Raw food chocolate cake for beginners - step by step

Step by step easy beginner raw food chocolate cake recipe


What you need

Base:
3 large-sized dates
A little less than 6 cups of seeds (half pumpkin/ half sunflowers (1,5 dl)
6 cups oats (2 dl)
2 topped tbs raw cacao powder
2 tbs coconut oil
about 4 cups almond milk (1 dl)
vanilla extract
sea salt


mid layer:
3 dl (about 8 cups) overnight soaked cashew nuts
4 tbs Marple sirup
2 tbs squeezed lemon
1 tbs melted coconut oil
1 large tbs raw cacao powder
sea salt
vanilla extract


top layer:
2 large tbs coconut oil m
2 topped tbs cacao powder
4 tbs Marple sirup
vanilla extract
sea salt



What you do

Base -
As the cake got 3 steps, you need to take one step at the time.
At the first step, it is important that you slice the dates into smaller pieces before addinng them to the blender, or using the food processor. Always start with the liquid part, and then add the rest. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty, you can also use plastic gloves if you prefer keeping your hands clean. The texture is supposed to be pretty firm, as this is the base, but as it cools down it will set better.
Have the mixture into a cake shape and place it into your fridge, as you start on the second step of the cake,.


Mid layer -
The main ingredient in the mid-layer is the cashew nuts, Its important that you soak the nuts overnight, meaning adding them to a bowl of water, this makes the nuts softer and easier to work with like a cream base.
Again, start with the liquid parts to the blender, or food processor and add the nuts little by little as you blend together.
Have the mid-layer over the cake base, and place back to the fridge.


Top Layer -
My fave layer of the cake is the top layer! Start with melting the coconut oil, mix in the marple syrup, and the rest of the ingredients. Have the topping over the cake and make sure to get it all spread out to the edges of the cake as well. For coffee lovers, you can add a tbs off espresso coffee.


You can leave the cake simple like that or top it with some seasonal fruits, some shredded coconut, or nuts.
Leave the cake in your fridge, It lasts for at least a week and is perfect as an everyday dessert or as a small bite to your coffee break.



I hope you like it.

fresh summer rolls with peanut dipping sauce

Recently I have been craving Thai-food and got inspired to try to make something I spotted on the take out menu on one of my favorite vegan Thai places here in LA. Summer rolls are great nowadays because you can stuff them with whatever you have left in your fridge. I used what I had available, and been making this easy dish every second day ever since. The special peanut butter sauce makes the dish even tastier, but also works with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce. All these colors on the different veggies make me happy, and this is definitely a great immune booster too!



What you need


rice paper
carrot
cucumber
avocado
leftover sweet potato
seeds
bell pepper
peanut butter
cream cheese - I used a vegan one.




What you do


Start with slicing all the veggies in thin pieces. Fill a large bowl with hot water. Add one rice paper at the time to the water bowl until the paper gets soft, hold it over the bowl while you wait or the water to drip off.
Place the paper on a large plate and add your favorite toppings. drizzle some seeds on top for some healthy fats. Then wrap the sticky rice paper together, like a burrito or taco wrap. Easy like that. It doses’t has to look perfect, but the taste will still be the same. This is a fun thing to do together in the kitchen, with your friends, the only things that takes time is the prep of the veggies. For the meat lovers, you can obviously add some chicken.



Peanut sauce

Add one large tbs cream cheese, one large tbs peanut butter and a little bit of hot water to a bowl, mix together, add more water if you prefer a thinner texture. Voila - creamy peanut butter dip sauce.



I hope you like it.
I wish you a lovely rest of the week.

My best skincare tips for fall/winter - Reklame Dr. Schrammek medical skincare

I have been struggling with my skin for a little while now, probably because of jetlag and getting used to the US food again with more hormone than what I am used to in Norway. I usually have the same problem every fall. When the temperature and dryness in the air change, my skin changes too. It gets irritated more easily and also dryer than usual. Therefore I decided to share my best tips for a better skincare routine for fall and winter months.

1. you are what you eat
As we all know, a good diet will show on your skin. Eating with balance and moderate the sugar and alcohol intake always helps. As well as eating more greens. If you don't like veggies and think they are hard to add to your diet, you can do like I do. add them to your smoothie. Check out some of my recipes under Food by eline for inspiration. Last time I went to a dermatologist she told me, ‘Avoid alcohol, sugar, and lactose for a while', I did and it defiantly helped my skin.



2. cleanse

I always clean my skin, every morning and before bedtime. You might think it is annoying to spend those extra minutes in the bathroom every day, I get it.
But as soon as it becomes a routine it will feel much more natural and you will also see that it is worth it when the results on your skin start showing. Remember to keep your makeup brushes clean too,  clean them with a cleaning spray or wipes at least every second month. Dirty brushes can cause acne and more irritated skin.



3. Scrub
A lot of us are struggling with clogged pores or blackheads. At least once a week, I use a good scrub marked with ‘for the face'. The scrub for your body will be too hard on your face. I like to scrub my face and body in the shower because that's the best way to make the pores open. 
As the pores open, you get the chance to scrub off that dirt that might be in your pores. I usually get clogged pores on my nose, but a good scrub helps me getting rid of them. 

4. moisturize

Always moisturize, and especially important after a facial scrub. I like to do a face mask once a week after scrubbing. The one I use nowadays is from Dr. Schrameck, ‘Intensiv moisturizing mask’. Even tho this is sponsored, I do love all Dr. Schrammek's products. But all medical products will probably better if you have any skin problems.



5. Hydration

Even tho we might not feel that thirsty when its getting cooler outside, its important to stay hydrated even during the cooler months. If you can't handle cold water during winter, you can always heat your water and add some ginger and lemon, which is detoxifying as well.



6. Stress down, self-care

Stress can cause bad skin and makes us age faster. I know it is easier said than done, but take some time for yourself. And I get it, a lot of us have really busy lives and some of us with kids. But be selfish for at least a few minutes every day. Go for a 10 min walk and put on your favorite song, or do the workout you love, or just sit down and listen to your breath for some minutes and light up some candles. I think it is even more important when the darker and colder days are coming. To be a good mom, a good friend or a good girlfriend I believe we need to be good to ourselves first. Those few minutes are more precious for your well being than you think. Remember not to be too hard on yourself, we are usually our own biggest criticals. Stressing down also helps our hormones getting in balance and will also show on our skin.



7. Protect

Protecting your skin is not only important during the summer months, but also during winter, our skin needs protection all year round. Nowadays a lot of day creams also have protection. I am using a cream from Dr. Shrammek named ‘anti-pollution’. This cream is perfect if you live in the city. I started using this product while living in NYC. The most stressful and polluted city I have ever lived in. This cream is protecting from pollution as well with SPF 30. It is a thicker cream, which I like a lot this time of year.



8. Invest

I have always seen my skincare, and diet as an investment in my health. Investing in good skin products and healthy foods is like a lifetime investment at least for me. You have one body and one skin, you won’t get a new one. And remember that it is never too late to start taking care of yourself, no matter what age or shape you are. During winter mounts I always fuel up on extra vitamin D (which we only get from the sun), C (to protect the immunity system) and last: Iron supplements (Iron is a mineral that helps us build red blood cells, witch most women could need more of because that time of the month). Being low on iron can cause headaches as well as tiredness. Healthy fats: I try to add chia seeds to my morning smoothie, which are a natural source of fatty acids like Omega 3. Chia seeds are great for our skin, and if you don’t eat too much fish like salmon, omega 3 is a good option for you. For the record, chia seeds have more omega3 than salmon. Chia seeds are quite expensive, but you need very little to get the amount you need, so one package lasts quite long.



9. Go away puffiness

Last Lil' tip for the puffy morning face or eye bags. This is for every day or during that time of the month, where at least my face gets extra puffy:
I just invested in this face roller thing everyone is talking about, (in the top left picture above). You get face rollers in all different shapes. Mine is from Sephora, but you can also get them on Amazon or in most skincare stores. Leave it in your freezer, or fridge overnight and roll it gently over your face after your morning cleanse.



I hope you like my skincare guide. Stay warm, Minnesota is already starting to get cold. I’m dreaming back to Miami and adding some pictures shot on the beach by the creative couple @asulprusia.

Exploring new superfood spots in Minnesota

It's only my second week in Minnesota, but It feels like I have been here for a month already. I have been doing so many things and met so many people in such a short period. I had honestly thought Minnesota was a small and kind of boring place to live, but it is not! The city feels big, and there are so many things to do.



I have been spending hours after hours in home goods, target, RH and such to organize for the house. I do enjoy it, even tho if it is a lot of work.
People here are so helpful and genuine every time I ask someone for help. I also got a car now, which I was pretty nervous about at first. I have been in the states for 3 years now, but I always avoiding driving. I felt like I had to challenge myself when we moved here. Minnesota is not like NYC with a subway right outside your door. Being able to drive gives me much more freedom.



One of the girls from the Wild team is from Finland. She and her husband live close to us, so we have been spending a lot of time together in the last few days. It's always something special about the Scandinavian culture and how you bond with each other. She shows me all the cute spots, I'm adding some pictures under from our lunch at ¨Crisp and Greens¨ in Minnesota yesterday. 
The place is super cute and with all kind of options, also for the vegans! I did a green bowl yesterday, with chickpeas, carrots, tuna, feta, avocado, spinach and some super tasty ginger dressing. I do recommend this place, super clean and and the service was great too! Also an option to be seated outside, (like we did) when the weather is good.

Hope you all have had a good week and is as excited as I am about the weekend. I am going to a concert today, which Im really looking forward to! Tomorrow it is the Wilds first home game, here in Minnesota. I am super excited to be there and see Mats on the ice again, lets hope for a win!
Minnesota has been warm and nice the last few days, but the rain just started. Rumors told me it will snow this weekend. Gotta get prepared for some cold winter months, even tho I'm pretty used to cold weather. 

Best, Eline S.

parmesan veggie cups

With busy days, and sometimes too little time for preparing a proper healthy meal I always search for a healthy on the run snacks.
I love these egg white cups, super tasty and easy to prepare! Egg whites are also high and compact protein, wich helps ur blod sugar to stay stabile threw out the day and stop cravings for sweets.
You can fill your egg white cups with your own favorite veggies, below Im listing mine;

What you need

Mushrooms
Peas
Bloccoli
Riced califlower
Salt & pepper
Olive Oil
Parmesan cheese
Egg whites

What you do

Instead pan frying all the veggies, I put them in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. My oven is pretty fast, I have them all together in the oven for 20 min on 175 degrees celcius. The time always depends on what oven you are using,

Use a tablespoon an place the veggies in cup cake holders, or spray an iron muffin pan with olive oil, like the one I’m using. After add the egg whites and top each cup with two tbs parmesan cheese.

Bake the cupcakes in the oven on 175 degrees celcius for 15-20 min, again depending on your oven .I recommend to check on them in between. Let them cool down and serv alone, or with some butter and bread for the carb lovers. These are perfect to add in small plastic bags and bring with you in the bag for a small in between snack on the run, or to fuel up on some extra protein after a workout.

Hope you like it!

Chocolate mousse -Protein style

NYC was sunny for a second, but then it was raining the entire weekend, including Monday and Tuesday. Kinda cosy too, especially when the weekend plans was babysitting, cinema and cooking with the kiddos.


My girlfriend and I also found a new awesome serie on Netflix. We almost finished it over the weekend. ¨Dead to me¨, you should check it out. A bit creepy, funny and also romantic. Something your boyfriend might like too! Reminds a little of ¨Big little lies¨, for those who have seen it, wich is another good serie I highly recommend.


This chocolate mousse have been a favorite of mine for years. Its a perfect little healthy treat or a post workout meal, to fuel up on.
Its really simple to put together. just for yourself, or for you and your bestie. <3 It is a good treat to keep in the fridge for the next day too!



What you need

Organic cottage cheese
Yoghurt - I use Kite Hill (plain almond yoghurt)
Some vanilla extract
Stevia, honey or other sweetner
Raw 100% cacao
sea salt


Topping

Seeds
Berries
Cinnamon


What you do

Mix together 2 topped tbs cottage cheese and 3 topped tbs yoghurt in a bowl. (The creamier yoghurt you use, the creamier the mousse will get)
Add 2 tbs cacao powder, a pinch of sea salt and some drops of vanilla extract. (If you are not a big fan of the cottage cheese taste, you can always do one more tbs of yoghurt and one tbs less of the cottage cheese or skip the cottage cheese completely).


At the end add stevia or other sweetener, taste a little in between to get it as sweet as you prefer. Everyone have different taste, I personally like a strong taste of cacao, and prefer the bitterness.


Mix well together. If you don’t like the texture of the cottage cheese and want to get rid of the bumps, you can use a hand mixer or a blender.
Personally, I don’t mind the bumps.


Have the mixture over in two small bowls or one big one. I love to heat up some raspberries as topping, with some pumpkin, chia seeds, sunflower seeds and cinnamon. Keep in mind that this is not a proper chocolate mousse, because its protein based and without butter and eggs. This mousse will be much more compact and not fluffy like a normal mousse. Its a high protein, low carb treat that fills up and helps to get rid of cravings.


Hope you like it and get inspired to try something new to fuel up on.


Have a great rest of the week you all! and happy 17th of May to all Norwegians!


All best, Eline S

Chocolate Cali-Power <3

Min nye morgenrutine er denne deilige nærings bomben, med en spesiell ingrediens du aldri ville gjettet!
Jeg elsker å eksprimentere med nye smoothies og lar meg ofte inspirere når jeg sjekker ut smoothies på forskjellige health spots i NYC, LA eller Miami.
Lurer på hvor mange blendere jeg har kjøpt opp igjennom årene på reisefot. Jeg er fullstendig avhengig av en god blender, i og med at jeg drikker smoothie nesten hver dag.


Inspirasjonen til denne superfood smoothien kom etter jeg drakk en smoothie på Pure Green i NYC. Var først litt skeptisk, men smoothien var virkelig supergod! Så jeg bestemte meg for å prøve å lage en lignende hjemme.


En av hoved ingrediensene er nemelig blomkål, ja du leste riktig.. Det høres kanskje ekkelt ut, men helt ærlig så smaker du ikke engang blomkålen!
Jeg liker å bruke frossne grønnsaker i smoothien min, og blomkålen er en av de nyeste favoritt ingrediensene å bruke. Blomkålen er så bra for oss! Den er proppfull av jern, som spesielt vi kvinner gjerne har mangel av i forbindelse med menstrasjon.


Du trenger -For 2 små, eller en stor smoothie

Melk -Jeg bruker mandel melk
1 neve frossen blomkål
1 neve frossne bringebær
1/2 frossen banan
1 neve spinat
1 toppet ss 100% bakekakao
Eventuelt tilsatt søtning - stevia, agave, honning, eller sukker for de som ønsker det
1/3 av en avokado


Ha først i melken, og deretter i resten av ingrediensene i blenderen. For noen vil det smake bedre med litt mindre bakekakao. Personelig liker jeg smoothien skikkelig mørk, som en 70 % mørk sjokolade. Så smak dere frem til deres favoritt. Hvor mye melk du bruker, avhenger av hvor tykk du vil ha smoothien. smak deg frem til den konsistensen du liker best.


Top smoothien med frø, litt nøtter, granola, eller noen bær.

Håper du lar der inspirere til å prøve en grønnsaks smoothie!

My new morning routine is this nutrition bomb, with one special ingredient, you never would have guessed.
I love to experiment with new smoothie recipes, and often get inspired when I check out smoothies on new health spots in NYC, LA or Miami. I wonder how many blenders I bought in the last years of traveling. Im completely in need of a good blender, as I drink smoothie almost every day.


The inspiration for this superfood smoothie, came after I had a smoothie at Pure green in NYC. At first I was a little sceptic, but the smoothie was really good!
So I decided trying to make a similar one at home.


One of the key ingredient is actually cauliflower, yep you read right.. It might sound a bit gross at first, but honestly you can’t even taste it!
I love to use frozen veggies in my smoothies, and the cauliflower is one of my new favorites to use. The cauliflower is so good for us, its full of iron. Especially us, women are often low in iron during our period.



You need -For two small, or one big smoothie

Milk -I use Almond milk
1 handfull frozen cauliflower
1 handfull rasperries
1/2 frozen banana
1 handfull spinach
1 topped tbs 100% cacao powder
Sweetner if needed - Stevia, agave, etc
1/3 avocado


You do

First add the milk, then the rest of the ingredients to the blender . For some people it taste better with less cacao powder.
Personally I like a really dark chocolate flavor, like a 70% dark chocolate. How much milk you decide to use, depends on how thick you like your smoothie.
Taste during the making so you get it your way.


Top your smoothie with some almonds, seeds granola, or fresh berries if you like.


Hope you get inspired to try out a veggie smoothie!

Easter omelette - Protein style

Påsken er for meg er en av de beste høytidene å feire i Norge. Jeg er oppvokst med egg i kjørleskapet, og har de beste minnene med egg til helgefrokosten, eller etter skitur på fjellet i påsken. Pappa lagde alltid de beste omelettene til oss da vi var små, proppfull av godsaker! Jeg er dessverre ikke i Norge i påsken i år, men det betyr ikke at jeg ikke kan lage favoritt påske frokosten her i NYC.


For meg er egg et must å ha i kjøleskapet. Du kan tilberede dem på så utrolig mange måter. 
Omelett kan man servere til både frokost, lunsj og middag. Også kan man putte oppi det man har av godsaker, eller rester fra kjøleskapet. 


Alle som kjenner meg godt, vet at jeg er sterkt imot å kaste mat. Jeg sparer alltid på rester og lager noe digg ut av det dagen derpå, eller fryser det ned. Jeg oppfordrer alle til å kaste mindre mat! I USA kaster de hele 30-40% av maten de kjøper, vi nordmenn har nok en litt annen mentalitet. De verdiene kommer jeg alltid til å ha med meg videre uansett hvor irriterende det kan være for de rundt meg. -Jeg her ingen skam ved å spørre om en doggy bag for de minste restene! Jeg inspireres daglig av @radicalbroccoli jentene som viser et stort engasjement blant annet rundt dette temaet.


I omeletten beskrevet her, har jeg brukt flere eggehviter enn hele egg. Mesteparten av fettet i egget sitter i den gule delen og der sitter også alle de viktigste næringsstoffene som er veldig bra for oss. Et egg har nesten alle næringsstoffene vi trenger i løpet av en dag, - A, B, D, E og K. Den hvite delen har et mer konsentrert innhold av protein. Egg er også rik på mineraler og inneholder både jern, kalsium, natrium, kalium magnesium, fosfor, sink og selen. Så, spis mer egg! 


Hovedgrunnen til at jeg ikke bruker alle plommene i eggene, er rett og slett fordi jeg vil ha et protein basert måltid, særlig rett før en treningsøkt. 
Dette kan du selv justere, ettersom hvor sulten du er.


Du trenger 

Olje - jeg bruker oliven olje
4 økologiske egg - doble oppskriften for 2 pers
1/2 Rødløk, eller annen løk
1 neve Sopp
1/2 Paprika
1/3 Squash
30 gr parmesan ost
Din favoritt topping, jeg liker avokado. 
Salt 
Pepper. 
Gressløk, eller andre urter



Slik gjør du:

Skjær opp alle grønnsakene til omeletten. Ha litt olje i en stekepanne, og tilsett løken. Stek løken til den er gylden og ha deretter grønnsakene. Stek alle grønnsakene til de er gyldne. Mix sammen 2 eggehviter med parmesan osten, ha deretter i eggehvite blandingen og 2 hele egg i stekepannen med grønnsakene. Sett stekeplaten på svak varme, sett på en oppvask eller dekk på bordet mens du venter. Steketiden avhenger alltid av hva slags stekepanne du bruker. Jeg pleier bare å sjekke litt innimellom. Noen liker at eggene er litt jelly, men jeg liker dem best gjennomstekte. Når hele omeletten er stiv, er den ferdig og du kan ha over gressløken. 


Hvis jeg har avokado i kjøleskapet, digger jeg å dele opp litt avokado som topping. Håper det smaker!


Håper alle får en herlig påske, enten det er bypåske, ved stranden, eller på fjellet!

Easter is for me one of the best traditions to celebrate in Norway. I grow up with eggs for breakfast, and have the best memories of easter breakfast before skiing or a late brunch while celebrating easter with my family in the mountains. . My dad made the best omelettes to us, full of goodies! Unfourthently In not in Norway this easter, but that dosent mean I can’t make my fave easter omelette here In NYC.


In my opinion eggs are one of the musts haves for any fridge, you can prepare them in so many different ways. You can serve omelette for breakfast, lunch or even dinner and add whatever goodies or leftovers you have from the fridge.


Everyone who knows me well, knows that I’m strongly against throwing food to waste. I always save leftovers and make something yummy out of it the next day, or freeze it. I encourage everyone to try to throw away less food! In the United States 30-40% of the food goes to waste. In Norway we are a lot better, I guess we have another mentality. I will always keep those values, no matter how annoying it seems for the people around me. -I have no shame asking for a doggy bag, even for the smallest left overs! I get inspired daily from the @radicalbroccoli girls, who shows a huge engagement in exactly those things.


In this omelette I used more egg whites, then full eggs with yolks. Most of the fat is in the yellow part of the egg, also the most important nutritions who is really good for us are in the yolk. One egg have almost all the nutritions we need on a daily basis vitamin -A, B, D, E and K. The white part is more concentrated protein. Eggs are also rich in minerals, including iron, kalsium, natrium, kalium and magnesium, fosfor, sink and selen. So eat more eggs guys!


The main reason why I don’t use all the yolks for this omelette, is only because I want to have a high protein based meal before my workout. This is something you can adjust yourself, based on how hungry you are.



What you need

Oil - I use olive oil
4 organic eggs - double up if making for 2
1/2 Red onion
1 handfull Mushrooms
1/2 Pepper
1/3 Zucchini
30 gram parmesan cheese
Your favorite topping, I like avokado
Salt
Pepper
Any herbs



How you do it

Cut all the veggies for the omelette. Have some oil in the pan, and add the onion. Fri the onion until its golden, and then add the rest of the veggies. Fri the rest of the veggies with the onion until they are golden.


Mix together 2 egg whites with the parmesan cheese, and then add the egg white mixture and the 2 full eggs into the pan with the veggies. Now put the pan on low temp, do some dishes or get the table ready while you wait. The waiting time depends a bit on your pan, Im always checking in between.


Someone likes the eggs to be a bit jelly, I prefer them completely fried. When the omelette is getting hard, it is ready and you can have over the herbs and spices. If I have an avocado in my fridge, I love adding it as a topping.
Hope you like it!

Hope you all have a great easter, in the city, on the beach or in the mountains!

Grilled Scampi w Parmesan/Califlower mash

Om sommeren er det deilig med lette middager, spesielt med varmen nå i sommer frister det mer med salater og lett mat fra havet. Jeg er ikke spesielt fan av reker, har prøvd å like det i mange år, men egentlig gitt opp. 

Scampi derimot, elsker jeg!. Det handler kanskje om måten det er tilbredt på.. Masse hvitløk og chilli, mmm.. Ja, takk! Det eneste som tar tid med dette måltidet er scampien som må tines, med mindre man kjøper den fersk.

Dette trenger du for 2 pers ;

400 gr Scampi
5-6 Fedd hvitløk
1 Chilli
1 Stor blomkål
Olivenolje
Smør
1 Squash
Parmesan ost
Lime
Koriander
Salt og pepper

Mariner scampien med 2 ss olivenolje, salt, pepper, 1 finhakket chilli, litt revet limeskall og 4 fedd hvitløk. Jeg liker masse hvitløk, så kan hende 2 fedd holder for de som ikke liker for sterk hvitløk smak. Sett scampien i kjørleskapet og la den marinere, jo lenger jo bedre. Hvis du har dårlig tid, er det heller ikke krise om du ikke rekker denne prosessen, da kan du ha scampien direkte i stekepannen med litt olje, hvitløk og chilli. 

Skjær opp blomkålen i litt mindre biter, sett på en kjele med vann og ha oppi blomkålen når vannet koker. Kok blomkålen til den er myk.

Hell av vannet og la blomkålen ligge og holde seg varm i kjelen.

Stek scampien på relativt høy varme i 3-4 minutter, den skal ikke kokes! 

Skru ned varmen og ha oppi squashen. Jeg bruker et redskap som heter spirelli, men hvis du ikke har dette kan du bruke en osteriver. Squashen skal ikke stekes, bare varmes litt sammen med scampien. La scampien og squashen holdes varm under ett lokk til resten av middagen er klar. 

Tilbake til blomkålen. Ha oppi 2 fedd hvitløk, 1 ss smør eller olje og 50 gr raspet parmesan ost. Kjør blomkålen i en food prosessor eller med en stavmikser til den er jevn og fin pure. Tilsett til slutt salt og pepper.

Topp retten med litt koriander og fersk limejuice.

Håper det smaker!

During summer its nicer with light dinners, especially with the heat now these days, it’s more tempting with salads or light food from the sea. I’m not a huge fan of prawns, I have tried to like it for many years, but honestly I have given up. Shrimp on the other hand, I love! It may be about the way it is prepared. Lots of garlic and chilli, yum yes, please! The only thing that takes time with this dish is that the shrimp must be thawed, unless you buy it fresh.

This is what you need for 2 servings:

400 gr shrimp
5-6 cloves of garlic
1 chili
1 large cauliflower
olive oil
butter
1 squash
parmesan cheese
lime
cilantro
Salt and pepper

Marinate the scampi with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, 1 chopped chilli, slightly grated lime and 4 cloves of garlic. I like loads of garlic, so 2 cloves is enough for those who don’t like too strong garlic taste. Put the shrimp in the refrigerator and let it marinate, the longer the better. If you don’t have time, it’s ok to skip this process, then you just put the shrimp directly in the frying pan with some oil, garlic and chili.

Cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces, boil water and put the cauliflower in when its boiling hot. Boil the cauliflower until it is soft.

Pour out the water and leave the cauliflower in the bowl with a lid on to keep it warm.

Stir the shrimp on relatively high temperature for about 3-4 minutes, do not cook it!

Turn down the heat and add the squash. I use a tool called spirelli, but if you do not have this you can use an grater. Do not cook the squash, just heat it up with the shrimp. Leave the shrimp and the squash under a lid until the rest of the dinner is ready.

Back to the cauliflower. Sprinkle 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese. Run the cauliflower in a food processor until it is smooth and fine. Finally add salt and pepper.

Top the dish with some cilantro and fresh lime juice.

Hope you like it!

Selfmade Oven Rosted Chicken

I sommer har jeg kost meg på kjøkkenet og eksperimentert mye. Jeg elsker ovnsbakte retter. Spesielt i en travel hverdag er det perfekt med mat som gjør seg selv i oven, imens du vasker, rydder eller jobber med andre ting! Her kan du slenge dine favoritt grønnsaker i en ildfast form med litt olivenolje og havsalt, eller bare det du har i grønnsaksskuffen. Bruk fantasien!

For to personer:

400 gram Kylling – som jeg toppet med litt pesto og Serrano skinke
4 store sopp, som jeg fylte med deilig jalapeno-ost.
1 stor rødløk som jeg finhakket
Et par fedd hvitløk (for smakens skyld)
1 hel squash
noen mini tomater
1 hel paprika

Alle ovner har forskjellig steketid, men jeg liker å steke på 175 grader midt i ovnen. Det er alltid lurt å ta ut kyllingen og sjekke om den er gjennomstekt. Ved siden av er det superdigg med kokt ris, eller quinoa med soyasaus! Denne retten er super lett i magen i sommervarmen, også perfekt med noe varmt i kroppen på en kald høstværs dag etter for eksempel en skogstur.

Mmmm, Yummy in my tummy. Håper det smaker!

This summer I have been having lots of fun in the kitchen and experimenting a lot. I love oven baked dishes. Especially on a busy day, it’s perfect with food that makes itself. Here you can throw your favorite vegetables in the oven with a little olive oil and sea salt, or use whatever veggies you may have left in your fridge! Use your imagination!

 

For two people: 

400 grams of chicken – topped with pesto and Serrano ham
4 mushrooms, which I filled with delicious jalapeño cheese
1 big red onion – chopped
2 whole cloves of garlic (just for the taste)
1 whole squash
a few mini tomatoes
1 whole bell pepper

 

All ovens have different cooking times, but I like to cook at 175 degrees celsius in the middle of the oven. It is always important to double check if the chicken is cooked or not. This dish is perfect accompanied by rice or quinoa with some soy sauce. It is also super easy for your digestion in the summer heat and perfect as dinner after a long hike in the woods in crispy autumn weather.

Mmmm, Yummy in my tummy. Hope you enjoy it!
