Gode søndagsvaffler. Veganske vaffler også. :-)

Finnes det noe bedre å kose seg med på en søndag enn gode, nystekte vaffler?!! Idag har jeg gått en herlig, liten skitur i vakkert vinterlandskap. For meg er det ekte rekreasjon. Turen trenger ikke være lang, og tempoet bør være akkurat så langsomt at jeg kan glede meg over synet av snø på trærne, sollyset gjennom greinene og småfuglene. Hjemme igjen lagde jeg vaffler og hele familien satt rundt bordet. Små, gode søndagsting som gjør meg glad. Tenkte jeg ville dele mine to vaffel"oppskrifter" med deg. Jeg skriver "oppskrift" i gåsøyne fordi jeg normalt sett lager vaffler "på slump", men stort sett på samme "slump" hver gang. Er du veganer er det ikke noe problem... den ene oppskriften er vegansk. Egg er byttet ut med aqua faba ...

Keep Your wooden cuttingboard fresh and clean. All natural.

A little Hello from my kitchen today and some all natural cleaning solutions. My favorite kitchen tool has to be my wood cutting board – it gets a workout every day for almost every meal. I even use my wooden cutting boards to serve bread and cheese and spread for lunch or bread slices for soups. To keep a classic wood cutting board in good shape, here’s how you should clean and care for it in a all natural toxic free way. STEP 1: CLEANMostly it's ok to just wipe the cutting board clean with a damp cloth - no soap or cleaning products needed. I tend to being sceptical to use soap or toxic cleaners on my cutting board ... really! It's the place I cut the food I eat - I don't want any harmful stuff here. When a quick wipe won’t cut it, bust ...

Magical full moon tea

With the full moon here (and Yes, super moon too) just these days, (on January 21st to be precise) I thought I'd share with you a recipe for full moon tea - just for fun. All people and the energy in nature are affected by the moon - either they know it or not. Some of us have trouble sleeping during full moon, some are more emotional..... in previous times people were much more aware of the moon and how it affected the nature, animals, the seeds and plants. I recommend reading more about the moon and it's energy to better understand. Making full moon tea is a fun way to make herbal iced tea and take a deep breath a second to rewind and enjoy the beautiful moon. With the moon being a feminine energy, this is a method to use if ...
