This post is quite spontaneous. Today I've been on a road trip with a friend of mine and while driving trough the beautiful landscapes, stopping here and there to take a closer look, take photos or find some geocaches I've been contemplating about how much this beautiful Mother Nature means to me. As my friend is a passionate geocacher (you can go see what this hobby is all about at www.geocaching.com ) she'll drag me out at least every once a week to go on road trips, walk in the forest, go to some lake, climb trees, go to some islands, walk in the park or climb mountains to find these little boxes with a note pad inside to write our name to tell "whoever" we were there and enjoyed the journey. So, thanks to my friend, the last couple ...
Dried yellow chilli
Good day! While working on some larger projects and preparing a description and pattern for the crochet shawl I've been working on for a while I wanted to share a fun little project with you. I loooove these useful and tasty homegrown, dried yellow chilli peppers. You might already have seen my canned yellow chilli peppers ... you'll find it HERE http://www.gudruns.blog/2018/07/canned-yellow-hot-chilli-peppers-💥/ I also saved some of the chillis from my friends garden to hang dry in my kitchen. I love making my own chilli powder or chilli flakes to use in my cooking. Drying whole chilli peppers are easy peasy. You just pick whole chilli grab a needle and thread and use the needle to "sew" the chilli peppers on to the thread. I ...
DIY Kaffe peeling
🇬🇧English👇🏻 Hei og god mandag! Idag tenkte jeg å dele oppskrift på en finfin hjemmelagd peeling-krem lagd av sheasmør, kokkosolje, eteriske oljer og kaffe. Hvordan er det med sommer-huden din? Er den klar for høstlige dager eller er den litt tørr og bitt av sol og bading og sommervarme? Det er aldri feil å skrubbe av litt døde hudceller for å gi huden fin glød og mulighet for dannelse av nye, friske hudceller. Denne hjemmelagde skrubben er både skånsom, effektiv og gir god næring til huden. Visste du at kaffebønner inneholder mye fett som er kjempebra for tørr hud. I denne peelingkremen er det også frankincense eterisk olje som beskytter cellene og er veldig bra for huden, hjelper mot arr og elding av huden og copaiba som forsterker ...
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 ...
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.

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 ...
