Prickly pear smoothie bowl
Prickly pear smoothie bowl, have you tried it? If not, you really should. These beautiful little creations are not only gorgeous, but delicious. Such as prickly pear smoothie bowl. I got a few questions about prickly pears, when I posted on Instagram. Just like the cactus, prickly pears have little hairs on them, that can stick you. Although they are easily removed with a damp cloth. Prickly pears are ripe when they are yellow, dark pink or orange. It’s sweet, like a hybrid between watermelon and yellow kiwi. As you understand it’s a wonderful addition to your breakfast table. Like a prickly pear smoothie bowl. I also made jam from it, and it’s…

Butter glazed carrots for Thanksgiving

First out is this delicious side dish with fresh carrots, from my local gardener. I can’t wait until my own veggie garden is up and running! Anyways, these small very tasty carrots went well with butter (honestly what doesn’t go well with butter?) and parmesan cheese. Serving butter glazed carrots for Thanksgiving will sure be an appreciated side dish at your Thanksgiving dinner table. Now as I mentioned before, Thanksgiving is, as I’m sure you know not exactly a Swedish holiday. But celebrating with good food…

Vegan Kale Pesto
What do with a bunch of kale you wonder? Vegan kale pesto of course! Each week I get a surprise veggie bag from Los Perros Urban Farming. It’s seasonal, it’s local and it’s tasty! Last week I received kale in my veggie bag. Now, I’m not a huge fan of kale, to be honest. I make kale crisps occasionally, which actually goes great alongside crisply grilled chicken. However, I often struggle what to make out of kale. Therefore I needed to try something else to do with kale. Now, what I am a fan of, is pesto. In all its forms. Vegan kale pesto was no exception from this rule. To take away…

Vegan brownies – made from black beans
Have you heard of black bean vegan brownies? I have got to be honest with you, I have an absolute sweet tooth, and my weakness is delicious chocolate. I love anything with chocolate in it, well almost anyway. Black bean vegan brownies were not on the top of my list. But, I’m also very curious. What do they taste like? Turns out very deliciously. Now I could eat dessert all day long, but I recognize that it wouldn’t be very healthy in the long run. I never count calories and don’t restrictively, but I have important people in my life who does. For different reasons. Therefore I’m thinking, this is a win win, win for…

Med alla sorts alleriger och matpreferenser kommer här några smarriga glutenfria och sockerfria alternativ på frukostbordet. Carolines omelett Du behöver: 3-4 ägg 1 msk…

En glutenfri frukost
Frukost med vänner är det bästa! Men vad gör man med alla dessa allergier som folk har? Jag har två väldigt nära vänner, varav en är allergiskt mot guten och den andra mot mjölk. Inte mot laktos utan mot mjölkprotein. Det innebär inget laktosfritt, utan på riktigt mjölkfritt. När vi började umgås var inte utbudet på marknaden sådär upphetsande. Jag har lite burit med mig den synen på allergivänlig kost. Att det är lite tråkig kost, man måste kompromissa alltför mycket för att det ska vara gott. Men efter att jag själv har upptäckt att jag inte mår speciellt bra av gluten, speciellt bröd har jag börjat hitta andra alternativ. Jag är inte glutenallergiker,…
