Swedish chocolate balls or rolls, chokladbollar - recipe

When the craving for something sweet struck today, my kids and I found ourselves without any treats at home. But fear not, for I always keep baking ingredients stocked in the pantry! So, we embarked on the delightful adventure of making Swedish chocolate balls together. These delicious treats require no baking—just your hands and a bit of messy fun with the little ones!



Ingredients:
2 dl oats
50- 75 g butter
3 tbsp cacao powder
2 tsp vanilla powder
2 tbsp water or instant coffee
1 dl sugar
Sugar pearls, shredded coconut or nuts of your choice for coating


Method:
1. Begin by combining all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mixing well.
2. Add the room temperature butter to the bowl, breaking it into chunks with your hands. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture will become greasy and messy, but that's all part of the fun!
3. Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a round ball. Dip the ball into sugar pearls or your preferred coating, such as shredded coconut or chopped nuts. In Sweden, coconut is a popular choice for coating, but feel free to get creative with almond shavings or finely chopped nuts.

These Swedish chocolate balls are a delightful treat that's easy to make and even more enjoyable to eat. Perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings, whether you're young or young at heart!

Hearty chicken curry and yellow rice - recipe

Method
1. Cut the chicken breast into cubes. Dice the onion and add it to a frying pan with few tbsp of oil. Add the spices to taste, I generally use roughly a tsp of each more or less. Let the onions and spices fry on medium heat. This brings out the lovely flavours. 

2. While that happenes, chop the tomatoes, pepper and zucchini into cubes as well. Add vegetables and chicken in the frying pan and let everything become nice and golden. Add the cream and little water if to dry. Let it simmer for a good 30 mins.

Cheese straws ( toddler snack) - recipe


Cheese has become a favourite thing to eat by toddler. Especially on the morning sandwich. So I want to make something with cheese but little different, that toddler will enjoy. Came up with cheese straws. That is the quickest and easiest to bake while toddler takes noon nap. I used to bake it when he was younger. But time to reintroduce it again. It is great as a snack for him. This way, I at least know what goes in it. 

Ingredients
2 dl flour
2 dl grated cheese
1 dl butter
Egg if you like to make them little shiny

Method
1. Add butter and flour in a bowl and rub it together with your hand untilit gets crumbly. Add the cheese and work the dough until it's nice and soft. If it is sticky add more flour.

2. Roll out the dough into 0,5 cm thickness. Then cut out the straws. 

3. Place it on a baking tray with a baking sheet under. Bake in the oven at 200 , degrees, for ten mins.  When you take them out put a muslin cloth on and let them cool. Eat as is or use them to eat with a nice dip of your choice. 

4. If you want you can add half an egg in the dough, and the rest you can glaze the straws with before placing the tray in the oven. But this time I left it out. It was a great hit! Both toddler and hubby finished them.

Fried quesadillas - recipe

On weekends, we often visit various food markets, where a multitude of cuisines and an array of meals from diverse cultures are available. As a family, I opt for options that are less messy to eat.

1 small can of corn
2-3 tbsp tomato puree
2 potatoes, boiled
1/2 yellow bell pepper

Method:
1. Dice the chicken breast and sauté it in a frying pan with a few tablespoons of oil. Then, chop the peppers and onions and add them to the pan.

2. Lightly boil the potatoes and dice them. Combine the corn, tomato purée, and potatoes in a frying pan. Season with the spices mentioned previously, using anywhere from 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of each. Cook over medium heat until browned, aiming for a relatively dry consistency.


3. Spread some of the mixture onto one half of the flatbread. Fold the other half over the top. Cook in a pan until it turns golden brown and crisp.




It's delicious and satisfying, making for an excellent lunch option when paired with a green salad.

Kofta (köfta) minced meat wrap - recipe

I haven't been able to post anything for some time, but I've been feeling inspired lately and wanted to share this easy meal. Easy recipes have become essential in our household. With two kids, food needs to  be quick and require minimal effort, but still has to taste great!

While browsing the spice aisle at the supermarket, I came across a spice mix for kafta or köfte, which are meat patties. I thought, "Let's give it a try and see how it flavors the dish." So, today I grabbed the spice bag and did it. However, instead of making patties, I simply seasoned the minced meat with the spice mix as I had limited time to prepare them.


Ingredients

200 g minced beef
1 onion
1 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp kofta spice mix
1 tsp paprika powder
Oil

Serve with: onions seasoned with sumac, lettuce, tomatoes, flatbread and a minty yogurt sauce.

Method
1. Heat a frying pan with a few tablespoons of oil of your choice and fry the minced meat until browned. Add the onions and the rest of the ingredients. Continue frying until fully cooked and browned.

2. Wash and slice the tomatoes and lettuce. Serve the köfte meat mix on flatbread with the vegetables and a delicious fresh minty yogurt sauce.


The kofta spice from supermarket, Kafta (kryddor från Rosengård).

A nice and easy recipe of brownie muffins that are soft inside. Excellent activity to do with children when it's cold and rainy outside.


Ingredients
1 dl liquid margerine or butter (100g melted butter)
2,5 dl sugar
2 dl flour

2 tsp vanilla sugar
3 tbsp cacao powder
2 eggs


Muffin paperforms


Metod
1. Mix the eggs and sugar well until it is well mixed and fluffy. Add the rest of ingrediens and lastly fold in the flour. Add a tbsp in each muffin form. I got 20 muffins.

2. Preheat the oven 180 degrees and bake them for 8-10 min. They will start to rise and sink in the middle. That is when you should take them out. Also the less time you keep them in the oven means they will be more gooy and soft inside. They should cool covered by a tea towel or muslin cloth to stay soft.

They have a rich chocolate taste and soft, fudgy texture. They are best served with some whipped cream on top. This is perfect to bake with children.

Lentil soup - recipe

Often I ran out of ideas of making healthy meals for us, toddler included. But I have a few go to recipes that I use quite often in our daily meals. Lentil soup is one of them. I make it according to a recipe given to me by my mum, I have just added few extra spices. My son loves this thick soup and it works perfect for children. I just give him a buttered toast with it.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup red lentils
1 onion
1 tsp mild curry
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp turmeric
salt and pepper to taste
2-3 tsp oil
1/3 cup rice

Method:
1. Add the lentils to a deep pot and add 2 cups water and let it boil. Be careful as the lentils can boil over the sides of the pot. Quickly lower the heat until it has relaxed little. It will be somewhat foamy, when that happens you can easily remove the foam with a wide spoon. When the water is reduced add another 2 cups of water and let it simmer.

2. While the lentils are simmering, chop the onion and fry it in a pan with the oil and half of the curry, until golden brown.

3. Add the fried onions to the lentils together with all remaining spices and the rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I add the rice so that it thickens the soup. Let everything simmer together until it has reduced and the soup has thickened. If it becomes to thick quickly add some boiled water.

4. Serve in bowls with baguette and butter, a lovely combo!

Chicken over rice - recipe

I love finding new recipes online by reading articles and blogs by other people who've tried them and recommend them. This specific recipe was recommended by Elin Josefina, she has a great mummy blog in Swedish. So this dish is called Chicken over rice. Much similar to a chicken cube served with rice that you can find in middle eastern restaurants. It is a favourite to order every time we go to those restaurant. So I decided to cook it and share my twist of this dish. I have added some optional spices. I looked online to see how others make this recipe, and almost all add a twist to it, so this is mine.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, diced
3-5 tbsp greek yoghurt
1 lemon
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp parlsey
salt and pepper
1 tsp kebab mix spice (optional)
3-4 tbsp oil for frying

1 cup rice cooked according to instructions on package
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp coriander
salt to taste
4 pods of cardemon

shredded lettuce, 1 onion, sherry tomatoes

yoghurt sauce: 3 tbsp greek yoghurt, 1 lemon juice, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried dill, 1/2 tsp dried parsley, 3 tbsp water to make the sauce more watery

Method:
1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Add all spices for the rice in the boiling water. Set aside.


2. Mix the greek yoghurt and all spices for the chicken marinade. Add the diced chicken pieces in the marinade and put it in the fridge for few hours. I only had it in for 1 hour. But the longer it is chilled the tastier flavours will marry. Fry the chicken pieces in a shallow frying pan with few tbsp of oil on medium to high heat. It should look golden and char grilled.

3. Shred some washed lettuce, slice 1 onion and cherry tomatoes. Mix all ingredients for the yoghurt sauce. Put the sauce i the fridge to chill while all food is cooked.

4. Serve it in a plate, rice with the chicken pieces over. Add the salad and yoghurt sauce on top of it. Tastes heavenly, specially for pregnancy cravings.

Satisfying Salad Lunch: Pomegranate and feta cheese salad

Today's lunch was a quick salad made from leftovers in the fridge. I thought to myself, "This should make a nice salad." Sometimes the best meals are those that come together spontaneously, using whatever you have on hand. 

We had feta cheese and pomegranate that were already peeled and seeded—my husband is wonderful for preparing them for me. The combination was delightful: the fruit's sweetness and the cheese's saltiness paired well with the crunchy salad mix. 

Initially, I didn't expect it to be filling, but to my surprise, the creamy cheese was quite satisfying. It was also a great way to get a boost of vitamins on these rainy days. And just as I mentioned it, the sun began to shine. It felt like the universe was rewarding my quick culinary effort with a little extra sunshine - a lucky day indeed!

Ingredients:
Bag of mixed salad: carrots, red cabbage, lettuce
1 chopped orange bell pepper
4-5 halved cherry tomatoes
1/3 feta cheese square
1/2 cup seeded pomegranate
salt to taste

Method:
Mix all ingredients and season with salt to taste. Easy and very tasty.

Sweet potato fries and fish fingers

Sweet Potato Fries and Fish Fingers: A Kid-Approved Meal

When my son was a baby, he absolutely loved mashed sweet potato purée. It was one of his favorite meals, often mixed with other veggies and chicken. But as he grew older and started feeding himself, he became much pickier with his food. Sweet potatoes, once a staple, had been rejected a few times. So, I decided to try something new—sweet potato oven-baked fries.

This time, it was a hit! The fries were a big success, especially when paired with his all-time favorite condiment, ketchup.


Ingredients:
1 sweet potato
2 tbsp olive oil
pinch of salt

2 fish fingers
ketchup

Method:
Peel the sweet potato and slice into fries.  Toss the fries in olive oil and pinch of salt until they are evenly coated. Bake in the oven at 220 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. While the fries are baking, cook the fish fingers accoring to the package instructions. 

Plate the crispy sweet potato fries alongside the fish fingers. Don't forget the ketchup for dipping!  

This simple meal not only brought sweet potatoes back into the rotation but also made dinner time a little easier and a lot more enjoyable for both of us!

Baked potato, beans and sausages

Occasionally, I bake too many potatoes and end up with leftovers for the next day. This time, my husband wanted beans with his dinner, so I added some sausages and shaped them into an animal. Our son was delighted and naturally wanted to join in. I strive to avoid wasting food, and this time, I happened to have these ingredients on hand. It may not be the healthiest option, but it was incredibly satisfying. While this meal might not typically be blog-worthy, part of this blog's purpose is for me to reminisce and track our past meals.

Ingredients:
Baked potato
4 mini sausages
1/2 can of baked beans
shredded cheese

Method:
Heat the baked potato topped with beans and shredded cheese in the microwave. Then, fry the sausages and serve them alongside the potato and beans.

Fish, baked potato and vegetables, toddler meal - recipe

As we try to make give our son the same food as we eat, I often just give him his meals that have same ingredients as us, but try to make it in a healthier version and add less salt. Luckily he likes fish and I always try to give it to him twice a week.

Ingredients:
1 piece of white fish
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 baked potato
1/2 cup boiled vegetables

Method:
1. Fry the white fish gently in a pan with 2 tbsp of vegetable oil until lightly browned. Bake the potato in the oven until cooked through in 220 degrees for ca 45 min. Boil the frozen vegetables. Serve it together with a click of butter on the potato to make it moister and easier to eat.

Mason (jam) jar salad

I've recently discovered mason jar salads, which are essentially any salad combination you enjoy, packed in a jam jar. They're ideal for taking on the go, whether you're heading to work, the gym, enjoying a picnic, or just out and about. I adore salads, but sometimes making them feels like a chore, even though it's quite simple when all the ingredients are at hand. However, my enthusiasm for salads was reignited when I learned about this method. I've experimented with various combinations and will share my favorite classic Greek salad recipe.
Ingredients:
1 mason jar (any jar really)
few cherry tomatoes
half bell pepper
handful green leaves
few olives
few bite size pieces of feta cheese
few gherkins
few slices of cucumber
 dressing: 1,5 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Method:
1.Ensure you have a clean jar. Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.


2. Cut the remaining ingredients into bite-sized pieces.

3. Creating a superb jar salad requires careful attention to the layering order. Start by pouring the dressing at the bottom to prevent sogginess. Next, add the chunkier items such as bell peppers and cucumbers, or any grainy elements or proteins like chicken. These create a barrier that keeps the remaining ingredients dry.

4. Finally, add cheeses, nuts, or any other toppings of your choice. In this instance, I've included tomatoes, cheese, olives, and finally the green leaves. This arrangement ensures that when you invert the jar, the greens form a bed, and the dressing evenly coats your salad.
 


5. Secure the lid and you're all set. This method will keep it fresh and crisp for up to five days, allowing you to prepare everything in one go and store it in the fridge. Then, you can easily grab one for your lunch when you're too lazy or don't have time to make something different.

Enjoy!

Egg-free battered fish and baked potato - recipe

Now that my mum keeps saying do not eat to much red meat, we are eating more fish in this household. Which is good, as it is healthy. But sometimes I like to make the fish in an unhealthy way and deep fry it. It make is crunchy on top but soft inside and simply delicious. Specially if it is battered. I wanted to do my own batter, but unfortunately did not have any eggs so had to come up with a quickly and egg free recipe instead. It turned out good although I  was not so sure as it was egg free. That teaches me that I should improvise a lot more in the kitchen.

Ingredients:
white fish fillets
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
fish seasoning
salt and pepper
vegetable oil

baked potato
frozen vegetable to boil
butter

Method:
1. Mix flour, baking powder, fish seasoning and salt and pepper in a flat bowl. Add little oil and both sides of the fish and dip it in the dry batter. Alternatively you can add 1 cup water to the batter to make it runny and you can dip the fish in it. Fry in a shallow frying pan on medium high temperature.

2. Bake the potatoes in the oven for ca 1 hour. Poke the potatoes first before putting it in.

3. Boil frozen vegetables of your choice. Once everything is done. Serve it in a plate with a click of butter on the baked potato. I also sprinkle a bread dipping mix seasoning over the baked potato as it gives it more taste. But that is optional.
Enjoy!

Cheese straws (sticks) - recipe

I love finding new ways of making snacks that are messy free when my son eats them outside. This is a perfect snack, both for young and adults. Cheese straws are good  and very easy to do. My son likes to eat them at any time of the day. When we go out I just put a few straws in a plastic container and we are good to go.

1.5 cup flour
6 tbsp butter
2 cups chredded cheese
1 egg beaten
sesame seeds, optional

Method:
1. Mix cold butter and the flour in a bowl until it looks crumbly. Then add the cheese and the egg. You can save little of the egg if you like to brush the straws before it goes in the oven. Put the dough in the fridge for 10 mins to chill.

2. Once it has been chilled, roll the dough out and cut into straws or sticks that are half cm thick. Brush them with egg and sprinkle over some sesame seeds if you like.

3. Bake in the oven for 10 min at 175 degrees, until golden brown.

4. Serve your toddlers when they crave a snack or take with you when you guys are out and about.

Tasty Halloween sandwiches

After a fun and long day filled with trick-or-treating, it's time to unwind and relish the evening with a horror classic, preferably The Ring 1. To make the most of the experience, we're preparing deliciously spooky sandwiches. My specialty is grilled tomato and cheese sandwiches, which are quick to make with a sandwich grill and taste eerily delightful. Wishing you a Happy Halloween!

Ingredients:
sandwich bread
butter
tomatoes
dried oregano
slices of cheese
olives

Method:
1. Spread butter on a slice of sandwich bread, layer with cheese and tomato slices, then sprinkle oregano on top. Cook in a sandwich grill or oven until it's golden brown. The result is a gooey and delicious treat. Serve with pitted olives for an insanely good taste. P.S. Arrange the olives to resemble a ghost. : )

Baba Ganoush, (Mutabal batinjan) Augergine dip - recipe

I adore incorporating sauces and dips into my meals, a common practice in both Swedish and Middle Eastern cuisines. Baba ganoush, an eggplant-based dip, is a family favorite. We frequently prepare it for celebrations as it serves as an excellent side dish or as part of a meza. Typically, a meza includes kebabs, grilled meats, various salads such as fattoush or tabbouleh, and bread. Baba ganoush can also be enjoyed simply with pita bread. My personal recipe always includes Greek yogurt to enhance its creaminess.


Ingredients:
1 aubergine
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp greek yoghurt
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp tahini paste
pinch of salt

Method:
1. Start by piercing the aubergine with a fork in several places. Then, if you have a gas stove, grill it directly on the gas hob, or alternatively, bake it in the oven under the grill setting until it becomes very soft and the skin is charred.

2. Allow it to cool, then peel away the charred skin, which should come off easily. Place the aubergine in a bowl and mash it thoroughly. It should resemble the photo shown below.

3. Incorporate the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth using a handheld mixer.

4. Once prepared, serve it chilled in a small bowl and sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top. The sweetness of the seeds complements the saltiness of the dip beautifully. I adore this sweet and salty combination. Typically, I serve it with pita bread, but feel free to use any vegetables you prefer, simply cut them into sticks for dipping.

Banana fruit smoothie for toddlers - recipe

My son has been having trouble with teething lately and is getting picky with what I give him to eat. One day he will love banana or grapes, the next day refuse to eat at all. So when I want him to have some fruits, I always go for my foolproof option, the smoothie. Basically I just choose whatever fruit I have at home and blend it with milk and/or yoghurt. He loves it and so far not refused it even once! This one is just made with what I had at hand, hence only 3 strawberries. This was enough for 3 drinks.

Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1 ripe pear
1/2 leftover apple
1/2 cup blueberries
3 strawberries
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp greek yoghurt

Method:
1. Mix up all the ingredients in a food blender and served it right away.

Baba ganoush salad (aubergine dip)

Those days I am home alone, I tend to make me something very easy or most likely a salad for dinner. I had done an aubergine dip and wanted to eat it with greens and vegetable. Since we have not done a big food shopping yet I just chose what we had left in the fridge. The outcome was lovely. The sweetness from the pomegranate and saltiness from the dip and the freshness from the vegetables, was a match made in heaven. I will def to more of this dip and it goes very well to include in a meza. Other lovely things to serve it with is hummus, kubas, grilled chicken and kebabs or a tabbouleh salad.

Ingredients:
Baba ganoush dip (aubergine dip)
carrot sticks
olives
cherry tomatoes
lettuce
pita bread
Method:
1. Serve the aubergine dip with various greens and vegetables of your choice together with pita bread.

Tuna and egg sandwiches - recipe

My husband and son love tuna, but I can't seem to develop a taste for it. Nevertheless, I don't hesitate to prepare it for them. They're particularly fond of a sandwich filling I make. My husband also enjoys making tuna melt sandwiches in our sandwich maker, which is another great option, though we'll save that for later as my son struggles to bite through the crusty bread.
Ingredients:
1 can of tuna in water
2 boiled eggs
2-3 tbsp mayo
1 tsp aromat Knorr seasoning

Method:
Start by draining the tuna of its liquid and place it in a bowl. Incorporate two hard-boiled eggs and mash them together with the tuna. Stir in the mayonnaise and seasoning, then taste and adjust with salt and pepper if desired. Spread the mixture onto your preferred type of bread to create a tasty sandwich.


Enjoy!
