be easily found. For example, if someone posts about a gynecologist they like/don't like, the post will be labeled "doctors". By clicking on the "doctors" link, the blog engine will automatically bring up all posts with that label.
Anyone in the MC will be able to post directly to the blog, or you can send your posts to me. Posts can contain information or just thoughts for reflection. They can also contain questions, and other MC members can comment and give answers.
Please let me know your thoughts!
I'll be posting some actual information soon :)
Saskia,
MC Coordinator

Avocado Salad with Tomatoes and Lime
For the rice wine vinegar, I go to the Chinese store at Ostbahnhof. They have a bunch of great Asian food ingredients as well as condensced milk, which I use to make pumpkin pie/bread. Another recipe I can provide in the Fall as I have a homemade recipe that is really tasty too.....
Note: 1c is roughly 100 grams...so I just guestimate my conversions, and use my cookbook for oven temps...

1/4 cup(s) fresh lime juice
2 tablespoon(s) rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon(s) honey
1 tablespoon(s) cumin seeds, lightly toasted in skillet

1/4 cup(s) chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
For the vinaigrette, whisk together the lime juice, vinegar, honey, cumin seeds and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oils until emulsified. (Do not use a blender for this.) Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Gently mix the tomatoes, avocados, onion, arugula and half of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Check for seasoning and add more dressing, if needed. Sprinkle the ground cumin and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro over the top and serve immediately.

Directions
Prepare toasted pine nut-flavored couscous as label directs.
Meanwhile, combine chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, cup chopped dried fruit (any kind, or a mix of fruits) and chopped jarred roasted red pepper in a large serving bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice and chopped fresh mint; mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Nutella Kuchen (Chocolate, Sour Cream Cake
I got [this recipe] from a German friend and just made it...it is really good...not sweet but rich.
I translated it to German and added my own information from my experience.
NUTELLA KUCHEN (CHOCOLATE, SOUR CREAM CAKE)
6 Eier/eggs
200 g Zucker (plain white sugar)
200 g Butter - room temperature ( or Rama butter substitute)
1 Päckchen Vanillezucker (vanilla or vanillen sugar sold in individual envelopes)
255 g Mehl (white 550 Flour)
1 Päckchen Backpulver (baking powder that is sold in individual envelopes)
200g Schmand/a 24% fat sour cream dairy product (for a less caloric/less dense cake, use only 3 Eßlöffel/tablespoons)
400g jar of Nutella (for less calories/less density, use only 7 LARGE Eßlöffel/tablespoons)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mix the first 5 ingredients together for about 5 minutes or until smooth; Set aside
Mix the flour and baking powder together. Add first mix, one up at a time, so that the mix remains smooth and not clumpy.
Once both mixes are combined, add schmand, a little at a time and then nutella.
Grease springform pan and fill half way or less. If extra mix, use a pan where you can spread out the mixture to be not higher than half the pan. Place on the middle rack of the oven, on a baking sheet, for even cooking.
Bake at 170c for about 45 Minutes, depending upon the oven. Upper and lower heat, NOT confection works the best for my oven. Take out of pan and cool 15-20 minutes on rack.
Der Hit ist eine Schokoglasur drüber ! (For the icing, I melt milk chocolate chips (I use the Choquer brand from HIT/REWE stores; spread over the cooled cake). I serve with fresh strawberries, sliced cherries or other favorite fruit, whip cream or your favorite ice cream.
