Hello and happy Saturday. Hope your weekend is good. Today I want to share the recipe for a tasty, summery, yellow sunshine soup, made of sweet corn 🌽 zucchini/ squash, coconut milk and fresh turmeric root. I love soups, even in the summer. This one is light and fresh and can even be consumed cold if you have any leftovers. The corn will soon be ready to harvest - and that's by the way one of my favourite things to go harvest at the near-by farm. Grilled, freshly picked sweet corn is sooo good. Freshly pickled corn can even be eaten raw. It's sweet and delicious. So, if you, like me, love picking sweet corn you should definitely try this yellow sunshine soup. You can even use leftover corn after bbq or if you cook a few extra corn. ...
Instant sunshine popsicles ☀️
Peppermint-Melissa tea popsicles with Caramelised kumquat Wow! How cool is that?!? To make popsicles of tea made from your own homegrown garden herbs!! I love herbal tea made of peppermint and Melissa - it’s fresh, cooling and uplifting. It works perfect both as warm tea and ice tea, so if you have some leftovers after making tea in your tea pot, don’t throw it away! And as a bonus melissa and peppermint both have some wonderful medical properties. Soothing, calming, antibacterial, supporting digestion and so on. So, I got this idea it might be yummy to make iced tea popsicles. I had a few kumquat from my friends greenhouse and I wanted to use these for something fun. Citrus are all uplifting and works as instant sunshine. So this ...
Eco friendly palm leaf plates
God 1. August! Happy August 1st. I love the month of August. It's both summer and early fall. August always comes with blank, fresh pages to fill in and feels like a fresh start. I'm having a few days off - like really off. Just recharging, breathing fresh air, enjoying the view, crocheting, planning for new projects, new recipes and new ideas for the blog. But somehow during my day off I did some shopping that made me kinda excited. I usually don't write "shopping related " articles here on my blog, and this post is not an advertisement (!) I just write about the stuff I found because it made me happy and excited. If you click on the pictures and buy the products listed below I'll get a small affiliate percentage. (Affiliate ...

Gardeners Peppermint tea. 🌱 (and how to easily dry your garden herbs)
Peppermint tea made of real peppermint leaves from the garden is one of my all time favourites. ❤️ Peppermint isn't just tasty and have a wonderful aroma and scent it also has soothing and cooling effects it helps digestion and makes you feel more comfortable after eating a heavy meal. And if you wonder why people of Northern Africa drink sweet, warm peppermint tea during the warmest days, I can tell you; peppermint is cooling and the warm beverage makes the body absorb the water and liquid more easily... and if you sweeten the tea using for example honey you'll have a little boost of energy during the day... specially after lunch ... So, my favourite peppermint tea is made of peppermint leaves from the garden. You can use fresh ...
Van Life
Noen av dere som leser denne bloggen vet at vintage folkevogn og van life med gammel hippiebuss er en del av livet i familien hos oss. Noen har sikkert også fulgt med vår vw t2 «bønna» det året han var på tur gjennom Europa, fra Oslo, via Sverige, Danmark, Berlin, Praha, Østerrrike til Garda i Italia. (Vil du lese om turen finnes det en rekke reisebrev her ) Men det har kommet til mange nye blogglesere siden det og ikke alle kjenner Jarle og meg og bilen «bønna», så jeg tenkte det kunne være morsomt å skrive en liten introduksjon. Jarle og Gudrun ble kjærester i mai 2013. Vi hadde lyst til å fylle livene våre med ting vi liker, med glede, kjærlighet og opplevelser... slik kom vår grønne t2 ambulanse fra 1969 inn i bildet. Jeg elsker ...
The best homegrown, homemade basil pesto
Today I'll share a super good recipe on homemade basil pesto. Pesto is one of my all time favourite sauces, it's soooo easy to make, you can use it along with "all kinds" of dishes and you can use different kinds of basil, oregano, parsley, cilantro, Thai basil, ruccola or whatever ... by the way; did you know there are SO many types of basil?! The " normal " basil we buy in the shop is often times with round, soft leaves and "leafy ", mild taste. But there are lemon basil, cinnamon basil, red basil, Thai basil, Thai chilli basil, holy basil (tulsi) For the pesto we made at my friends house the other day, we picked several different types of basil in her greenhouse and garden . So, without further ado here is the very best homemade ...
Canned Yellow hot chilli peppers 💥
🇳🇴👇🏻 Chilli peppers are some amazing and stunning "fruits" and plants. They come in sooo many different types and shapes and colors ... I'm always stunned when I realise there are even more chillies out there I even didn't know existed. Now, I have this wonderful friend and neighbor - and almost every summer I get the pleasure and honour of looking after her garden and greenhouse when she's off for vacation. Her greenhouse is filled with tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and chilli of all kinds. Needless to say I looove soaking in all this borrowed goodness. And even better; she is the kindest and most generous person I know .... so she tells me I need pick veggies and herbs and flowers and chilli 🌶 while "babysitting " the ...
