Gardeners Peppermint tea. 🌱 (and how to easily dry your garden herbs)
Peppermint tea made of real peppermint leaves from the garden is one of my all time favourites. ❤️ Peppermint isn't just tasty and have a wonderful aroma and scent it also has soothing and cooling effects it helps digestion and makes you feel more comfortable after eating a heavy meal. And if you wonder why people of Northern Africa drink sweet, warm peppermint tea during the warmest days, I can tell you; peppermint is cooling and the warm beverage makes the body absorb the water and liquid more easily... and if you sweeten the tea using for example honey you'll have a little boost of energy during the day... specially after lunch ... So, my favourite peppermint tea is made of peppermint leaves from the garden. You can use fresh ...
Van Life
Noen av dere som leser denne bloggen vet at vintage folkevogn og van life med gammel hippiebuss er en del av livet i familien hos oss. Noen har sikkert også fulgt med vår vw t2 «bønna» det året han var på tur gjennom Europa, fra Oslo, via Sverige, Danmark, Berlin, Praha, Østerrrike til Garda i Italia. (Vil du lese om turen finnes det en rekke reisebrev her ) Men det har kommet til mange nye blogglesere siden det og ikke alle kjenner Jarle og meg og bilen «bønna», så jeg tenkte det kunne være morsomt å skrive en liten introduksjon. Jarle og Gudrun ble kjærester i mai 2013. Vi hadde lyst til å fylle livene våre med ting vi liker, med glede, kjærlighet og opplevelser... slik kom vår grønne t2 ambulanse fra 1969 inn i bildet. Jeg elsker ...
The best homegrown, homemade basil pesto
Today I'll share a super good recipe on homemade basil pesto. Pesto is one of my all time favourite sauces, it's soooo easy to make, you can use it along with "all kinds" of dishes and you can use different kinds of basil, oregano, parsley, cilantro, Thai basil, ruccola or whatever ... by the way; did you know there are SO many types of basil?! The " normal " basil we buy in the shop is often times with round, soft leaves and "leafy ", mild taste. But there are lemon basil, cinnamon basil, red basil, Thai basil, Thai chilli basil, holy basil (tulsi) For the pesto we made at my friends house the other day, we picked several different types of basil in her greenhouse and garden . So, without further ado here is the very best homemade ...
Canned Yellow hot chilli peppers 💥
🇳🇴👇🏻 Chilli peppers are some amazing and stunning "fruits" and plants. They come in sooo many different types and shapes and colors ... I'm always stunned when I realise there are even more chillies out there I even didn't know existed. Now, I have this wonderful friend and neighbor - and almost every summer I get the pleasure and honour of looking after her garden and greenhouse when she's off for vacation. Her greenhouse is filled with tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and chilli of all kinds. Needless to say I looove soaking in all this borrowed goodness. And even better; she is the kindest and most generous person I know .... so she tells me I need pick veggies and herbs and flowers and chilli 🌶 while "babysitting " the ...
Kirsebærsaft 🍒 cherry “lemonade” syrup
English👇🏻 God mandag!! Jeg håper du har hatt en riktig god helg. Jeg har kost meg med aktiviteter som gjør meg glad og gir energi. Jeg har vært sammen med familien, venner og de jeg er glad i, og jeg har høstet og syltet og saftet og tatt vare på gaver fra naturen og hagen. Det gjør meg alltid utrolig glad når jeg ser at frukt og bær og grønnsaker modnes og vi kan bruke det til å lage ting som vi kan glede oss over på kjøkkenet. Idag har jeg lyst til å dele min oppskrift på kirsebærsaft. Jeg har et lite tre med sure kirsebær i hagen og i år ga det lille treet så mye bær at det ble 5 flasker saft. Hurra! Kirsebær er veldig takknemlige bær å lage saft av. Saften blir god, vakker farge og den holder seg godt. Selv bruker jeg en ...
Swedish Raspberry coconut oven pancake (you won’t miss this one!😉 )
It's one of those days .... ...you know that day, when your old car decides it's ok to drive to the grocery store.... but when you're finished shopping and have placed all the goods inside the car, ready to go home .... then the car decides it's more exciting to not work properly and instead get towed home .... (thank you Jarle, my love, for ditching the garage, and come help me ❤️ much appreciated!) ... so what better reason (when you need even one more reason ) to curl up with some yummy good "cake-like" food. Oven pancake is one of my all time Swedish favourites. It absolutely puts a smile on my face, reminds me of happy childhood memories when my Swedish mom made all kinds of yummy food in the kitchen. I strongly recommend oven ...
