Raw food snacks – Marzipan!
I made this little frog together with Cornelia, my oldest daughter this weekend. I had some marzipan leftovers from last week when I made Swedish Hoovers and I wasn’t sure what to do with it. What do you make with a big lump of green marzipan? The first thing that came to my mind was - a frog! For the tongue and eyes I used icing that I had left from last Christmas and the dark spot in the eyes are chocolate. I haven’t tried coloring the marzipan in other colors yet, but I´m thinking that ... VIEW POST
Raw food snacks – marsipangroda!
Jag gjorde den här lilla marsipangrodan tillsammans med min dotter Cornelia i helgen. Vi hade lite marsipan kvar från förra veckan när jag gjorde nyttiga dammsugare och jag visste inte riktigt vad jag skulle göra med den. Vad gör man med en stor klump grön marsipan? Det första jag kom att tänka på var en groda. För att göra tunga och ögon använde jag glasyr från förra årets pepparkaksbak och till de mörka prickarna i ögonen fick det bli lite smält choklad. Jag har inte provat att färga ... VIEW POST

Creamy spicy peanut butter sauce
This peanut butter sauce is, if I may say so myself, absolutely delicious. Sweet, creamy and spicy, all at once. I´ve tried it with kelp noodles and glass noodles with different vegetables and it is just wonderful. My personal favorite is glass noodles. They are gluten free, low in calories and I love the texture. It’s just like angel hair pasta, but without the carbs. If you want to you can make the sauce without the peanut butter.

Swedish Hoovers – Dammsugare
Swedish Hoovers is one of Sweden’s most loved pastries. It is a small, green cylinder rolled in marzipan with both ends dipped in chocolate and it is filled with a soft, sweet arrack flavored dough. Because of its resemblance to the old vacuum cleaners we used in the early 1900s they were named “Dammsugare” which is the Swedish word for vacuum cleaner. Since this is a new healthier version of the classic pastry I decided to give them a new name and my mother in law came up with the name ... VIEW POST

The combination between soft cheese, crisp walnuts, sweet strawberries and cinnamon apples is fantastic. Recipe, 2 servings Green salad of your choice 1 Avocado 1 ... VIEW POST
