Skewers with sesame and pumpkin

I guess for most part it is my own fault that people expect food if they visit us. And I do not mean the regular bowl of peanuts or olives, noooo, they expect me to have made something new and something exciting! My dad is one of the worst as I have told you before [...]

I walk through the isles of the supermarket and for the first time I really see how ridiculously expensive everything is. Not that I shopped blindfolded before, but we’ve always been in the somewhat luxurious position of not having to count every penny we spend.

Delicious roasted pumpkin salad

Outside leaves are turning red, yellow and golden; a sure sign that the end of summer is now official and autumn is making it’s way in. The fact that it feels like it has been autumn for a couple of months now doesn’t make it any less noticeable. It’s the wind that’s telling us and [...]

Remember when Charlotte and I went on a pasta making adventure a while ago? Since we liked cooking together so much we had decided to repeat the process and so we set a date for another cooking party. A friend of Charlotte tagged along so our little group of two (is that even a group? [...]

Pumpkin beef stew

There is something so comforting about typical fall food. It’s the smell, the colors but above all the taste that make it so. When I read about the three ingredients for the Royal Foodie Joust I just had to participate. It’s my first time in the Joust and I am not a star in making [...]
