10 min healthy pancakes for the weekend brunch <3

As many of you probably know, I am completely obsessed with pancakes and waffles all year around. My grandparents just got me a new waffle maker for my new apartment, as my old one is still in NYC. I have been experimenting a ton with ‘‘how to make the quickest, tastiest, but also healthiest pancake recipe’’.
This is already a well known recipe, and you can see bloggers, models, and influencers posting it all over the world on TikTok and Instagram.
Here is my verson, it’s super easy, quick and cheap to make it!



What you need (1 pers)

2 eggs
1,5 dl oats
1/2 ts baking powder
1/2 banana
1 dl oat milk, or other milk
salt
cinnamon
blender or a hand-mixer





What you do

Start with having the liquid parts in the blender, then add the oats, the banana, and the spices.
Blend until smooth. Leve it for 5 min until you fry the pancakes in a pan with some coconut or other oil on high temperature. (Make sure the temp is high before you start the cooking)!


Topping:

Recently been addicted to this, I’m just adding some fresh raspberries to some diary free yogurt and mix it together with some sweetener, and use it as a ‘‘topping cream’’. I love to use some nut butter and some homemade granola on top of that as well. The more topping the better!


Right now I am using the nut butter from Bodylab.no. Top with whatever you love, the topping is what makes the pancakes in my opinion. And obviously a good cup of coffee, (iced for summer, hot for winter), would be a perfect combo with this.


Wish you all a great weekend, I am considering going away to the mountains for some hiking.
I am defiantly serving this for brunch in Norwegian landscape, surrounded by mountains and fresh Norwegian mountain air!

Garlic mushroom avocado toast

It’s almost Easter time, and some of my best memories with easter include good quality of food in-between skiing in the mountains. Even tho this will not really be a real easter for me, or anyone else, we can still cook easter-ish food.
This little treat is on most menus on the hottest brunch spots in Los Angeles.


This recipe is perfect for breakfast, or as a brunch/lunch. It is easy to prepare for a family, or just for yourself like I did today. You only need four main ingredients and it takes about 15 minutes to prepare it.



What you need

bread
mushrooms
avocado
garlic
lemon
salt
pepper
oil


What you do

Start with having the mushrooms in a pan with some chopped garlic and olive oil. Fry the mushrooms until they are golden, or until they are crispy - closed to burned (like I prefer them). Most people prefer the golden version. Dizzle over some salt and pepper.
Leave the mushrooms while you prepare the rest of the food. Slice a piece of bread and have it in your toaster, or heat it up in your oven or in a pan.


While you wait for the bread to get ready, slice a medium-sized avocado into two pieces and cut out half of the piece. Have half an avocado smashed over your toasted piece of bread, and add the mushrooms on top. In the end, squeeze over some lemon. This is the vegan version, but if you want to add some protein to the dish you can add an egg on top.



I hope you and your family are safe this easter.
I’m spending my first easter alone. Excited for a zoom call today with some girlfriends all around the US, the hear how they are all holding on. So sad how the situation has got so bad here in the States. I’m feeling extra grateful for being Norwegian now and impressed to see how the Norwegian government is dealing with this situation.



Stay safe, Best Eline.

RH - luxury furniture and rooftop restaurant

If you are looking for a nice spot to have brunch or a fancy dinner in Minnesota, this is the new hot spot you don't wanna miss out on. Restoration Hardware is originally luxury furniture and home retailer. They opened their rooftop restaurant in NYC, Meatpacking district just about a year ago. Their rooftop in NYC quickly became one of Manhattans' most popular brunch spots and dinner spots and it is almost impossible to get a table over the weekends. 

As well as the RH in NY, the Restoration Hardware in Minnesota is a three-level 

showcase store with a rooftop restaurant on the top floor. They serve both lunch and dinners, also during the weekdays. Just a few minutes from the RH store is the ¨Galleria¨, a smaller luxury shopping center with stores like Tiffany, Louis Vuitton and such. 

We ordered a burrata to share, and a filet of grilled salmon as our main course. The food was delicious and the music and atmosphere were good too.
We will defiantly come back some other day. Usually, it feels like you can be casual in most places in the states, but If you want an opportunity to dress up, this is one of the more dressed-up spots in the city.

I hope you got inspired to check out this cool and inspiring place next time you visit Minnesota. 

Wish you all a great Saturday.

Best, Eline Syrdalen

NYC Summer - In collaboration with Amber Sceats

My week started pretty lazy, as everyone take the weekend including Monday and some even Tuesday off here in the US for Memorial weekend.

Memorial weekend is for remembering and honoring people who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces - and has nothing to do with partying, even tho that’s what most people do!


Here in NYC, lots of people go upstate, to the Hamptons for long weekends. I was super excited to finally go away for a few days, but got a fever the day before leaving so had to cancel the entire trip. So bummed to miss out.


Anyway I had some nice and lazy days off here in the city, met up with my Norwegian girlfriend and some of her friends for her birthday! We had lunch at Catch, and the food there is great. Especially for the sushi and sea food lovers. They have vegetarian and gluten free options too and there is always a good vibe there. It ended up being a pretty short week after all.


Next week starts my crazy work scudule. Working for a client here in NYC that I worked with a few times before, so I know its a good crowd of people.
That always helps when you know you have some long days ahead. At least I have the weekends off, and hopefully the weather will stay nice!:-)

Im finishing up my lunch and stopping by the agency before wrapping up this week.


Have a great weekend you all!


All best, Eline S
