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, ...
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with pomegranate and sunflower seeds
It’s snowing outside and the temperature is below zero degrees. It’s not even 2 pm, yet it’s so dark you have to turn the lights on. From October to March, a lot of Swedes complain about the weather and the darkness. Like, complaining 24/7. I get so frustrated each time I hear someone complain about these things, I mean, we can’t control the weather or the seasons, and why complain about something ...
Christmas granola with nuts and seeds + winter in Sweden
It’s only a week left until Christmas and I am so excited. The time leading up to Christmas Eve is my favorite time of the year. And guess what? It has been snowing the entire weekend so everything is covered in white fluffy snow now ❄️ It’s sooo beautiful and I just had to go for a walk to capture it all. Now I just hope it won’t melt away until after Christmas Eve. Well, to be honest I hope it ...
Gingerbread Christmas Smoothie
I absolutely love having a huge green smoothie for breakfast. Preferably with an avocado toast on the side. I feel super energized and I stay full until lunch time. I usually throw in lots of spinach, a banana, some mango, maybe some kale, cucumber and lots of lemon. Sometimes I replace this green drink with some oatmeal, a bowl of plant-based yogurt or a smoothie bowl consisting of frozen bananas ...
