      The Apple Pie Smoothie.

      28 September 2017
      Apple pie smoothie


      Yes, you read that right. I did just write the words "apple pie" and "smoothie" in the same sentence, and no - I haven't lost my mind (I think). I just have a thing for smoothies and apple pies, and found the perfect way to make those two great things into one awesome smoothie. And with apple season being here and all, what better fruit to use?

      INGREDIENTS:

      • 1 red apple 
      • 2 dl oats milk (or any other milk you have around)
      • 1/2 dl rolled oats
      • 1 Digestive biscuit
      • A pinch of cinnamon 
      • A pinch of cardamum
      • A pinch of vanilla powder 
      • Granola to sprinkle on top

      HOW TO:
      Cut the apple into pieces and remove the core. Toss everything into a blender and run until smooth. Pour into a glass and sprinkle some granola on top. Enjoy!

      Life, Five things

      Five Great Things Lately.

      26 September 2017


      I had some random thoughts, floating around in that head of mine, on things I wanted to sit down and write posts about. And then I thought, why not just gather all my rather random things in one structured blogpost? So I did. Here are five great things from my life lately, that I felt like sharing with you.

      I'M FEELING EXCITEMENT FOR AUTUMN. While others sit and mope about the fact the summer is coming to an end, here I am - quite happy about it. Since we don't really get "proper" summers here in Sweden, I don't mind when it's actually over (harsh truth). Autumn is my favourite time of year. I love the crisp air, the changing colours in nature and the warm sunlight. We have a few weeks of this beautifulness every year before the darkness of winter comes rolling around, unwanted. I'm planning to enjoy these few weeks to the max.

      PLANNING FUTURE TRAVELS. I love exploring, and on my travel wish list right now are Budapest, Prague, Copenhagen and Dublin. I feel like I want to travel more within Europe in the near future, there is so much that I yet have to see and explore on our lovely little continent. We have so much history, beautiful architecture and even more amazing food here - that I cannot wait to experience. *hittng up Skyscanner*


      Summer's over, bare legs & summer dresses are now a distant memory - but I'm feeling excited for autumn!


      DECLUTTERING. I am one stuff owning human (first world problems, I am very aware of that), and that's something I'm trying to change. Not that I won't allow myself to own things, just that I tend to cling onto things that can more be referred to as "stuff". Starting the process of owning less isn't easy though. Emptying all of your drawers and cupboards makes a terrible mess. I tried that method and realised that well... not even the most "let's do this" Spotify playlist gave me the energy to handle all of it at once. Instead, I tried to go through my belongings in sections and to scale down. Separating what I think I need to what I actually need, has totally made a difference in how I feel in my own space. Just knowing I'm, bit by bit, minimising the random "stuff" I have shoved down my drawers and never ever use but feel like I "might find a use for some day" is such a relief. A tip on where to get started? The book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. And, speaking of books...

      I'M BACK INTO READING MODE. In the beginning of 2017 I set some goals. One of them being to read more throughout the year. And, actually, I haven't really gotten around to doing so until this summer (shocker...). I have a rather massive stack of books I want to read this fall, from beauty books to classics like Brontë & Dickens. A good mix! I'm all set for those cozy autumn nights, drinking tea, curled up in the sofa - reading.
      ALSO, I'M BACK ON THE HEALTH TRAIN. I'm back into my everyday routine again after summer, and I'm also back to eating well. I try my hardest to only eat sugar on weekends and I've stepped back into the gym again after a summer of doing nothing even remotely close to exercise. I had a lot of "treat yourself" moments over summer, and I could really feel how my body took a toll after all that sugar and lazying around. Feels good to "be back".

      The Gothenburg Guide, Where to Eat

      Where to Eat in Gothenburg | Taverna Averna.

      17 September 2017

      📍 - Tredje Långgatan 7, Göteborg

      I've gone out to eat yet again, and I took my camera with me. This time, I went with my pizza loving friend, and we wanted to celebrate something special, and we wanted to do so while eating a "proper" Italian pizza. So, what better place to go to, than one of the most hyped pizza spots in town? Okay, sure - Taverna Averna primarily have other things on their menu, but I'd heard most good things about the pizzas so that's what initially drew me in. Also, the decor was something I had both seen (yep, stalking the restaurant's geotag on Instagram) and heard about.

      I wasn't disappointed one bit, stepping into the restaurant I couldn't help but to think about how amazing the interior was. With dark furniture, high ceilings, windows that let the light stream into the rooms beautifully and dreamy gallery walls - what's not to like?



      We were greeted very well when we entered the restaurant, and even though the place had just about opened and we were only a few people in there - it still felt warming and welcoming. A little special shout-out to our waitress, who made us feel comfortable, yet not stressed or pushed by any means, when she came up to our table a few times and asked if the food tasted well, or if we wanted something more to drink - we just felt taken cared of, and not pushed to order more. Simply put; we couldn't have been happier with the service.

      Let's talk about what we ate, shall we? We had the pizza with roasted pine nuts and pesto, nom nom. It definitely lived up to the hype, and we felt like we were back in Italy for a few minutes. I don't have any photos to prove this, but I can tell you they both looked and tasted amazingly. And we paired the pizzas with a sneaky glass of Prosecco. That wasn't half bad.



      I would recommend this restaurant to anyone really, but especially to those who might feel like they need a break from all the industrial vibed, red brick wall:ed, sweet potato fries & truffle mayo:ed burger joints found around every corner in Gothenburg right now. Sure, I like those, but actually, if you're in the mood for pizza, I like this even more.
