Here we are, almost the end of July and I'm finally getting a summer post out... and I probably would have waited until August if it weren't for our upcoming trip to the US (đ)... but I don't feel too bad about it, and the reason is actually the theme of my blog post: the … Continue reading Mint Blueberry Shrub
Happy May everyone! May is actually one of my favorite months in Sweden... with Valborg (celebration of the end of winter) being the last day of April, Swedish summer really does feel like it starts on May 1. The weather is usually pretty nice this month and the whole world seems to turn from muddy … Continue reading Swedish Kladdkaka Ice Cream Cake
Happy Easter everyone! Here is a recipe I have been really excited to share - a Swedish chocolate drömtĂ„rta (dream cake) that my mom used to make. And while I decided to make it into an "Easter cake" it is really the cake for any and all occasions... at least that's how it was in … Continue reading DrömtĂ„rta (aka momâs chocolate cake)

As this was the month our daughter, Bee, was born! So of … Continue reading Cherry Grottor
'Tis this season! And in Sweden that means weekends full of baking saffron buns or gingerbread... or something new đ.

I was really unsure if this is a bread pudding or French toast bake (what is the difference anyways?) but after … Continue reading Lussekatter French Toast Bake
This past weekend we hosted our fourth annual Friendsgiving in Sweden and I am so excited to share my husbandâs DELICIOUS stuffing recipe. We began the tradition of Friendsgiving a longggg time ago, our sophomore year of college, and have kept it up ever since.

Wow... has it really been almost two months since my last blog post? Life has been busy to say the least... trips to the US (without Bee, sadly) for both Chris and I, visitors from the US, and a baby that is constantly on the go.
