Pärlans Konfektyr Stockholm
Usually I'm more into very contemporary places, but when it's done as well as at Pärlans, I'm more than happy to make an exception. Even more so if it comes with toffee caramels, sweet music and a fashionable staff. Pärlans is a cute little shop in Söder, Stockholm, where they make and sell delicious caramels. Read article…
A tiny winter harvest
After reading Megan's harvest post on The Fresh Exchange ( check out her awesome blog! ), I was curious to see if there was anything left in my own vegetable garden… The 3 baby carrots I found were smaller than the size of my pinkie!

When I stumbled upon this recipe by Lisa from MakeMyLemonade ( check her cute GIFs! ) I knew this was what I wanted. It's actually one of my favorite Vietnamese desserts with a twist. Very rich, soft and pretty. Read article…

The Typography of Sint
This past weekend my family and I celebrated my favorite holiday: Saint Nicholas! Even though it's not nearly as much fun when you live in a country where noone celebrates Sinterklaas ( I know they do in the Alsace region… but it's not really the same… ) I still enjoyed gathering around 5 euro gifts Read article…
Vitamin boost
This week was extremely busy and days are so short. Time for a vitamin boost! I blended a bunch of kiwis & two pears and added some water. I'm a true fruit junkie and this combination was pretty good. And healthy too! In Antwerp we had lunch under a kiwi tree. Did you know kiwis Read article…
Robert’s surpRICE pudding
When the IKEA Family Live team visited us in the early spring, my husband insisted on cooking for them. My husband is a very talented cook who never cooks by recipe, but always by flavor. This is why he rarely makes the same thing twice, so enjoy it while you can! For the IKEA team Read article…
