Danish Cauliflower Pancakes with Parmesan

Categories: Breakfast/ Healthy Food/ Lunch

We have heard about cauliflower pancakes several times and we have to confess it did not sound like something we would like. However, one day we had an extra cauliflower in the fridge, and we always try to avoid throwing out food, so we decided to try out the cauliflower pancakes - and we are glad that we did!

Cauliflower pancakes are pretty famous in the food blogging world, mostly because they are healthy and easy to cook, but also because they are very delicious. These pancakes go perfectly for each meal a day - breakfast, lunch, dinner or maybe just as a snack.

We would also like to recommend our healthy pancakes with oats and apples, and our famous healthy pancakes with banana - both recipes are healthy and super delicious!

Overnight Raised Pumpkin Seed Buns

Categories: Bread/ Breakfast/ Lunch

We love bread, and in the weekends we almost always have it for breakfast. We never buy bread or buns from the grocery store, simply because freshly homemade bread are super simple to make and the taste is just much better. We live in the city and have several good shopping possibilities nearby - we still believe it is fast to mix our own dough and shape it into buns than go and get some from the store. Of cause buns from the store does not have to raise, but the time you have to work is less if you make your bread yourself. If we want to make it even easier for ourselves in the morning we make the dough the evening in advance using less yeast than normal, and then let it raise in the fridge overnight. Then we only have to shape the dough into buns and let it raise for an extra hour at room temperature. [Read more...]

Recipe on Crunchy Muesli with Coca // Chocolate Granola

I have heard that the breakfast is the most important meat during the day - I am not sure whether it is correct but I cannot last until lunch without any food. Having one of the many fancy cereal products for breakfast, which is typically packed with white sugar, is properly not the best start you can give your body in the morning. For a long time I have had a natural and sugarless yogurt topped with a crunchy chocolate-coconut granola for breakfast. It is very tasteful and the yogurt is rich on protein and has low carbs content. For a long time I bought the topping, chocolate granola, at my local grocery store. One day I decided that I had to try make my own granola, and I am glad I did - This recipe, on homemade granola, gives you a very crunchy granola with a delicious chocolate taste. I primarily use this chocolate-coconut granola as topping for my breakfast. But it is also great as a snack or maybe as ice cream topping for dessert. [Read more...]
