Mug cake

2 Comments

I have to eat in the evening. I can’t skip that meal. They say breakfast is the most important meal but for me evening meals are just as important. With that said I find it hard to know what to make. I almost always eat sandwiches but that bores me after a while.

That’s why I’m happy I have found mugcakes! I have seen mugcake recepies before but they have all been a celebration of all unhealthy things. This mugcake is not the most healthy thing you can eat but it’s healthy enough for me.

Mugcakes are what it sounds like, a cake in a mug. You make the batter in a mug and then you bake the batter in the mug in a microwave. East!

Blueberry muffin mugcake.

Ingredients:

4 tbsp flour

2 tbsp sugar

1/8 tsp baking powder

1/16 tps baking soda 

3 tbsp milk

10 blueberries (I used frozen)

Mix all the ingredients in an microwave “proven” mug.

Streusel.

1 tbsp cold butter

1,5 tbsp flour

1,5 tbsp sugar

1,4 tsp vanilla extract (I used powder)

Mix the ingredients in a bowl. “Pour” it over the blueberry mixture and put the mug in the microwave. The recepy said to bake at 1200 W for 1 minute. Our microwave only has 750 W and I baked the muffin for 1,5 minutes.

My dog

I went to “My dog” this week. It`s an annual dog expo.

20170105_123834The expo is lovely and it`s all about dogs. You can find everything there. The best thing for me is that there are dogs everywhere you go. Most of them are there to be showcased (I don`t know if that`s the right word). There are all kinds of dogs. All sizes.

The big dog wanted to do just about everything else but walk around in that ring.

I love to buy these things (blurry picture I know).

Mom didn`t take me with her.

Kajsa couldn`t come with me because she gets stressed out. It`s wild in there with all the dogs and people and even I think it can get too much. She got toys though and I think she was happy about that. I could have bought much more than I did however I had to stop spending money after a while. It`s easy to get carried away there.

I hope this year will bring you happiness and all the things you want. I hope this year will be the year where I hopefully will feel better. I have gone through crazy things these last few years when it comes to my depression but I have finally gotten in contact with a doctor that seems to know what he`s doing. I am going to tell you about this journey later.

I haven`t made any new year`s resolutions to myself, which I never do anyway, because I can`t keep them. One thing I will try though is to cut down on my sugar intake. I have done it before and I will try my hardest to do it again. I got inspired by a blogger that is struggling to quit sugar. I have actually succeeded to do it before, which I never thought I would. For me, candy is my biggest weakness when it comes to sugar. I eat candy because I like it and also when I`m hungry or bored. Sometimes I eat chocolate instead of a sandwich because I`m too lazy to make it, and it`s crazy. And when I`m bored I eat candy to keep me busy.

Happy new year.

-Mom I don`t care that it`s a new year.

-Every year is a Kajsa year.

Cutest

Kajsa got a fur cut today. I do her fur and even though I like her with a lot of it I have to cut it from time to time. If I didn`t do it she would look like a sheep. A cute sheep.

20161229_175831-Mom I am only half the girl I used to be now that you have cut my fur.

-I feel naked.

 

Christmas

Leave a comment

I hope you had a wonderful christmas! We had a relaxing one. Christmas lately has been about food and family and not so much about gifts. We have reduced the number of christmas gifts drastically and to not have to buy things to everyone has made it easier. For instance I only buy gifts for my mom. My aunts only buy gifts for their husbands and children and so on. I remember how it was before when I raced around town to find things to buy. Some are not the easiest to buy for and more than ones I ended up with buying just for the sake of buying which means crap gifts. I also waited until the last minute which was stressful in itself.

For me christmas has become more of a food event. Before I thought “lets get food out of the way and lets open our gifts”. Now I like the food more. Because I don`t eat many things on the traditional christmas table I have added some foods that I like. I always make porkribs and a brusselsproutstew.

This year I also made applepie.

Buying

20161221_154453-Honey we`ve only got three litres of milk left. I don`t know if that`s enough to last until tomorrow.

Haha. There`s two of us and no one actually drink milk. Again, that`s what happens when everyone just buy things without asking what needs to be bought.

Herring

There`s a commercial on tv where someone comes to Sweden from another country to celebrate christmas. Because of that the family in Sweden replaces some of the food they normally serve at christmas. They replace it with food that`s eaten in the guest`s country.

First I have to say that I`m not upset or anything like that by that commercial. And second, I know the family does this as an act of kindness as well as show respect for another country and the traditions there. (And I know it`s only a commercial). It got me thinking though. If I were to celebrate christmas abroad I would like to eat what they normally do. I would never expect to get swedish dishes and honestly I would prefer not to. I eat swedish christmas food every year and it would be more than great to try something else. I sometimes spend christmas in Austria where my dad lives and I like that they just serve their traditional dishes. It`s like when people travel to other countries for their vacation. Many always choose their home countries food, if it`s available, from the menue.

In Sweden we eat a lot of different food at christmas. One thing that many consider to be the most important one on the christmas table is pickled herring. I think it`s disgusting. If you`ve never heard of it, it`s raw fish in vinegar. It tastes like………raw fish and vinegar. What I mean is that I would never not serve the herring if a guest from another country would spend christmas at our place.20161221_175730

Christmas is stressful for us dogs. All that shopping and decorating makes us tired. I have to tell my family how to decorate all the time. And don’t get me started on how much I have to help them with the christmas gifts.
