Mango Waffles

Soooo… Our family is on waffle trip 😂 The recipe that I made for the spinach waffles was a hit. Kiddo has been whining me to make waffles for him and his best friend for the whole day. He saw that we had a mango in the fridge and asked from me if we could…

Mac & Cheese

Spring means for me busy time outside. Cleaning the garden and planting the things. Cursing voles and moles, and the damage they have done in my garden during the winter time. This also means that I do not have time for fancy and time consuming cooking,so I tend to do lots of soups and casaroles….

Avocado Pasta and Turmenic Spiced Shrimps

Spinach Waffles and Salmon Mousse

Sometimes you need a fast and fun food to eat. I like waffles because they are fun and fast to make And Kiddo loves them. My only issue has been that normal Waffels are so heavy and full of not so good things. So I decided to make a new recipe and give. Change for…

Spinach Soup and Feta Börek

Spinach soup is one of my favorite  soups. It is served in Finnish school as lunch,usually with some meat filled pierogi and hard-boiled egg. I have lots of vegetarian friends,and they  ask very often from me recipes. So this time I converted this classical recipe into something new. I used soy milk instead of the normal milk…

Spätzle is bit like pasta or noodles. It use to be poor man’s food. Eaten high up in the alps during the winter months.You had your stables of fat,milk,eggs,flour,ham and cheese. Traditional recipe is just flour,milk,eggs,salt and whole thing is being served with Bergkäse (heavy and strong-tasting Austrian cheese) on top and some fried onion.Heavy…

Zucchini alarm.. Zucchini fritters…

My veggie garden was two weeks unattended, and yesterday I had a look where my zucchini plats grow..Well,I found this whopper! 3,4 kg of overgrown zucchini. I know,it is not that tasty anymore but somehow I felt bad just to dump it away. So I had to figure out something to do with it. Yesterday…

Real Sicilian pizza dough and Mini Calzones

Savoury pie with Heirloom tomatoes, Jamon Serrano and four cheeses..

Tomatoes here tomatoes there..And they all are ripening at the same time. Never the less there’s nothing better than home-grown tomatoes.Sweet and tasty. I cooked today wonderful savoury pie using those tomatoes.Bit different than usual, because tomatoes on top are uncooked. Perfect for lunch,picnic or when you need something savoury but not so heavy food…

Summer vegetable soup, and towelling poncho for Kiddo

Summer days..Long,hot and sunny. We have been spending lots of time outside in the garden. Kiddo water sliding ,playing in the sandbox and building all kind of things. Me digging,cutting,listening music,drinking wine and reading books.. Occasionally screaming to Tweedle Dee & Dum while they’ve gotten into their normal enterprising routines of getting in trouble. It…
