Hello and happy Saturday. Hope your weekend is good. Today I want to share the recipe for a tasty, summery, yellow sunshine soup, made of sweet corn 🌽 zucchini/ squash, coconut milk and fresh turmeric root. I love soups, even in the summer. This one is light and fresh and can even be consumed cold if you have any leftovers. The corn will soon be ready to harvest - and that's by the way one of my favourite things to go harvest at the near-by farm. Grilled, freshly picked sweet corn is sooo good. Freshly pickled corn can even be eaten raw. It's sweet and delicious. So, if you, like me, love picking sweet corn you should definitely try this yellow sunshine soup. You can even use leftover corn after bbq or if you cook a few extra corn. ...
Instant sunshine popsicles ☀️
Peppermint-Melissa tea popsicles with Caramelised kumquat Wow! How cool is that?!? To make popsicles of tea made from your own homegrown garden herbs!! I love herbal tea made of peppermint and Melissa - it’s fresh, cooling and uplifting. It works perfect both as warm tea and ice tea, so if you have some leftovers after making tea in your tea pot, don’t throw it away! And as a bonus melissa and peppermint both have some wonderful medical properties. Soothing, calming, antibacterial, supporting digestion and so on. So, I got this idea it might be yummy to make iced tea popsicles. I had a few kumquat from my friends greenhouse and I wanted to use these for something fun. Citrus are all uplifting and works as instant sunshine. So this ...
The best homegrown, homemade basil pesto
Today I'll share a super good recipe on homemade basil pesto.

But there are lemon basil, cinnamon basil, red basil, Thai basil, Thai chilli basil, holy basil (tulsi) For the pesto we made at my friends house the other day, we picked several different types of basil in her greenhouse and garden . So, without further ado here is the very best homemade ...
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 ...
