Weekend filled with food and joy!

This weekend has been a well-deserved break. I guess the theme of the weekend was ice skating, and to go with it, some very nourshing food. Here some examples (no pics, forgot completely to document):


Breacky Pancakes
Break from the normal breakfast routines:
4 eggs
2-3 tbsp cream (yes, I gave myself the luxury of including cream in the menu this weekend)
1 tbsp maca powder (new treat I found in the eco shop the other day, "superfood")
1 tbsp fiber husk
coconut oil

These made fine thin pancakes that kidone adored, as well as myself. Kidtwo concentrated on the topping: the half-frozen blueberries. Hubby never even knew about this treat, he slept through it as we ate! :-))

New twist Muffins
I used the recipe for banana muffins but switched buckwheat flour for coconut flour, and added lingonberries and blueberries. Kids simply adooored these and there was not much left for us adults! (huh!)
Ingredients:
200 g almonds
1 dl coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 apple
2 mashed bananas
tiny bit of honey (optional)
1 dl blueberries
1 dl lingonberries (could probably be subsituted by cranberries)

Ground almonds in the blender. Add coconut flour, baking powder, the apple (depending on your blender you might have to mash it first) and the bananas and then the eggs. Add manually the half-frozen blueberries and lingonberries. Bake in muffin molds for 20 minutes. Enjoy!


Salmon casserole
Adapted from the SOK (!) member magazine, my mother's recommendation, otherwise I would never have made it into the monthly cook book of SOK...

1 bigger sized sweet potato
0,5 leek (purjo, right?)
0,5 onion
1 sweet pepper
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp curry
4-5 dl water
2 tbsp vegetable powder boullion (organic, no weird stuff added)
/or 4-5 dl fish broth (even better)
1 dl cream or coconut cream (as previously said, I indulged in some cream this weekend)
the juice of 1 lemon (not sure how lemon works with coconut cream, pls report back if you test)
400 g salmon in cubes
0,5 dl dill
salt & pepper

Fry cubes of sweet potatoe, leek, onion and sweet pepper in the coconut oil. Add curry and fry a bit more. Add the water and the boullion and boil under lid for 15 minutes. Add fish cubes, cream, and lemon and let cook on low heat for another 5 minutes. Add the spices. Ready to eat.

I was sceptical about the kids buying into this dish. Too much weird stuff for them. But actually after having them try a bit, they did like it to some extent. Kidone concentrated on the salmon and the juice, and Kidtwo on the sweetpotatoes and the juice. They usually do not accept the taste of curry but here mixed with lemon it seems to have been more child-friendly.

And since this post comes without pics and right now if my blog is linked to other sites it will turn up with baby's and marlboro, I better add another humoristic 50's add to this post:

Hubby is away on business trip... too bad he can't enjoy my cuteness!
