Amazing Carrot Buns

October 24, 2011 by admin

In our house we love baking, especially now when its so cold (to warm up the apartment!). My roommate is the bread master, she bakes bread and buns all the time, which often inspires me to bake too. This time I decided to make carrot buns -because adding carrots to baking makes it feel more healthy…

Carrot buns are generally very popular in Denmark. They are good with marmalade, Nutella, for sandwiches or even just with butter. I like mine with a lot of fiber, so I like to add oatmeal, if you don’t want that – you could use more flour. Continue reading “Amazing Carrot Buns” »

Nat’s favorite nuts!

August 18, 2011 by admin

And now for some fun stuff! Here is my favorite snack in the world!

Basically I love those yummy unhealthy snacks like peanuts and popcorn – but if I eat it as much as I won’t it would probably be reeaaaallly bad for me. That is why I decided to start making my own homemade healthier snack-noms – roasted soybeans.

Its very simple, tastes awesome and soybeans are healthy(er) for you. You do need a bit of olive oil though – otherwise salt won’t stick, but its still much better than peanuts. Continue reading “Nat’s favorite nuts!” »

Indian Potato and Lentils Curry

May 5, 2011 by admin

Ooooh today I will present you with some healthy Indian yumminess!

It’s really nice with meat, especially with a good spicy steak, otherwise you could serve it with naan bread or eat it together with rice. Personally I prefer this as a sidedish.

Did I forget to mention that this is pretty healthy?
Lentils are selected by Health magazine as one of five healthies foods because thry contain high levels of proteins, iron and amino acids. They also contain dietary fiber, vitamin B and other minerals.

It’s pretty fast to cook, and its very simple. Just make sure there is enough spices and that you don’t have too much potatoes comparing to lentils.

Cooking time: about 35 minutes Continue reading “Indian Potato and Lentils Curry” »
