You might call me crazy but if I would have choose one thing to eat every day for the rest of my life, this would be it. Yep, meatballs with creamed macaroni and grated carrots, the best comfort food ever!

How to (For 2 people):

1. Boil the macaroni until tender. (I used whole grain macaronis and it tasted just as good as with the regular ones.)
2. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a sauce pan.
3. Add 2 tbsp flour and stir.
4. Add 2 dl milk, a little at a time and let it boil up while stirring.
5. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Pour the sauce over the macaronis (without the water of course) and stir.

Eat. 

Breakfast - Monday

Mediterranean bread read rolls with cream cheese and smoked turkey breast + vanilla rhubarb tea.

Dinner - Saturday



Veggie wok - quorn, broccoli, bell pepper, carrots and onion. Served with Rice + soy and sweet chili sauce.
Quorn is something that I really like, it's perfect if you're not in the mood for a heavy piece of meat. Some people think that it tastes like chicken but I don't really agree, sure, it is originally a substitute for chicken but I think it deserves some more attention!

Snack - Saturday



Ever since this little tiny thing moved in to my pantry last week,  nothing has remained the same. I guess you could say that he makes me complete.
Or well, atleast he makes my smoothies taste great...

(Smoothie made from mango, papaya and pineapple + quark and milk. Raspberries and granola on top)

Lunch - Saturday

This was originally a chèvre salad but since I prefer brie (as you might have understood by now) I decided to modify the recipe a bit. You can find the original recipe right here!

However, these are the ingredients that I used:
Brie cheese
mixed salad
sundried tomatoes in oil
red onion
black olives
cucumber
red bell pepper
baby plum tomatoes
walnuts
salt flakes and black pepper

Breakfast - Saturday



Scoooones! 
Probably one of the best things you can have for breakfast but maybe not the healthiest... I actually tried a new recipe today with quark+ less butter instead of the regular milk+butter and wow, it made them soo much more succulent! This is definitely my new favorite scone recipe.

Ingredients (3 regular sized scones)

2 dl wheat flour 
0.25 tsp salt 
2 teaspoon baking powder 
25 grams butter
125 grams quark

Set the oven at 225 ° C.

Mix all dry ingredients. Add butter and knead the dough with your fingers so until it's crumbly. Add the quark and mix. (I added a few teaspoons of semi skimmed milk as well because I thought the dough was a bit dry.)

Divide the dough into 3 pieces and shape into balls. I put mine in muffin cups but you can use regular oven paper as well. Bake for 10 minutes!

Serve with cream cheese/butter/clotted cream/marmalade/jam or whatever you like!

Dinner - Friday


Yesterday it was my mom's birthday so tonight we went to a nice restaurant and then the theater to celebrate her.
I decided to go for something safe, pasta with pork fillet in a creamy sauce and oh my god, I can tell you, it was delicious!

Snack - Friday


Today we had a huge test which means that we were allowed to bring something sweet in order to keep our blood sugar levels up. Since I love oreos I brought some of these but I left the milk at home though... Well, at the moment I'm eating some of leftover oreos with a cup of this new kind of tea. It was actually really good, I bet it's has something to do with the fact that it is super ecological, fairtrade, you name it... Right..?

Dinner - Thursday

Assorted stuff from the deli. Chicken kebab, roasted beets, brie cheese (of course), melon, bell pepper and baby plum tomatoes.

Snack - Thursday



Rye bread with Crème Bonjour and bell pepper + chocolate balls and a cup of vanilla rhubarb tea.

Today's lunch in school. According to the menu this was supposed to be some kind of Thai chicken with cocos. It wasn't very thai-ish but pretty good anyway. Served with rice a bean salad(?) and grated carrots.

Breakfast - Thursday


I know the blog isn't very funny right now but this have been an extremely busy week so that's why. Hopefully I'll be able to have something a bit more exciting than sandwiches and tea for breakfast this weekend! If so, I will definitely share the recipes with you!
However, today I had rye bread with cream cheese and cucumber + a glass of milk and a cup of tea.
