I know I’m addicted to carbs. I get carb cravings often. I could go without most food ingredients but not carbs. Pasta is my biggest addiction. On lazy days I eat just pasta to dinner. On more normal days I make some effort. Then I put some salt and pepper on the pasta.

Today I made pasta bolognese. I feel proud I made a whole dinner for once. I find bolognese sauce with minced beef wonderful. I don’t eat meat often however minced beef is my favorite kind of meat. I fried the minced beef with onions. I added cabbage and peppers. I added the vegetables cause I wanted more substance. I know that’s not what you normally put in a bolognese but I longed for these vegetables. After a while I added tomatoes, salt, pepper, cream and milk. I served it with my favorite pasta.

The dinner suggestion of the day pasta bolognese.

It tasted lots better than it seems.

Sometimes I manage to make a dinner that I didn’t think would taste as good as it did. You know when you put together many ingredients and you don’t know how it will taste . Today I made this kind of dinner and it was more than good. Oven cooked bacon and fresh pasta in a tin.

I fried sliced bacon in a pan until it became crispy . I always cook bacon a bit before I put it in the oven. You get that yummy texture and you know that the bacon is cooked. Raw bacon is not good.

In an oven tin I put fresh pasta. I always use fresh pasta when I’m doing pasta dinners that has to do with the oven. You don’t have to boil fresh pasta before you put it in the oven and that makes everything smoother.

I added the bacon to the pasta. I also added sugar snap peas, butter, sliced carrots, milk, salt and pepper. I also put some cheese on it.

I baked it in the oven at 200 C for 20 minutes.

It tasted better than the mess in the picture.

I love vegetarian food. Vegetarian doesn’t mean I don’t eat any animal products. Vegetarian food for me is to not eat meat or fish but eggs and milk are included. I do eat meat and fish but sometimes I want to clean my body from that. Haha hope you know what I mean!

I love most vegetables, lentils and grains and that helps when it comes to cooking vegetarian food. I have been a full time vegetarian a couple of times in my life. Then I ate lots of lentils and those things to get protein in my diet. Now I don’t have to but I do enjoy lentils and beans.

Today I made a vegetarian casserole. I put everything in the casserole. I fried red cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, onion and garlic in plant based butter. I added salt, pepper, tomatoe puree, milk and cream. I served it with rice. Use plant based milk and cream instead and you got a vegan dinner. Yummy.

I can’t eat onion. I can but my bowls get crazy. When I eat it often I get sick. I love to use onion when I cook but I have to think about how often I have eaten it before I cook that day.

I try to eat vegetarian all the time and I think onions makes vegetarian dishes tastier. Or I think onions makes all dishes, vegetarian or no vegetarian, better. I love the taste of onions. Because my bowls can’t take onions I’ve had to find substitutes for it. A substitute that works well are olives. They can’t replace onions but I like the saltiness of the olives. Omelettes are one of my favorite things to eat. I like bacon in omelettes but when I want a veggie one I’ve used onions before. Now I’ve used olives instead for a while and I don’t miss onions.

This omelette has olives, tomatoes, sugar snaps and peppers in it. I used green olives cause I think they’re tastier.

-Honey we only got 10 vegetarian schnitzels!

-The ones we don’t like?

-Those ones!

-We have to buy more now!

We don’t eat these schnitzels but someone bought them cause they were on sale. Someone…… not me.

-Honey we only got 37 eggs!

I don’t know how to cook them all. I don’t eat eggs all the time and 37 eggs will last a long time.

I didn`t know there were all this types of pancakes. I thought there were the crèpe, swedish pancake, and the american with baking powder. The swedish pancake is like a crèpe. It`s flat and thin. The american pancake is thicker. Anyway there are lots of pancakes.

I like the swedish pancake more than the american. It`s the baking powder in the american I don`t like. I had it when I had brunch long ago and I thought it would taste wonderful. I was disappointed. I think my preference when it comes to food is that it should taste mild and I only like the things I liked when I was younger. Limiting I know.

I never use a recipe when it comes to pancakes. I began going by the smell of the batter to know it was the way it should. Now I`ve made it many times and know how it should be. I couldn`t write about pancakes and not leave any explanation on how to make them. Because of that I tried to think about how much I use of the ingredients.

8 pancakes makes two servings and for that I used

50 gr melted butter (heartattack waiting to happen it’s lots)

4 eggs 

7 dl milk

4 dl flour

Mix all ingredients. The texture should be like a white sauce.

Even with the enormous amount of butter in the batter I put additional butter in the pan for every pancake I make. Every pancake should fill the whole bottom of the pan.

Eat them with jam and whipped cream.

I know the feeling. You come home late and the idea of spending time in the kitchen cooking……no! You only want something quick to eat.

I have had that feeling many times. Every time I come home after a long day I never cook anything complicated. Often I buy pizza or pick out processed food from the freezer that cooks fast. Often I only eat sandwiches but that don’t fill me up. Processed food is fine once in a while but not all the time.

I’m happy I’ve found something rather healthy to eat and it takes no time to cook. Ceasar salad. It’s from Dole. It’s called Ceasar kit and contains sliced salad, crutons, sauce and parmesan cheese. I think you can find it almost everywhere.

I buy cooked chicken at the deli counter to make it into the ceasar in the salad. You don’t have to use chicken anything goes with it. I think everything is tasty in the ceasar kit other than the parmesan cheese. It tastes like feet. The salad doesn’t lack in flavor because I don’t eat the cheese.
