Bruschetta
Tomato season always cheers me up! I avoid the bland, under ripened tomatoes that are available in the winter, and save myself for the sweet, flavourful tomatoes of summer.

Nice Cream Cones
Every Swedish parent knows about “lördagsgodis” – candy for the kids on Saturday. I tried to keep it away from the two youngest, but it didn’t work… And once they get a taste for sweets, it seems impossible to go back. But now I got so tired of hearing my soon-to-be 4-year-old ask for candy… Read more »

Blueberry & Redcurrant Scones
Berries, berries, berries? Are you getting tired of it yet? Because I’m not! I found a recipe for blueberry scones by @livinlaveganlife and simply added redcurrants as well.

Grilled the sandwiches in the waffle maker for a… Read more »

So these pancakes give you strength, agility and makes you able to climb any obstacle. No wonder my kid wanted to eat them! Oh well, they taste pretty good too. Ingredients2 dl… Read more »

Mango & Raspberry Swirl Smoothie
You can’t go wrong with a breakfast smoothie bowl. This one is made with frozen banana, mango, lemon and oat milk. I poured 3/4 of in a bowl, then whizzed the remaining smoothie with some raspberries. I added it slowly and tried to make a little swirl. It was good enough to impress the kids,… Read more »

Carrot Cake with Cashew Frosting
A moist, flavourful, sweet and dreamy carrot cake. There’s hardly anything better, is there? I used a recipe by Swedish queen of baking @leilalindholm and switched eggs for 1,5 dl aquafaba. (Just google it! Let me know if you want it translated to English.) The frosting takes a bit of work, but you’ll thank me… Read more »

Banana Bread
This is one of my favourite sweet treats. The word “bread” is obviously a trick to make it sound healthy. It’s not. Especially when you add chocolate. But oh, it’s makes it sooo much better! So maybe it’s not ideal for breakfast, but really any other time of the day. Recipe from foodfolder.se. Banana Bread4… Read more »
