When I was an exchange student in the USA, my (host) mom would make pancakes or scones on the weekends for breakfast. I loved and kept this tradition later on. Until I – like most people it seems, including my host family – kind of fell of the sugar and carb wagon. But the other …

Recipe – Fancy yoga cake
Yes, another recipe from the Yogamat book. I actually didn’t deviate from the recipe here except for the decoration. For one fancy yoga cake (ca. 12 slices): 5 dl (ca. 2 cups) almonds, soak them in water for about 4 hours first 5 dl (ca. 2 cups) dried dates, also: soak them in water for …
Recipe – Banana blueberry hazelnut muffins
This one is for Dina. It’s a recipe based on „Nötiga bananmuffins“ („Nutty banana muffins“) out of Yogamat (which would translate to „Yoga food“) by Anna Gidgård and Cecilia Davidsson.

Recipe – ginger elixir
Not that there isn’t anything to write about – quite the contrary. I have been so busy that the days seem way too short without spending time by the computer (no offense!). And yes, I do plan on writing about all that stuff but for now I’ll just leave you with a recipe I tried …
