I love this dessert. It’s “Gooey chocolate cake” with berries and whipped cream.
I bought the cake this time because this one tastes just as delicious as if you would have made it yourself. The chocolate cake is, like the name says, a gooey cake. It’s chewy and very delicious!
If you want to bake it I think the best thing would be to make a fondant cake. I will make it sometime but if there’s any chocolate addict out there that can’t wait that’s what you can do until then. Yummy!
This is a wonderful dish. It’s cheese filled tortellini and tomatoe sauce. I love pasta and a rich sauce. This is just that.
I boiled “dried” cheese filled tortellini and broccoli for a couple of minutes. After I had removed (I know there’s a word for that – drained?) the water from the pan I added tinned tomatoes, milk and cream to the tortellini and broccoli. I let it boil on low heat for a while.
In a oven tin I put peppers, tomatoes and onions. I added the tortellini and tomatoes. I baked it in the oven at 200 C for 20 minutes.
Tasty!
I would like to mention a little something we all probably have said or been told. The “you haven`t tried mine” thing. For instance, I don`t like carrot cake. I told a friend and she said that I would if I “tried hers”. No I wouldn`t! Carrot cake is carrot cake and I think it`s disgusting.
When someone says “try mine” you know what`s coming. You have to sit at that person`s table and eat that cake or dish you don`t like. You have to force yourself to eat it and then say you like it. I never got to try my friend`s cake because she moved away and I`m happy with that (not that she moved but that no carrot cake had to be forced down). I know I wouldn`t have liked it. I`ve tried many of these cakes and no one has made me change my mind.
Salmon is something else I don`t eat. I`ve had to sit through many dinners pretending to have changed my mind when it comes to salmon. I don`t want to offend the host and I eat even though it makes me feel sick. They know my thoughts on that fish but I have to “try theirs”. I take as little salmon as possible and then I push it around the plate and leave as much as I can. As much as I can without offending anyone. I`ve never had both salmon and carrot cake at the same dinner but I know that day will come. Someone will say “I`ve made my salmon and carrot cake I said you would like”. I will smile and say I like it!
I had a healthier fish and chips today. I baked fish fingers and potatoes in the oven. The fish fingers were made of filets of cod which tasted good. Some fish fingers contains fish and things that shouldn’t be there.
I bought the potatoes but it’s easy to make healthy french fries yourself. Cut potatoes in pieces and mix them with a little bit of oil and bake them in the oven. These potatoes I made today are delicious and only have a little bit of oil on them.
I think many vegetables this time of year don’t taste much. I often serve them cooked cause they taste better that way. Today I mixed peppers, tomatoes and cabbage with oil and baked them in the oven with the fish.
In Sweden we have a sauce that’s called “Cucumer sauce” which is perfect with fish. It’s essentially pickled cucumber with mayo. I often, like today, eat it with fish.
Delicious.
I think every country has dishes that sounds crazy. Today we had “fish balls”. It makes no sense to name a dish that way. In Sweden we think of it like meat balls but with fish. It’s minced fish mixed with other things.
Often these balls (it sounds even crazier when you don’t put “fish” in front of that word) are cooked in a pan on the stove served with boiled potatoes. Today I decided to cook them a little different. I baked them in the oven mixed with sugar snaps. I served them with oven baked potatoes. This was tasty!
I don’t know how to make them cause I buy them but I think you begin with making a paté from fish. Then you boil them.
Delicious.
-Honey we only have too many bananas left!
-You can never have too many bananas left.
All these bananas this household buys. We don’t like them that much and still there is always a bunch of them around.
This is a favourite dish of ours. I call it minced pancake. It’s pancakes filled with bolognese sauce. It’s delicious and easy to make. I buy the pancakes because it’s easier.
I make the bolognese sauce a little bit “drier” than usual otherwise it’s hard to make the dish. I cook the minced beef in a pan with onions, tomato puree, salt, pepper and a little bit of cream. To make 5 minced pancakes I use 500 g minced beef.
Fill the pancakes with the sauce and “roll” them together. Place them in a oven tin. I put tomatoes and cheese on top because that makes them taste even better.
Bake them in the oven at 200 C until the cheese melts.
I love omelettes. You can put whatever you want in them and they are easy to make. I usually make mine with bacon cause it tastes good!
I think omelettes are my favourite dish when it comes to “quick meals”. After a long day at your job you (probably) don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen cooking. For me it’s stressful to know I have to be stuck in the kitchen cooking something time consuming then eat and then doing the dishes!
This omelette is a meatball omelette. I had meatballs in the freezer and put them, peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms in the pan along with, of course, eggs.
Delicious.
I almost never know what to eat for my evening meal. I go through all the kitchen drawers for something easy to make. I would like to make some tasty, somewhat healthty, snacks but it always ends up being some unhealthy cake on my plate.
Today I made an effort (!) and pulled out the toaster. My evening snack, thanks to the big effort, ended up being toasted rhye bread with tomatoes and cheese.
Simple and easy deliciousness.
Simple I know.
One of my first world problems used to be hot chocolate. I always have cream in my chocolate and I used to whip it. The problem with that was that the whipped cream never lasted long enough. You had the delicious taste of cream and chocolate in the beginning and then just chocolate.
Now I have found the perfect hot chocolate! I don’t whip the cream. Instead I mix it with the milk in the mug. I get the creamy taste all the way.
My perfect chocolate consists of 2/3 milk and 1/3 cream. I “boil” the mixture in the microwave. Then I add 1 teaspoon sugar and 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder. I think the hot chocolate powder you buy is too sweet. By making your own you can decide how sweet you want it.
