caesar roasted broccoli with orzo
Caesar roasted broccoli with whole-wheat orzo and almonds is one of the easiest dinners you’ll ever make! Easter is one of my favourite times of year.

Tangy yoghurt and frozen peas come together in this lightened up quick and easy one-pot creamy pasta dish. Every once in a while, maybe once a year or so, I subject myself to a flurry of activity intended to move this blog forwards. I did this recently. I joined a couple of new groups on…

whole wheat spaghettini with harissa roasted cauliflower

soba noodle salad with spinach
The last weekend of May was a bright and sunny affair in Stockholm. I biked around wearing a skirt and a sleeveless top. We drank cold beers on sunny patios. Paul and I planted a little garden on our patio. I even got a touch of a sunburn one day. And then, June arrived. What…
green pea pesto ravioli
