Considering I present myself as completely mad about food I’m pretty low maintenance when it comes to what I put in my body on a daily basis. I prefer something rather healthy that keep my blood sugar levels under control and it’s nice if it tastes good but that’s pretty much it. Today I’ve managed to squeeze in two…

CHEATERS PRETZEL BITES w/ CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE
With me having a degree and some working experience in the pastry-field one could suspect that I have a sweet tooth. But no, I’m a savory girl (except when it comes to After Eights, never leave me alone with a box. I tell you, both you and me will regret it later). But recently I’ve discovered…
BLACK FOREST BROWNIE
Someone asked me how it felt to know that a lot of strangers read my blog, people I’ve never met in real life and I can’t say I had a good answer to that question. Firstly, all of you leave such sweet comments that make my day every time (can’t really have bad day anymore) so I…
THE NO-FUSS CHOCOLATE BLISS BALLS
This week seems to be the week of new beginnings – the summer holidays are ending, school is starting and everyday life gets back to, yeah well, everyday life. Thankfully my university decided to give us another week off and I couldn’t be happier. It gives me a chance to catch up with my ginormous to-do list that…
CHOCOLATE ALMOND GRANOLA
Seven more days, only seven and then I have survived the first year of Uni. I remember when I started – so scared I was too old, in the wrong program since I always felt I was born to create food, not numbers and that I would hate every minute of it. But, I kind of have found a…
SWEDISH CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY BISKVIER
Finally Friyay! I woke up feeling so tired today. We celebrated a birthday yesterday at a local pub and then ended the night with birthday-cake and coffee. And that coffee, it never bothers me to drink coffee late, its just something you get used to when working late nights in a kitchen. But, this was probably the strongest…
SWEDISH KLADDKAKA
So it’s finally Easter. To me Easter symbolize the beginning of spring after too many long and dark winter months. I can’t say me and my family really celebrate Easter – we give the kids Easter-eggs filled with candy, we eat sill and lamb-roast dinner but really nothing more. But still, we all get together at…
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…
LOVE-YUMMIES or KÄRLEKSMUMS
So, were almost done with January. Its been a great month for me – I guess having some time off is great but I believe I feel better when having some daily routines. I’ve really gotten into yoga (once again) and I really can’t understand why I stopped. It makes a lot of difference in how…
PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE STARS
Today it’s the coldest day so far this year, about -16 degrees to be exact. That means a really cold nose as soon you step outside, but the air is incredible crisp and the sun is shining so I can’t really complain. So, this recipe is a good one; its a cross between a brownie and a cookie…
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…
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…
