Yesterday I got SO many awesome gifts. Probably by now some of you already know I loooooove homemade. I love eatable, sustainable, handmade .... my people probably know this too ... so for my birthday they had really poured their hearts in and made me some wonderful gifts. No1 of course: the gift of love - the gift of being together, sitting around the table, talking, laughing and sharing good food. They made me the cutest breakfast - my man took me on a perfect lunch date and in the evening they created the best dinner&cake. I feel so blessed. 💕 I got these super yummy biscotti from my daughter Sol, that I'll serve you the recipe today. These are soooo good and are perfect along with a cup of tea or coffee. I got so many good ...
Rhubarb&strawberry sherbet
Yes, I admit I'm a ice cream lover.... or maybe more like a sherbet lover. The fruity, fresh, tasty, real taste and smooth texture are perfect for dessert all year but in the summer I think I could live of ice cream and sherbet only.... ok, and some fruits and berries ... and fresh veggies .. and... I also have this love for rhubarb. It makes me super happy when the strange large leaves and the super sour and tangy stalks appear in my garden. I kinda feel like I want to wear the leaves as a hat and run into the kitchen to find a cup of sugar like I did when I was 5. So, because I love homemade berry-fresh sherbet - and because it's my birthday tomorrow I think I'll serve you one of my all time favourite homemade sherbets made of ...
Cheers to the weekend
Happy Saturday. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Lucky me was invited to garden party over at some neighbors yesterday. The summer is the best time for gathering and enjoying the light Scandinavian summer nights, friends, drinks, good food, laughter and conversations. As I'm a mother I really enjoy parties with room for children, teens, adults and people of all ages. I love the laughter, the playfulness and the laid back feel of garden/summer-parties. Today I want to serve you some cool summer drinks suitable for party people of all ages. Strawberry-rasberry-lime lemonade Juice from 3 freshly squeezed limes 100-150 ml sugar 100-150 ml frozen raspberries 7 strawberries 500 ml water.Add all the ingredients to a blender and mix ...
Glitter girl solid perfume
I got this awesome Idea on instagram today and just had to do my own take on glittery solid perfume. It's summer, it's weekend it's perfect timing for this wonderful, natural, homemade perfume-glittery-cream. 1. The perfume is made of 100% natural, nontoxic, pure essential oils. 2. It won't vanish into the air so quickly (like store bought perfumes made of alcohol and synthetic fragrances) because we use heavy oils and beeswax as carrier oils, and these will sit on your skin and hold onto the scent of the essential oils added. 3. Natural glitter added to make your skin summery, glittery, beautiful. This will suit your tan perfectly and natural. I whipped up this solid glittery perfume in minutes, using only things I had on hand. ...
Fresh, sweet and delightful smoothie and the purpose of this blog
I'm so happy and thankful you've found my new blog-home. http://www.gudruns.blog I really hope you enjoy it and that you've found all the new and old content (I've brought all the content from my old blog, so nothing will be missing). As you've probably already discovered I blog about a wide range of things. I blog about my silly little ideas and my life. I blog about natural living, essential oils, creative and DIY-projects like knitting, crochet, paper art .... I blog about reuse, old cars (mainly vintage vw ) I blog about food and share my recipes. I blog about gardening, nature, love.... Most blogs are more specific - more into one theme... but you know what ... I'm just not like that. I'm more like all over... all in a beautiful ...
Plastic free Vegetable net
Do you love fresh fruits and vegetables even more in the summer? Me too! I love going to the fruit market and pick mangoes, peaches, melon, apples.... all kinds of fresh fruit. What I really like about the vegetable / fruit market is that most of the fruits and veggies are not wrapped in plastic. But then, when we pick the fruit we're about to buy we put it in little plastic bags ... to reduce the use of plastic I decided I wanted to make some nets to use when I'm shopping for fruits and veggies that are easy to bring along in a handbag. So I decided to use some of my spare cotton yarn and crochet a veggie net. I'll share the crochet recipe for my net in English and Norwegian. Along my way I realised more people are thinking the same ...
Pink limonade a-la tropical Oslo
Ok, Yes I know I'm going on and on every day about the wonderful summer weather in Oslo .... but really, it is quite unusual! I mean, 32 degrees Celsius! it's May (still - even if it's last day) and today all we can think about is ice cold lemonade... 😊 So, after making vegan red pepper soup at the café today I decided I needed to make some fresh, ice cold lemonade for me and the girls at home. Luckily Sol (my youngest daughter 16) had picked some lemons and frozen raspberries at the grocery store yesterday so I was all set for pink lemonade today. This recipe is quick and easy and made in seconds ... I added some "frosting" on the glass brim dipping the brim of the glass into the lemonade and then in white sugar. 🇳🇴Norwegian recipe ...

Happy Day ! Hope Your Day is good. Here in Oslo we have the warmest May Day in more than 70 years I think. It's like the warmest summer day, 32 degrees Celsius... yes, we do enjoy the wonderful summer. Today I'll do my post in Norwegian & English. I usually don't do that - but I think the recipe I'm about to share is too good to be missed because of the language. This is a homemade deodorant recipe - and just let me say: if it works today it'll work any day! my Norwegian friends, just scroll down and you'll find the post in Norwegian 😘 🌱Norsk👇🏻 This recipe is pretty simple but it requires some different ingredients you might have to stock up on first.
