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 ...

Sommerlig, raus og solid shoppingbag

Her i huset er vi mange som har dilla på miljø.... jeg blir alltid glad og litt stolt når barna mine irettesetter meg for å kjøpe plastposer hvis jeg har glemt å ta med miljø-poser eller egne handlenett til butikken. Det fine med bommullsnett er at de tåler mer enn plastposer .... i de aller fleste tilfeller holder posen å bli båret ca 1 km fra butikken og hjem og kan brukes igjen og igjen og igjen .... i motsetning til plastposer som ofte har røket eller revnet før du har gått 50 meter fra butikkdøra ... og du finner deg selv på alle fire på fortauet for å plukke opp dagligvarer, løk, appelsiner, yoghurt, epler og alt annet som triller utover .... 😂 Idag har jeg satt meg fore å sy en skikkelig raus, solid og sommerlig shoppingbag. Den ...
