Hello!

It's my turn to tell you about my past weeks food.

We had the best week in school ever! We had all these special foods like tortillas, fish fingers and PIZZA ON FRIDAY CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??!?? It was a good week!:) thank you palmia!

We are getting pretty excited about the Halloween season so my mom decided to make a pumpkin gratin from the pumpkin we got from my uncle.  And since I have never eaten pumpkin before this was also 'special' dinner for me. Before that day, I didn't even know that people actually make food from it!

   Here you see the gratined pumpkin stuffed with bacon and cheese. And also the brownish thing made from spelts and carrots and some parsley. And then of course the salad.

Well the food turn out to look SUPER weird I would say but it really did tasted delicious!! I would suggest for you to make some food made from pumpkins!! It's good tasting and super healthy!
For example stuffed pumpkins, you just can put anything inside of it and it will taste good.


And for the dessert my mom had also baked a apple pie, again!But this time it tasted a bit different than last time. She's crazy about things made from apples.. !! I blame the apple season.

Carrot cupcakes

Hello guys,
yesterday I had a friend of mine over for a movie night and we decided to bake some carrot cupcakes. They turned out amazing and I wanted to share the recipe. They are very simple to make and you can get super creative with your decorations.

You will need:
- 300g carrots
- 4 dl flour
- 3 dl white sugar
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsps cinnamon
- 100g butter
- 3 large eggs

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Start by coarsely grating the carrots. Then melt the butter and let it cool for a while. Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the butter and the grated carrots. Then combine all of your dry ingredients into your mixture. Divide your mixture between 12 to 16 cupcake cases. Let them bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.
After baking you can leave them plain or you can frost them with this amazing cream cheese frosting.

Frosting:

- 180g plain cream cheese
- 1 dl icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Combine all of the ingredients together and decorate the cupcakes.

Hope you will try out this recipe, see you soon!

The finnish pulla

Hello again!!

Today i´m going to tell you about the one fine day, which was today, that my mom decided to make buns.

My mom decided to do normal buns, cinnamon buns and then try out apple cinnamon buns. Like there was apple chips inside of them!! Best!! I ate like four buns and was so full after.

We have the exam week coming, or like it started last Friday, and now I have a whole bun warehouse giving me the support I need. :-)

I didn´t remember to take pictures from my weekly food experiences but I went out for a coffee with my friends few times and yesterday me and my two friends visited the hietsu´s market hall. There was this music and tasting happening, where you could buy small portions of different kinds of food from the market hall´s stands. It was really fine-dining session but it was really fun in there!! For example I bought the beef meat pie with different kind of veggies inside of it, it was really tasty!!! <3

New trend called Wolt


Hi, all my fans!
This is my first blog-writing of my life, and I am just wondering what to write to you guys. Well I had a great week and excellent weekend. I don`t no why, it just was.

Do I ate a lot of good food? Yes I did. I think that is one of the reasons. Last week I ate of course every day the good and free school lunch. And then, some days I went store and bought some coffee.

Okay, now I tell you a new trend called WOLT. Do you have heard it before? Because I didnt had. My friend told me that if I load a Wolt application, I would get 10€ free coins in there. Then me and my friend tested it. We choose what food we want to eat and then we ordered it. We waited 30 min and heard our doorbell ring and there was a wolt-bishop bringing your food to you. That was amazing.. I mean you just push a couple buttons with your phone and you get food at your home door from 400 different restaurants.






















Me and my friend ordered some gourmet hamburgers and it was absolutely wonderfull! It costed 10 € + dispatching costs 3,90€. I think it`s a bit expensive but I still recommend Wolt to all of you!
Thanks and bye,

Crayfishes and friends

Hello!

It's this time of the year again!

I had a good week because all the food was so brilliant everyday. It all narrowed to Sunday when we had a Crayfish party.

I've been blessed to have two Crayfish parties in this fall. Now I'll tell you about our every year tradition.

On Sunday we (my family) travelled to Tampere to my mom friend's cottage. There were all my moms best friends from High School. Ever since they graduated from High School they have had a Crayfish party every fall. They even have a name for their group - Herkku Perseet aka HPt. I think it's so cool that they have done that every fall for over 20 years now! Of course the group has changed because they all have children now and husbands and wife's. 

The owner of the cottage had catched all the crayfishes and they told us that in this year they had gotten over 1000 crayfishes -THAT'S CRAZY!!!!!!

After the crayfishes we had the most delicious food from Thailand. It was pulled pork and rice with lettuce and chili and a sauce made of chives. It was the best thing ever even though it doesn't sound so special! 

And last but not the least the dessert!!! 

My mom's job was to make a dessert so she made an apple pie and a tiramisu. They were both so good! But I do personally like more the apple pie.









 

Thank you,

Mom´s salmon is the best salmon

Hi! This week is my turn to tell about me and food. I didn´t take any pictures of my weekdays food experiences but  I will tell you about my weekend´s ones. This saturday I was lazy and tired and took things easy. I had done so much in the week so I had to keep one day for just and only resting. So I spend my day with my best friend, my mom!

She had bought fish from prisma and decided to cook my favorite dish: oven salmon and new potatoes with dill!! Potatoes and dill she had gotten from her garden plot.

So she cooked and me with my little sisters waited, and then we ate together.

Then as a dessert we ate oven apples with syrup and oat brans and ice cream and it was the best!

I was so full after eating and did happily all my homeworks! :-) :-)

Kisses,

Friends, Falafels and Burgers

Hi guys,

This weekend was great! I had two of my friends from Jyväskylä spending the weekend with me here at Helsinki. We spent our weekend laughing, walking around Helsinki and most importantly eating amazing food! Yesterday we ate at my favourite restaurant called Fafa's. They make these incredible pita breads with falafels and all sorts of other fillings and sauces. My favourite is the one with halloumi and falafels. The food was fantastic, as per usual! Fafa's has never let me down.
Today we went looking for some more high-class burgers. We found this fast food restaurant at Mikonkatu 8 called Friend and Brgrs. We had no expectations but the food was actually very good. We ordered a meal called the Friend's meal.

The meal included a basic cheese hamburger with vegetables and mayonnaise with these amazing crispy french fries on the side. I would say it was worth the money and it was extremely tasty for a more homemade hamburger.
These were the two culinary highlights of my week. I spent way too much money on food, but it was totally worth it!
See you soon, 


Ebba
