Hamburger Sunday..
Sunday was lazy day in our household. Hubby came back from his business trip from US, on Saturday morning, so the theme in our house was Jet Lag. I was not in much of the mood to cook anything fancy. Since the grill season is in full swing, I decided to make hamburgers. With the…
Salmon flamed in grill,asparagus and arugula potato mash.
I am Finn and Finns love fish! At least I do. If I would have a choise that would be all that I would need to eat. Hubby and Kiddo are not agreeing with this. Kiddo is passionate fisherman while we are vacationing in Finland but that’s it. I guess one reason is that it…

Cinnamon rolls with the extra twist (apples and carrots are involved)
In Finland we have something called “korvapuusti”, “slap on your ear” might be the best translations for it. I love them! This might be the only baked recipe, that I do not manage to screw up! Dough is simple sweet brioche dough.Very versatile to use. What makes Finnish brioche dough special is CARDAMOM. It gives…
Lohilaatikko – Salmon Cassarole

Light Parmesan Chicken and sweet potato fries

Wood Garlic risotto with shrimps (and other shenanigans)
It has been one of those days when WTF?? has been my first thought.. This being one of them. I am used to all kind of disturbances, but it always makes me wonder a bit, when I hear :” Booot-bo-boot-koot-ko-koo”, behind my kitchen window, because I do not have chicken! I do not have anything…
