Published by

  Welcome to part 2 in our “Myths and Truths” series!   Last time we dove in to sugar – this time we are diving in to “Myths and Truths about Fat/s and Your Health”. How exciting! We are actually totally stoked to be hosting this workshop on this very subject – first of all as there is of course so much Yummy, Fun and Healthy Food to be cooked within this theme. Secondly as we love to give these workshops and meet all of you. Thirdly because if there is any section within nutrition that has been swinging up and down, back and forth when it comes to trends and myths the past 30 years – Fat/s is the true winner. Science and research wise, it has been a true trip of discovery in to the nature of our digestive system and metabolism next to the tremendous effect and importance to our health. So, we will learn all there is to learn about Fat/s and Your Health in this workshop. We will cook some …

Healthy pancakes, yeah!

Published by

Another favourite in cyber space, which has totally become both a hit and a favourite in the household here. We´ve had a lot of visitors the past year since we moved up to Sweden. With us now living quite a way away from the supermarket it means our guests have kind of had to eat whatever this gluten allergic nutritionist whips up for herself every morning. Thank G – or thank Cyberspace – for these pancakes is the word I have gotten from basically all of them this past winter ;-).So I guess it is time to share my own pimped version of what was initially called the “2 ingredient pancake” :-), with thanks to all our dear friends who keep popping by with SAS and SJ; Ingredients (per person); 1 banana 2 eggs cinnamon baking soda (if you´d like, leaving it out is fine too and does not affect the taste) 1 tbsp buckwheat flakes or kernels 1 tbspn oat flakes 1 teaspoon each of all superfood berries and seeds you have in the …

Blissing out on figs

Published by

I know Instagram is flooded with pictures and recipes for “bliss balls”, but I just loooooovelovelove the word and have to admit that I have gotten pretty hooked on these truly blissfull, healthy, yummy and just wonderful little circular bullets of pure joy. Bliss balls , simply! So, here is a recipe so easy it is impossible to fail, so quick there is no way you can run to the store and get a Snickers even if the store is 10 meters away in the amount of time it takes to make these, so yummy you might consider to quit chocolate (I said “might” OK 😉 ) and so healthy you will be doing yourself nothing but good. Ready? Ingredients; 200 gr dried figs 2 tbspns coconut oil 1 dl rolled oats 2 tbspns honey Nuts Mix it all together using whatever mixer you have in house. I used a hand held mixer/blender and found it worked better if I chopped the figs in smaller pieces before starting to mix. Roll in to the shape …

Banana & Carrot Muffins

Published by

I know, I know – it has been ages since my last post…. But that does not mean the inspiration was gone, it was just life that kind of “took over”. Now with spring and long days, evenings and even nights as the sun now sets around 23.45 up here and is back up again around 04.00 there is plenty of energy and time to try new recipes. Yesterday evening I baked these gluten, dairy and sugar free muffins – filled to the brim with awesome anti oxidants like carotenoids, with potassium, fiber, heart healthy fats, vitamin D, healing spices, vital-for-bone-muscle-and-brain-vitamins-and-minerals, packed with vitamin A and protein. Aside from that long list of good reasons to try these, they were yummy! Only took 5 minutes to whip together and then 20 – 25 minutes in the oven – so, lack of time does not justify as a reason to not try! Ingredients; 3 finely grated carrots (medium size) 3 eggs 2 dl almond flour 2 tspns baking powder 0,5 tspn sea salt 1 tbspn cinnamon …

Quick, yummy and easy lunch or dinner omelette

Published by

Here is a really fast, easy, yummy and healthy omelette – one of my fav fast lunches even though I guess it is orignially more of a dinner dish. Being Swedish I love having cooked lunches and just can´t handle or enjoy the fast and cold lunches that are always eaten here in The Netherlands (sandwich country when it comes to lunch 🙂 ). This omelette does not take a lot longer that what it takes to create one of the sandwiches the Dutch loves and it is so much more nutritious and filling. I hope you enjoy it , whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner or all of the above :-)! The recipe is for 2 portions. Ingredients; – 4 eggs – 2 egg whites – 1 yellow onion – ½ zucchini / courgette – 1 red capsicum – 150 g champions – 1 teaspoon oil – 2 tomatoes – 40 g cheese 10 % fat, if you are lactose intolerant you can use goat cheese – 2 dl boiled or canned kidney beans …

Tomatoe and olive salsa

Published by

It seems to be the week or months of little nice side dishes all of a sudden , eh 🙂 !? Yesterday I tried this one next to one of the courses Stephanie and I were testing for our next cooking workshop and next to being fast and easy to make, it was extremely tasty and of course veeeeeeeeeeeeery healthy. 4 portions Ingredients: 12 cherry tomatoes or 3 large tomatoes half a cucumber 2 spring onions 1 crushed garlic clove 1 dl chopped, fresh basil 1 dl chooped black olives 2 tbsnpns freshly squeezed lemon juice salt & pepper The original recipe said to slice the tomatoes in small cubes and remove the pits but I left the pits in, which gave it more of a “salsa-feel”. Plus I also feel it tastes more like tomatoes as well with the pits in. Anyway, do slice your tomatoes in little cubes :-)… Do the same with the cucumber (also here it said to scrape out the seeds of the cucumber but I left them in). Chop …

Grilled and marinated veggies

Published by

Here´s another one of my favorite side dishes. While great for on the BBQ, you can also use your indoor grill if you have one or the oven grill. This recipe does have a few extra steps, which makes it easier to use the BBQ or the indoor grill but with patience of course the oven grill is fine too! For the vegans and vegetarians among us, just leave the sardines out. You can make plenty of this dish and keep it in the fridge to serve with any type of protein you are cooking for lunch, dinner or bring it on that picnic, boat ride, cross country skiing outing, ballon ride, day on the beach, hike up to the top of the mountain, you name it…. This recipe is for 4 portions. Ingredients: 1 aubergine 1 squash 1 red capsicum 1 yellow capsicum 2 red onions 1 dl calamata olives 2 tbsnps capers 1 tin of sardines Ingredients for the dressing: 2 tbspns fresh basil, chopped 1 tbspn fresh thyme, chopped 0,5 dl balsamic …

Published by

This has become one of my favorite recipse to make when I want to bring something for a friend or just cheer myself up on a rainy day. These goji “bullets” are great as a small snack, as a sweet next to your coffee or tea or as a dessert. The original recipe I found online, when Stephanie and I were looking for inspiration for our “Yummy, Fun and Healthy Snacks” workshop this spring. Ingredients: 0,5 dl almonds 2 tblspns dried gojiberries 2 tblspns pumpkinseeds 2 tblspns berry juice (of course without sugar!) 20 gr dark choclate , 85 % Maybe 1 – 2 tspns chiliflakes Let the gojjiberries soak in the juice for about half an hour to absorb all the liquid. After that, add the almonds, gojjiberries and pumpkin seeds to a kitchen aid or a mixer and mix it until you have a smooth paste. Roll little bullets or balls from the paste. Melt the choclate au bain marine. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to cool down a bit. Then roll the bullets in …
