Salmon and egg lunch

Okay so the picture is not the best.

But is sure tasted good

Butter the pan a lot around the sides and bottom. 

Line the the pan to the middle and the bottom with smoked salmond 

Pour eggs into it, to the edge of the salmon

Salt, pepper and dill it. 

Leave in oven on low heat ( about 150 Celsius ) until cooked.

Next time we are trying this in muffin trays :) faster cooking and individual portions 

Great lunch Eric ;)

Also made 5 trays if knekkebrød and 3 loafs of banana bread. 

Nice to do lots at once all tho you get tired, at least now it's all done for a while and I will not he tempted to buy prosessed food because it's easy. 

Eric has been an awesome helper. It's nice to be two in the kitchen. 

Kitchen date. ❤️

Paleo/primal carrot cake.

Eric's favorite cake is carrot cake. 

So I desided to try to make a paleo one. What makes it primal is of course the cream cheese icing 

This cake was actually really good. Did not crumble, it was nice and moist. 

Put some blueberries on top.

Big hit! 

For dinner today we ate deer, baked in the oven with carrots, onions, garlic and mushrooms. 

Roasted broccoli with orange juice. 

I love game meat. 

This is the recipe I followed 

Icing 1 box cream cheese 

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup maple sirup 

And vanilla extract 

Happy birthday my love 

Homemade tomato soup

So for a little while I've been craving tomatoe soup. 

Growing up on the powder stuff you get in a bag with macaroni, making it is a new thing for me.

Googled a couple of recipes and mixed it all together.

I used duck broth that we had froze from making 'sylt' for Xmas.

But chicken broth or what ever you might wish for :)

2 cans of crushed tomatoes

One jar (small) of tomato purée 

Carrots

Broccoli

Cauliflower 

Chicken

And eggs

Think I had about 5dl of broth 

And added a small tsp of physillium to thicken it up a bit

Tomatoe soup is one of those things that's almost been impossible to make Jonas eat. But now he ate it. Can tell it's not his favorite food, but he finished his whole bowl, also because he was promised a buckwheat flatbread with butter. 

Managed to get my pregnant ass outside for a walk tonight too. I feel awesome 

Eric's pick for his birthday dinner

Cod with potatoes. Carrots and broccoli

Drizzled with melted butter

Not all men that would choose this, Eric loves cod and it's not really my favorite, so we don't have it very often.

Happy birthday my love, you are one amazing partner and I'm so lucky to have you by my side. 

Love you 

Greek dinner

Brought a leg of lamb from home. Eric had it all marinated and ready to cook.

Sissel and Eric spent a few hours in the kitchen yesterday cutting garlic and other stuff for the Greek dinner.

We had hummus

Tzaztiki 

Roasted potatoes

Rice

Greek meatballs

Greek salad

And Greek cheese

All very good :) 

Takk for maten

Following the paleo mom

So I made these today. Wanted to make a nice paleo snack we can bring in the car when we drive down to Strømmen on Friday. 

For a 6 hour car drive it's always nice to bring your own snack. Not to much healthy food to find on the road. And it's always nice to have something more snack like the. Your regular lunch/dinner 

Only thing I made them with no chocolate as I didn't have any and chocolate will just make a mess in the car

Adding the link to Paleo Moms page with the recipe 

If I miss something in my diet, I always google paleo mom and 'recipe' 

She has so many awesome recipes

Check her out.

Dried fruits

After about 8-10 hours the fruits are finally done. And they taste soooo much better than the stuff you buy in the store. 

Pineapple (fresh not canned) and apples seem to be the best ones. 

Bananas are the most difficult ones for now. They are still in and a bit sticky. 

Anyone have suggestions for how to make banana chips? 

WHAT IS THIS???

Looks scary too

Doing dried fruits today.

Before going outside in -13 ( that's with the sun shining) for some tobaggaining, I put all the fruits in vinegar water to get rid of pestesides.... But what happen to these apple's??

Any ideas? Chemical reaction? 

What are we eating? 

Easy food :)

Couple of chicken breasts

Carrots and some lettuce 

Chicken made with some spices and fried in butter

On Monday when we went to Trondheim I went to Etikken a nice big health food store with lots of options we don't have here in Oppdal 

Found these bars, only 3 ingredients 

 

Dates 52% 

Pecans 28%

Almond 20%

I love snack foods with as few ingredients as possible

And these ones are very good too :)

Went for a walk to pick Jonas up from Barnehagen today. Walked up to the neighbours and toboggand down the field to out house again. 

Fun times

Fish day!

Breakfast Macerel , eggs tomatoes and cucumber. Macerel was Jonas' idea

The adult plate

The kid plate

Sometimes I know Jonas won't eat everything we eat. So I just make him a plate without the stuff he does not like and instead of pouring sauce ontop of his good I put it in a dipping bowl so he can choose. 

This one he liked 

Sauce:

Half a red onion

One pepper

Half zucchini 

Lots of butter 

One box coconut milk 

One tablespoon curry

Cut everything up small

This would also work great with chicken

Salsa on the side that we made yesterday :) 

Just saying

GLUTEN IS LINKED TO 55 AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES 

Lots of autoimmune diseases causes heartburn. 

Most people relieve heartburn by taking an anti acid, with sales of the drug topping $10 billion annually 

And the bad thing is this also impairs nutrient absorption!! 

If you have an autoimmune diseases you really should look into going of gluten

Just try googling your disease and gluten

100 more days till due date

Today's it's 100 days til due date can't wait to meet this little guy!

Also the buy of the day in Trondheim was a dehydrator. Really looking forward to using this. Now we can do our own stuff!! Yay!!! 

Fruit night

Tonight instead of the candy we have been having all December, we did lots of fruit. Still a lot of sugar but...

Bananas

Apples (red and green) 

Mango

Nectarines 

Pineapple 

Oranges

Blueberries

Grapes 

Kiwi

Melon

Dried apricots 

Dates

Almonds

And some shredded coconut to dip in :)

Jonas bought an angry birds movie today for his own money that he had saved.

And he earned a bit more today by helping in the house. Never to early to get little tasks to help mommy and daddy

Feeling better today

Headache is very small today. Came later ok the day too. 

This morning I was back at the gym with Guðrún.

Body is so different, feels weird not to be able to do as much... And also look at my self with no waist anymore. Thankfully it's for a good reason and it's only temporary :) 

Happy I can keep working out

Day two! Headache!!

Soo it's now been two days back on primal before going 100% paleo on Sunday. ( eating the few dairy products we have, don't wanna throw it all away) 

By 4 o'clock today I started getting a headache. And now it is 21.45 and my head is now so bad I could not stay up anymore. In bed now. 

Getting off sugar and also coffein is starting to work on my body. Know I have a few more days with this before it starts getting better. 

So my own fault. But I really enjoyed December :) it was the best. So some what worth it. 

But so can't wait for this headache to be gone :)

Started a new project today. Update in a month. 

Let's just say I cleaned out someone their fridge and pointed in the right direction. 

For dinner tonight we used the stock and from the Turky bone, with leftover turkey and veggies. Healthy feels good in my tummy right now :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all friends and family

Well its been one good year.

We started of our year going one month on paleo. After that we have been paleo/primal.

I think we are all learning a bit more about our bodies.

December has shown us all that, a month where I decided to say f-it I'm gonna enjoy my christmas with all the treats it comes with. Keep december special, like it should be.

But always keeping it gluten free. But there has been candy and cookies. Starchy foods and even one order of pizza, something we have not done since moving from Canada.

And whats the result? A tired body, feeling unclean and full.

Half way thru december I was already looking forward to January, where I have everybody back on board to being clean and all the temptations are gone.

 (Specially since so many more people attempt to start over again )

Anyways yesterday we had a great new years party up at our fantastic neighbours that have become some of the best friends we have made here.

So then we cleaned out our fridge and got rid of all the candies.

From today till sunday we are cleaning out for primal foods. ( dairy )

Then from monday we start 100% paleo again.

And I'm gonna go paleo till baby is born. Might have a couple exemptions with some starches like potatoes and rice. But really feeling the need to be clean and heathy.

I was explaining to Jonas that mommy is not gonna eat any more candy now, not even on saturday. He said me too, cuz my body has to much sugar and I'm sick.

I think even his little body is noticing that he is not been feeling as good as normal. However we will see how he feels about the candy when saturday comes. I have saved a little bit of candy, but he is not gonna have a lot and I will give him something else, like fruit, nuts or maybe bake something paleo :) And thankfully he loves dark chocolate even 86% that most grownups find to much.

Lots of great stuff happening in 2014 for me and my family. Getting a new member to our family and planning a longer trip to the cabin in Canada in the summer. So looking forward to that, just hanging out in Hatzic.

Thank you 2013 for bringing me so many good things, thanks to my awesome man for making my life so amazing. To my little man keeping life interesting and full of life.

Thank you to all the amazing people in my life new and old friends and family

Thanks to all the people that have been reading my blog over 17000 visitors to my page. Not as many as top bloggers but pretty cool anyways I think.

Thanks to everyone that puts up with my food/training obsession 

Now lets have a wicked 2014

Godt nytt år!!
