I´ve had such a great week this week. Since one of my new courses is online-based I suddenly (with some planning) have so much more time on my hands. I’ve been to the hockey, meeting up with friends and tomorrow I have a lunch-date that will include ramen. Yum! I´m also preparing to leave Sweden next…

LOUISIANA STYLE PORK STEW
To be honest, I’ve been feeling a bit down this week. I guess it’s the stress of starting school that caught up on me, the teachers really went all out this semester with assignments, quizzes and cases. One evening this week, when I got home, exhausted from a especially hard day I really made this to cheer me up;…
MERGUEZ, BELL PEPPER & ONION PASTA
Today my summer officially ends and I will be back in school from now on. To be honest, I’m in a serious struggle to go back to everyday life. It is hard to go back to sitting down to concentrate and listen when I’ve spent the whole summer on my feet, and the fact that…
SPICY STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS
I’m back at work after a year off because of studies and gosh I’m so tired! I think I have suppressed how long days it is and how heavy all the lifting is. But the one thing I remembered correctly is how incredible fun it is to work with and around food. All my old favorite…
SAUSAGE TRAY BAKE
It’s something about those Fridays. I think we all share that feeling of finally being to exhale some of that week’s collected stress and pressures and inhale some calm and happiness again. Today, I’m exhaling all the exam-stress and inhaling some weekend feeling. I have been watering my snap-pea plants, taking a walk in the…
GUMBOLAYA
Yesterday the exam period (the last one, woohoo!) started and with that a healthy proportion of panic settled in. This week my group have two reports that is due. Next week its two presentations and video-recording. And the week after that. BAM. Two exams with one day apart. That decision to take the weekend off…
GUINNESS-BRAISED PORK BELLY TACOS
Friyay! (again, where does the weeks go?). It´s such a great day today. The sun is shining and yeah, life is good. This weekend I have nothing on my agenda – for the first time in forever. I will be cooking for my extra-family tonight, the same tacos as this recipe, and that is pretty much…
ROE DEER VENISON MEATBALLS
It´s something about spring that just gets me every time – the motivation to wake up and do great things is higher than ever and I´m trotting away like a Shetland pony on the streets of Jönköping just so happy. One of the exchange-students from Pakistan told me she thought of Swedish people like flowers. All…
ASIAN FLAVORED EMPANADAS
It’s 7 here in Sweden and I just woke up after a 2 hour “after-school-nap”- my last lecturer just killed me with his packed full PowerPoint slides about business ethics so I needed a rest. Now I have some pork belly in the oven and I can´t wait to take it out because the smell…
HALLOUMI BAKE w/ BACON AND CHORIZO CRUMBLE
I’ve had such a great Easter-holiday – The days have been filled with some amazing food and tonnes of candy, I’ve seen family and friends that I haven’t seen since Christmas and Sweden have shown itself from its best side with some incredible spring-weather. However, today its back to reality with two new courses starting but since its only…
CORSET PORK TENDERLOIN w/ FETA AND BASIL
It have been a bit quiet in here for a while – real life called for my attention or more so, my grades. But now I’m finally finished with both of my exams and can look forward to 7 days off to celebrate Easter and to give my poor head (and coffeemaker) a rest. This…
DUCK W/ BLACKBERRY-CHOCOLATE SAUCE
This is one fancy dish, perfect for spoiling your loved ones with on Valentines day. I’m actually not a big fan of Valentines day, its more of a novelty-day for me and I prefer to show people I love them on a daily basis instead. But this dish, omg, I absolutely love duck. The crispy skin…
