Triple cheese beetroot pizza
Do you love cooking seasonally? Either way, you’ll love this recipe. Triple cheese beetroot pizza! It’s not only pretty to look at with all the autumnal colours. But it’s also packed with flavours to get you through the autumn. Beets are not only delicious to eat, they are also packed with nutrients. Such as B vitamins, iron, manganese, copper, magnesium, and potassium. These red little gems are in season now, with all kinds of variations. I personally love the polka dot beetroot. Especially to eat raw in a salad. Fall apples are also in season, and they are particularly tasty to cook with. They tend to be a little bit more savoury and…

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…

Nice cream – served three different ways
I’m noticing how my three o’clock dip pops up uninvited when I’m stressed. What’s the cure for this? Healthy nice cream of course! The reason I have been stressed, is because we are moving, renovating and everything at the same time. Also I don’t really like it when it’s a mess around me. I just had to create something healthy to snack on. Nice cream is really the best. I share with you my three best recipes. My absolute favourite is the peanut butter chocolate. Dare I say it, it’s better than real ice cream? It’s vegan and no added sugar. I think you should try it! [lt_recipe name=”Avocado Nice Cream” servings=”2″ prep_time=”6-8H” cook_time=”5M”…

Butter glazed carrots for Thanksgiving
First out, as part of my Thanksgiving special is Butter glazed carrots for Thanksgiving. As promised on my Instagram page, Thanksgiving recipes will be taking over this blog! 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…

Hungarian zucchini stew
I have been craving Hungarian zucchini stew for a while now and with the surprise veggie bag from Los Perros Urban farming containing all the ingredients, I took as a sign. Now I haven’t cooked anything Hungarian since my Nana passed away a couple of years ago. For various reasons. However, one being that Hungarian dishes take a lot of time to make. Both my mum and my Nana used to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Especially Sunday dinners. Anyway, this Hungarian zucchini stew is traditionally served either as a side dish or a main dish served with potatoes. In fact, a lot of families were weekday vegetarians and had…

American spirulina oat pancakes
American spirulina oat pancakes, how do you like the sound of that? I have been a big fan of spirulina for a long time, way before it even got trendy. I like that it’s healthy and I adore the beautiful colour. This green and blue superfood is an alga, and just as little as one tablespoon a day can have major health benefits for you. You can read more about here. Spirulina has been called the most nutritious food on the planet. So you can understand why I wanted to introduce it to my kids. Now my kids love sushi, but peel of the Noori, because they simply can’t eat seaweed. Selling algae for breakfast proved a…

White chocolate apple cake
I love dessert, especially anything with chocolate. I had to try out white chocolate apple cake. This combines two very typical types of desserts in Sweden. One is ”kladdkaka” which is like a sticky brownie, but flatter. The other one is ”skånsk äpplekaka” which is a typical apple cake that originates from where I live in Southern Sweden. Now anyone who has followed me for a while knows that I have a little balcony where I grow veggies and berries. However what I haven’t told you quite yet, is the fact that we recently bought a house. We haven’t moved in yet, but there is a garden. Now the garden is full of apple trees…

A rich chanterelle mozzarella melt
Picture a grilled mozzarella melt sandwich. Do you see it? Now add some delicious chanterelle mushroom and piquant dijon mustard to it. Can you taste it? I really love quick and easy food. Who doesn’t right? This is why this recipe is a good one to remember. We all have those days when we are busy and don’t have time to cook a proper dinner. However, this does not mean that you have to compromise on health and taste. You will have time for this mozzarella melt and the best part. You won’t be disappointed. If you eat meat, then chop up some bacon and add to this fabulous sandwich that is the mozzarella melt. This…

Jerusalem artichoke soup
A creamy and rich Jerusalem artichoke soup is perfect on a day like this. Not only is it meat-free Monday, but it’s also a cold autumn day here in Scandinavia. The season has changed and even though the sun might show itself, you can feel the change of the season. That is good news. At least when it comes to food. The foods available right now are amazing! One of which is the Jerusalem artichoke. I absolutely love Jerusalem artichoke soup. This recipe gives you a threesome of typical Scandinavian flavours, Jerusalem artichoke, dill and potatoes. I think this or a version of this soup was one of the first things we were taught…
