Lussekatter French Toast Bake

'Tis this season! And in Sweden that means weekends full of baking saffron buns or gingerbread... or something new 😊. Last weekend I made something I've been dreaming of making ever since last Christmas... I was really unsure if this is a bread pudding or French toast bake (what is the difference anyways?) but after …

Bran Muffins

As I briefly mentioned in my last post, life has been absolutely crazy recently. For one, we bought an apartment (!)... but the same day we signed the papers, we also ended up in the hospital overnight with our daughter, which turned into a multiple months long ordeal. She is doing well now, but the …

Leftover Sweet Potato Pancakes with Whipped Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Butter and Candied Walnuts

Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone in the US! I know I've been writing a lot about the US and fall, but I promise this will be the last post of this kind. We just got our first dumping of snow in Stockholm and it's definitely putting me in the Swedish Christmas spirit! But for now …

Lemon Muffins with Elderflower Glaze

Ok, first off I have to apologize for being completely absent for the past two months... If you follow my instagram you at least got a few pictures here and there, but I have not been able to post anything on the blog for a few different reasons... First, we've have basically had a steady stream …

Golden Berry and Lemon Dutch Baby

Dutch baby. Such a funny name for such a delicious breakfast treat! Growing up my mom used to make dutch babies for our semi-regular weekend brunches (if you've read my other posts, you probably know what I'm talking about by now). I remember once when my friends spent the night in high school and my …

Raspberry and Cream Cheese Filled Easter Scones

Happy Easter / Glad Påsk, everyone! I really had every intentions of posting this recipe for my family's delicious filled scones last week... but between travelling to the US, having guests, and Easter holidays, I just didn't seem to fit it in anywhere! Luckily, this long holiday weekend has been filled with a mix of …

Mickey Mouse Waffles

This is probably the most special recipe I have posted on the blog so far, and may well just be the most special one I ever post. This is a recipe that is such a big part of my family that I literally had to ask permission from my dad and sister, and got input …

Thyme Biscuits & Sage-Chicken Gravy

Biscuits and gravy are like the ultimate comfort food... just like the last recipe (pyttipanna) is perfect for cozying up in a wintery Swedish cabin, biscuits and gravy are like its American sibling. Which is why at one point last year when the cold, dark, long winter was really getting to me, and I was feeling …

Swedish Pyttipanna

For this blog post I decided to stick to a pretty traditional Swedish recipe, Pyttipanna, which basically translates to "bits in a pan"... think Swedish version of a hash served with fried eggs, but also beets... and sometimes tomato... or a pickled beet cream sauce... or ketchup... or pickles... there are so many different ways to eat …

Swedish Pancakes & Pumpkin Soup

Many Americans don't realize that Swedish pancakes are actually not breakfast food...in fact Swedes eat these thin pancakes (pannkakor) together with pea soup (ärtsoppa) as a traditional dinner on Thursdays. That's right... not a specific holiday, not a certain season, just Thursdays in general. Why Thursdays, you might ask? Eating pea soup and pancakes on Thursdays is …
