NEW YEAR and TOAST SKAGEN

The last day of 2015 is here and god, this year have been a year with a lot of ups and downs. I feel so blessed I start next year on a better note than last year, knowing I’m stronger than I could never imagine. I’m nicer to myself now – knowing how important it…

RIS Á LA MALTA

I can’t believe it’s only 3 days left of 2015 – as always, the year have flown by so fast. This means that this is the last of the “Christmas-food” posts for this year, ending with the one thing I can’t celebrate Christmas without; Ris á la Malta. This is the one thing I ask my…

MY SWEDISH CHRISTMAS

This night was my first night since Monday that I’ve slept in my own bed, and god, it felt so good! I love christmas but after driving from family to family, activity to activity and when I finally landed at home after the traditional boxing-day ice hockey (and we won, that felt even better) I have…

MERRY CHRISTMAS or GOD JUL!

Merry christmas and happy holidays to you all! We have just been eating christmas-lunch and now we’re waiting for Donald Duck. Every year at 3 p.m everyone (and I mean everyone!) sits down to watch Donald Duck “From all of us to all of you” from 1958 and it have been aired on channel one since…

DAY BEFORE DUNKING-DAY and ICE CHOCOLATE

What kind of crazy day is “Dunking-day” you say? Its christmas! In Sweden we have a tradition of dunking a piece of bread in the broth where we have cooked our christmas ham in. That makes today the day before dunking-day since we celebrate christmas the 24th. This is one of the best days of the…

FIG, PEAR AND PORKITOS SALAD.

It’s only 2 sleeps until christmas eve today, its so crazy how fast this month have passed by! Today I’m going to a baby shower, we’re going to surprise a friend of ours who’s having her second baby early next year and early tomorrow were leaving to go to my parents house to celebrate christmas. So…

HEALTHY SATSUMA PANCAKE-STACK

Ever since I finished my exams I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather, probably due to a lot of stress the last couple of weeks making my immune system low. Also, I’ve been eating wrong and felt that I needed to treat my body with something other than the heavy christmas food. The citrus-fruits seems…

GINGERBREAD CUPCAKE w/ LINGONBERRY-CURD

Both my two exams are done and went well so I’m relived to finally be able to say that I’m officially on christmas-break!  Since my university are international (we’re probably 50/50 Swedish and the rest is from all around world) we start our school-year early to be able to have a long christmas-break so everyone…

CHRISTMAS @ LISEBERG, GOTHENBURG

Yesterday, me and Marcus met up my sister in Gothenburg where she studies to be a psychologist to pay our annual visit to the christmas market at Liseberg. Liseberg is the biggest (or maybe second biggest?) amusement park in Sweden and every year they put up an incredible christmas market that are so worth the effort…

3RD ADVENT, SWEDISH SAFFRON-BUNS or LUSSEKATTER

Today it’s 3rd of advent and finally I can show you one of my absolute favorites when it comes to sweet things; Lussekatter (or Lucia cats if you translate it directly). Its a soft, sweet saffron bun with raisins, traditionally eaten during Lucia (13th of December). I believe this tradition could be quite exotic for…

PUMPKIN AND GINGER SOUP

Tomorrow its time for my first (of two) exams before finally having some time off over christmas. It’s microeconomic principles that need to be mastered and I think I’ve got it, at least I hope so. It’s a lot of calculations and equations that have to be remembered but I can finally say that it…

BLACK BEAN PASTA WITH CREAMY MUSHROOMS

Just a quick and easy lunch. Black bean pasta is a favorite of mine to change up the regular spagetti-game, making it a bit more healthier and it fills you up for a longer time. Here in Sweden both Risenta and A la Eko makes relly good ones but I know it can be found…
