We eat a lot of potatoes during the summer. I love simple boil summer potatoes, but then preferable with herring, sour cream and chive. Otherwise I like to make something else out of the potatoes. To roast them, or a gratin or mashed potatoes. This dish is a simple dish with roasted potatoes, carrots and [...]
This is a simple summer dessert, and delish! We normally have it after a bbq when the grill has been used for the entrée as well. The cinnamon is perfect to the sweet and caramelized pineapple. Serve it with a creamy vanilla ice cream and you have a perfect summer dessert for the whole family. [...]
Home made meringue is so easy to make and deeeelicious. I like to make them quite big and rather cross them into smaller pieces. The bigger ones look better and they get this great texture with a hard, shaky outside and a chewy inside. I love to flavor the meringues and this time half of [...]
Today is Midsummer! This is my favorite Swedish holiday and that I miss the most when I am not in Sweden. We celebrate a whole day that the summer is here, days are longer (4-5h between sun set and sun rise) and the vacation is around the corner. That is really something to celebrate. What [...]
This is a perfect summer dish and reminds me a lot of Swedish summer with traditional Swedish "färsk potatis" (the special summer potatoes). I have roasted the potatoes in butter, garlic and fresh rosemary from my garden. The drumsticks are marinated with a rosemary and oregano marinade, which gets the saltiness from soy sauce and [...]
I have a new favorite - these small, delicious and, at the some time, healthy energy bites. And it's not only my new favorite snack, it's also my 14.5 months old daughter's new favorite snack. Perfect! I just say, you have to try this recipe. I cannot just eat one.... They are ready in less [...]
The basil in my garden is growing and growing. I have so much basil and try to eat some basil every day. 😉 I have one sort that has a bit of anise taste. Do you know which sort that is? I also have traditional basil, which I have use in this salad. This is [...]
Me and my family went strawberry picking yesterday. This reminded me about my childhood, when my older sister and my mom went strawberry picking. The went to this strawberry farm, not far from our summer house, every summer to help the owner to get their strawberries picked and thereafter sold. I don't know if I [...]
Soup works all year around. I know, some say that soup is more for the colder part of the year, but I can eat soup in all kind of temperatures. This is a quick and easy to prepare cauliflower soup with a hint of truffle taste on top. It has a rich and deep taste [...]
This is Scandinavia! Salmon and dill sauce. We love it and we eat it often in many different combinations. I have made an oven-baked salmon with a layer of dill, crispy potato wedges with olive oil and sea salt and a creamy dill sauce with added flavor and texture from pickles. You have to try [...]
