Hjemmelagd Eplegløgg – homemade Apple gluhwein

🇬🇧🇳🇴 when the evenings get darker and it's slowly starting to look like December .... at least when the Christmas magazines and the Christmas chocolates are appearing in the stores.... ok, let's say in November.... or October .... well, never mind... the point is: I LOVE A WARM, SPICY CUP OF GLÜHWEIN. I like the alcohol free version the best, made of blackberry, plum, raspberry or apple juice with lots of flavour and spices. So today I want to share one of my all time favourite recipes on apple glühwein - or as we call it in Norway: "gløgg". As I mentioned earlier I like my gløgg best alcohol free, but if you want you can add white wine, white rum or vodka of your choice to this recipe. 🇳🇴når kveldene blir mørkere og førjulstiden nærmer ...

Crispy fest-grønnsaker i «frakk»

Dagene går fort og snart er det helg. Helga er tid for litt ekstra god mat og tid for å gjøre litt ekstra ut av måltidene. Kanskje invitere noen på middag? Jeg har lagd noen skikkelig smakfulle, artige grønnsaker kledd i en crispy "frakk" av nøtter, kokkos, sesamfrø og brødkrum. Disse crispy grønnsakene bakes i ovnen og er både sunne og delikate. Sammen med en babaganoush (aubergine mos) og en linsehummus er dette en fin del av en tapas, som hovedrett eller som tilbehør. God fornøyelse! (Retten kan gjøres helt vegansk ved å bytte ut egget i paneringen med kikertsaft som er rik på bindestoffer. ) Panerte grønnsaker, babaganoush og linsehummus Panerte grønnsakerFår en sprø og smakfull utside. Stekes i ovnen slik at de inneholder veldig ...

Favourite fall diffuser blends

🇬🇧&🇳🇴The best about fall and chilly, rainy, grey days are the idea of staying indoor doing indoor activities I love... knitting, baking, making food, writing articles for the blog and playing with my essential oils. 🇳🇴Det beste med høst, regn-og-ruskevær og kaldere dager er at jeg med god samvittighet kan være inne og gjøre inneaktiviteter jeg liker; strikke, bake, lage mat, skrive blog-artikler og "leke" med mine eteriske oljer. 🇬🇧I'm trying to swap out as many chemical-filled products around my home for more natural ones. I like to call it DITCH + SWITCH. 🇳🇴jeg prøver å bytte ut så mange giftige kjemikalier rundt i huset jeg bare kan og istedet bruke naturlige produkter og eteriske oljer. Jeg kaller det DITCH&SWITCH. 🇬🇧So today I ...

Vilter høstgryte

Det er høst og det er tid for de fineste rotgrønnsakene. Jeg er glad i rotgrønnsaker. De er billige, holdbare, smakfulle, fargerike, sunne ... det er så mye godt som kan lages av rotgrønnsaker. Idag vil jeg dele oppskrift på en fargerik og smakfull høstgryte. Det fine med gryteretter er at man ofte kan bruke de grønnsakene man har for hånden.
