Tacos - is there a more popular dish? In Sweden ”taco Friday” has become a thing, and I think that like 50% of all Swedish families eat tacos on Fridays. Even if we aren’t eating tacos on Fridays, we eat tacos (or something similar) once a week for sure. It’s delicious, you eat a lot of veggies and everyone likes it since you can pick and mix the way you want. When we don’t know what to ...
Lentil curry with rice
A couple of months ago I started to crave curry like crazy. I don’t know why it happened, but it did. We didn’t even have curry at home at that time. But I couldn’t stop thinking about it so I started to create new recipes in my head. When I had finally bought some curry spices I decided to make a lentil stew, season it with curry and serve it with rice and broccoli. We had some red bell peppers ...
Living a green life – my favorite products for a sustainable home
Ever since I was about 14 years old and saw the documentary ”An Unconvenient Truth” for the first time (it was in chemistry class), climate change has been a very important topic for me. Back then I didn’t know much, I mostly put badges on my backpack that said ”stop climate change”. What a rebel I thought I was. I’m proud that I realized that this was a serious problem at 14 years of age though. ...
Mini rye breads with spelt
Wow, what a couple of weeks it has been. Our baby boy joined us on the 26th of February and these three weeks have passed by in what felt like 10 minutes. Three weeks of feedings, diaper changes and cuddles on repeat. I have never been as happy as I am right now. How can a tiny person who only sleeps, poops and eats bring so much happiness? I can look at him for hours, and I still can’t ...
Kladdkaka – Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake | v
We woke up to a clear blue sky today, and I must say it almost feels like spring. The snow is almost gone, the birds are chirping, and the air feels somewhat different. Spring is lovely, but on the other hand I love snow and those -15°C kind of days. I’m not done with winter just yet, I feel like I need a couple more weeks of cold weather to be ready for a new season. But no need to complain ...
No-knead everyday bread: long rise for maximum flavor
Our bread baking Sundays continue! It’s only our second Sunday doing this, so I guess it’s too early to call it a routine just yet. But we’re getting there. Just a couple more weeks and baking will probably be a habit rather than a spontaneous activity for gloomy days. Besides baking, there hasn’t been much going on in our house. Both K and I went down with the worst cold ever during the ...
Banana bread muffins with blueberries
There’s something very peaceful and relaxing about spending a Sunday afternoon baking goodies for the coming week. I can’t say that I do bake and meal prep every Sunday, but I really want to get better at it. Especially when it comes to baking. Unless you’re buying freshly baked bread from a bakery, you really can’t compare home made bread to store bought. The bread you make yourself has so much ...
Carrot pancakes with lingonberries and coconut
Being 9+ months pregnant and getting closer and closer to due date, I feel like I’ve become more introvert than usual. I’m in my own bubble, focusing a lot on what’s to come - preparing, doing yoga, meditating and just relaxing. I’m also working hard to finish off a few things before the big day comes, like doing my accounting and sending away invoices. Simply making sure that all business related ...
About 2018 and planning for 2019
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. I assume that most of you are back at work by now? I took a couple of weeks off during the holidays, but have been working for a week now. It has been hard, to say the least. You are used to sleep at least nine hours every night, walk around in your PJs all day, and just be with your partner all the time ♥ Now you have to get up early, ...
