I bought a new freezer the other day – and currently I seem to be doing my best to fill it up. The other day I made sweet potato and carrot soup. Today, parsnip, tomatoes and onions are roasting in the oven – and I am waiting to make stock and blend. And then freeze.… Continue reading Roasting vegetables for soup

Bubble tea at home
I have such a weakness for bubble tea that I walked an insane amount on holiday to get it. Multiple times. In multiple cities. And so, I had to try to make it myself.

Sugar
I think my goal for 2018 is going to be cutting food/drink from my diet that has unexpected, unecessarily added sugar/sweetener.

I did not have thyme, so I added rosemary instead. It’s really a cheesy side dish (works well together with either salmon fillets or chicken), that is perfect for the autumn.

I made them a few weeks ago, and immediately sent a text to those of my friends who absorb coffee like they absorb air and told them to make these. It is probably… Continue reading Coffee Pancakes
