Before I move on to autumn food, I want to take a moment to reminisce on this wonderful summer. And perhaps not very surprising: I like to do that with food. I found some beautiful fresh local corn and juicy sweet nectarines, searched for inspiration from one of my favorite Finnish foodies and inspired by…
VEGAN CREAMY BEAN TACO BUNS
I was craving something comforting today for lunch so I made these vegan creamy bean taco buns in about 20 minutes! I thought I’d share the recipe, because I’m pretty sure you will love these as much as I do. I ate three of these (the ones you see in the photo) right away after…
BACK TO SCHOOL VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
Hey there chocolate lover! I baked this Back to school vegan chocolate cake two weeks ago when school began here in Finland. It was an emotional kind of “back to school” for us, as it was the start of First grade for my daughter. Oh the emotions! She seemed to be more relaxed about the…
ZUCCHINI-LEMON OVERNIGHT OATS
Do you have a garden? If you do, have you tried growing your own zucchini? When I started gardening three years ago, that’s what I planted first and was amazed how fast they grew. We got a lot of zucchinis that year and I got a little tired of zoodles. So I had to think…

Flavorwise very different, but equally delicious and made…

CHERRY COCONUT-VANILLA OVERNIGHT OATS
Hey! Did you know I’m a big fan of oats (probably did if you’ve been following along for a while)? Overnight oats is one of my favorite ways of eating oats, and so I thought I’d share a recipe I’ve been loving so much ever since I bought the first cherries of the summer: cherry…
