🇳🇴👇🏻 Today I've been on a little walk in the forest with a dear friend of mine. We both enjoy the forest at all seasons ... and in the autumn we enjoy all the gifts we can find in the forest such as berries and mushrooms. Today we were lucky to find quite some of this rare black trumpet mushroom. We also found some chanterelles, and last but not least we found peace and balance and support in the nature to recharge and be empowered. As I came home I wanted to celebrate the season of fall and make something good to eat. So, as three of my teenagers / young adults were here I decided I wanted to make some yummy vegan mushroom wraps with cauliflower and lentil filling and salad. This was actually such a hit I want to share it. You ...
The best vegan beetroot soup – Vegansk favoritt-rødbetsuppe
I'm back home after a wonderful weekend in Prague at Young Living convention, filled with essential oils, good food, friendship, listening, learning and enjoying natural lifestyle and how to get even better. I love to travel, I love learning, see new places, meeting new and old friends, but coming home is a blessing and always feels wonderful. Being surrounded by my people, my family, the people that love and support me is precious to me. So, as a few of you know I struggle with pretty heavy fatigue syndrome which means I need to make sure I use my energy wisely and recharge a lot (!) Today is my day to recharge. Even if the trip to Prague filled me up with so many good things, new knowledge, friends, ideas it also is energy ...
Bulgur salad for lunch

They were all in Norwegian just because I know these people in this northern corner of the world usually bring their lunch box for school, work, outdoors... whatever...

I've made a super tasty, healthy, filling salad with bulgur and lots of fresh veggies. You can of course mix it up with whatever veggies you prefer. So without further ...
Garden berry tea
Today is tea Day. Fall has arrived in Oslo and it's getting colder. Lucky I'm prepared as I harvested leaves and some berries to dry and make this years garden-berry tea. I gathered green leaves from blackberry, black currant, red currant, wild strawberries Melissa and added in a few berries too. I let the green leaves air dry on a rack in my kitchen. I dried the berries at 70 degrees Celsius in the oven. When the leaves was dry I crushed them and added the crushed leaves and dry berries to a glass jar with an airtight lid. If you enjoyed this recipe for homemade garden berry tea, maybe you'll like my recipe for peppermint tea from the garden too. You'll find it HERE. ...
Potato&zucchini soup
Today is the first day of this semester of school and "everydays". So, after a wonderful weekend with vintage Volkswagen camping, racing and friends we dived into our Monday with our hearts filled with tons of good summer memories, laughter, hugs and sunshine ... So, for some reason I love the fresh start of new everydays. It gives me the opportunity to create new routines, start fresh and make changes. One of the things I love the most with "everydays" are planning, preparing and making the meals and gather the family for a healthy meal. I love the idea of sitting around the table taking time to eat healthy and share what ever happened in our day. The meal itself doesn't have to be fancy, actually I love simple, easy made, tasty ...

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 ...
