This is a really simple dinner for the whole family. We are eating less meat than before in our family. We haven't excluded meat 100%, so here is a recipe I love also with meat. If you prefer to go vegetarian, you can easily replace the beef with e.g. pepper, zucchini or carrots. I serve [...]
The quickest bread you can bake in the morning is the British scones. I remember baking scones often when I was a kid (no patience to wait for fermenting). This recipe is a healthier version of the one I did as a kid. I have made these scones gluten free and used breakfast ingredients such [...]
This is an all year soup. Now, winter time, we eat it hot. During the summer, you can eat it cold. It is a really simple and quick dinner for the whole family. Even my 9 months daughter loves it (we add the salt after serving her). Serve it with some home made bread, e.g. ciabattas. [...]

Baking is part of the count down for Christmas. From what I have understood, this is part of most of our cultures in the world. I had my Danish friend over for Christmas preparation the other day and she taught me how to bake the best Danish Christmas cookies "Pebernødder". They remind me of the [...]
We drink "glögg" for Christmas which is a hot drink with a lot of spices. I gave you my recipe earlier, which you find here. The recipe below is non alcoholic mulled wine, but still with a lot of spices. Ingredients (4-6 pers): 1 bottles non alcoholic red wine 2 whole cinnamon sticks 12 whole [...]
Dill-cured salmon is part of our Scandinavian Christmas food. My dad normally prepare the salmon every year in our family. This year, we won't celebrate Christmas together because we will spend Christmas with my husband's family. I have therefore made the dill-cured salmon this year, following my dad's recipe. This is so easy, the toughest [...]
Christmas caramel with a taste of ginger. Just be careful when you eat them, I don't want you to break any teeth. 😉 This is the Christmas candy I prepared every Christmas as a child. I prefer my caramel quite soft and chewy. The shorter you boil your caramel, the softer it gets. Ingredients (50 [...]
