I have to confess something. I have stopped drinking coffee, almost completely. During this insanely hot summer it has been totally impossible to drink anything that’s hotter than 5°C, hence I stopped drinking coffee. And matcha latte. And tea. It has been more than a month since I came back after my vacation, yet I haven’t picked up my old habit of drinking at least one big cup of coffee in the ...
Steel Cut Oats | v
I am always super late with all the new trends, and to be honest, most of the time I don’t even care about them. But sometimes things can catch your attention and after seeing it several times in different places, you know that you just have to try it. Sooner or later. It happened to me quite recently, a new food trend I had seen all over the Internet. Fellow bloggers shared recipes for how they ...
Re-evaluating my business + getting back to routines
I don’t know about you, but every autumn I feel the need to clean out the office, my wardrobe, and even our home. It’s like I need a new start, which perhaps is more common to have at the beginning of a new year. But for me, I have this period just before the autumn season kicks in. After the summer and a long vacation, it’s like I see everything with ”new” eyes. I re-organize, clean out and get ...
Chickpea Burgers with Thousand Island Dressing | v + gf
Hi guys, have you had a great week so far? Mine has passed in some sort of a blur, a mix of creativity and computer trouble. Let's not talk about the computer stuff because really, it's just boring. Instead, let's focus on creativity for a while. For me, creativity comes and goes. There are times when I can come up with 20 new ideas in a day, and then there are times when I don’t have any ideas ...
Vegan Brownies á la My Kitchen Stories
Hello friends! How have you been? Are you back at work/school yet? I have been working for more than two weeks now, yet it still feels kind of slow. Like everyone is in some sort of in-between mood (between vacation mode and work mode), and therefore everything moves in slow motion. I’m just like that myself. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to cook, style and photograph during my weeks off, which ...
Pasta salad with green soybeans and balsamic vinegar dressing | v + gf
When I cooked and photographed this pasta salad a couple of days ago, I got a special feeling in my body. Or maybe it was more like a though, I don’t know. Anyway, I just felt that ”I’m so done with this”. Not the cooking, styling or photography. Of course not. But the light summer dishes. Even though this pasta salad is super delicious, I felt that I’m done with the salad bowls, the cold dishes. ...
Pancake cake (or crepe cake) with raspberries | v + gf
I’m back by my desk for the first time in weeks and it’s with mixed feelings, I have to say. I miss the countryside so badly already, the fresh air, the lazy days and the late night talks with K while watching the bats fly outside the window. On the other hand, I’m thrilled to be back creating again. I decided to take the entire vacation off, but to be honest, I never thought I would be able to ...
Summer in the countryside
Hi guys, do you still remember me? It has indeed been a while since I last published anything here on the blog. I’m sorry. My vacation started, I had no inspiration for new recipes, I didn’t have time to schedule posts for the summer and yeah, it’s been a combination of things. We’ve spent most of our time in the summer house, where we have no Internet or wifi. This year we don’t even have ...
Strawberry muffins | v + gf
It feels like I haven’t blogged in ages, and I guess that’s because my vacation is just around the corner. The last two weeks have been so tough because my mind is already someplace else. You know the feeling? It happens every year, just before the vacation is about to start. At least to me. In a way, it’s sort of frustrating, because I can’t focus and I become the master of procrastination. But ...
