I absolutely love this ginger coconut milk ice cream (and ginger is so good for you)! Regular ginger ice cream was always a favorite too, and I used to get that all the time when buying ice cream “out”, but for some reason I hadn’t gotten around to making my own non-dairy version until now. It’s not vegan because I use […]
My Favorite Kale Chips Recipe
Kale chips are perfect for tricking picky eaters and vegetable-haters into eating this super-healthy green. I used to be one of those picky eaters myself: I’ve only recently come to like kale. Growing up, the only time I ever saw it was as an unappetizing dish (“långkål”) on Swedish Christmas smorgasbords and never even […]
Super Easy Chickpea Spread
This chickpea spread recipe is based on the Chickpea Salad With Halloumi I wrote about earlier this summer. I was trying to come up with a new dip for veggies and thought why not try to do something with the chickpea mix from that recipe, since it’s so good I can eat it as is out […]
Vegan Raspberry Rum Coconut Ice Cream
I have certain favorite ice cream flavors which you can easily find in Sweden but that I have not been able to find here, so last summer, I thought I’d take matters into my own hands and make my own ice cream instead. I bought a Cuisinart Ice Cream Makerand started experimenting, and I […]
Drink Milk – Bad Advice?
Growing up, I didn’t really like it all that much, but was always told to drink milk because “it’s good for you”. Everybody seemed to think it was the best thing you could possibly consume, and in Sweden, dairy is abundant. Most people eat some form of milk product (yogurt, creme fraiche, sour milk, etc.), cheese […]
Homemade Iced Coffee Using Espresso Coffee Beans
I started making my own iced coffee, because it’s cheaper and less of a hassle than to buy it somewhere. And, I actually like my own better than what I buy in the coffee shops (if I may say so myself) so I thought I’d share my very easy recipe here. To be honest, I’m […]
Chickpea Burgers With Tzatziki And Hot Sauce
Happy Valborg! Today is Valborgsmassoafton, an old pagan tradition, and in Sweden, people celebrate with bonfires, singing, and dinner parties. The fires are to scare off witches and evil spirits, the songs are all about saying goodbye to winter and welcoming spring, and the dinner parties… well, they’re what dinner parties always are – hanging […]

My go to meal when I’m exhausted, hungry and just can’t fit cooking into my schedule. Broccoli I love broccoli. I eat it in some form almost every day, even if it’s just raw with a nice sharp piece of cheese as a snack after work to hold me over until dinner. Lucky for me […]

Pasta With Carrot Sauce – An Inexpensive And Easy Recipe
Sometimes, I like to cook. Most of the time, I don’t. Even when I like to cook, I’m pretty lazy, and won’t bother with any recipe that has too many ingredients. I went through a phase of loving to cook that lasted several years, and during that time, I invented some dishes that have become […]
