Ham Ham Ham and a 7km walk


Saturday and groceries....
Walked into town today with Tina and Johan. 
Then going to different stores finding the best deals and getting what we need for the week. 

Tina took charge of dinner today making ham and cream cabbage with broccoli. 
Very very tasty.

Have a good night

MCT oil WOW!


MCT (medium chain triglycerides)

Finally starting to use this.
Been thinking about it for a while, but never ended up getting it.
MCT is a fat that immediately synthesises to ketones so it can't turn to fat in the body. It gives a lot of energy all day and satisfies your gratings hugely.
I now put that in my coffee in the morning with butter instead of coconut oil, I was getting a little bit tired of the coconut taste in my coffee.
I'm also gonna use it in my food in different ways.
It does not taste like anything
Only tried it for two days, starting it easy, don't want to risk getting the runs :P
Interested to see how it work for me, as I hear only good stuff about it :)
I'll keep you updated :)

Kettlebell❤️Love



Last week got a little "ruff" at kettle bell, gotta love these blisters. 
Most of the people that were at the classes last week had several blisters in their hands. 
But the fun thing is that no one is really upset about it, it's more like we are showing each other our battle wounds. Little less snatch and stuff this week tho :)
I love  my kettle bell group, you guys are awesome!!


Litt på norsk enkel plan. Norwegian

Håper noen der ute finner den hjelpsom :)

Paleo banana muffins and skiing :)


Took Jonas out for a little cross country skiing today

Earlier today we made banana bread muffins. A nice little trick to get the kids out and moving is a reward at the end. But I really want to try to make them as healthy as possible 
Walking and walking

Final stop before we walked back home

Muffin recipe

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup almond flour
2 1/2 banana
4 eggs 
1 tbs baking soda

1/4 cup honey
2tbs xylitol
1/4 cup raw cocoa nibs 
1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil 
I used butter 

Bake on 175 c for 30 minutes 
 Mix eggs and bananas first then add the rest

Cooking day

Busy day lots done :)
Dried fruit, pineapple and apples. The apples I toss in cinnamon really good. 
Made seed "knekkebrød" and sesame bread. The bread is not totally paleo as it has oats in it. But it's very little and gluten free and Jonas loves it. 
We so made datebars. They are too good to keep in the house tho!! Can't make them too often because I will eat it all! 





For dinner today I put 12 chicken thighs in the oven with paprika, rosemary, salt and pepper
Had kale, spinach, pepper, onion, garlic and ginger in a pan. 
Eric had mushrooms too. 

Easy and quick dinner.

 

Got some good vitamin D time today as the weather was really nice. Pulled out the Norwegian spark and cruised down the hill. So much fun. Even went down to the local coffee shop for a coffee on out last trip.



Silly sisters :)

Now off to do some kettlebell ❤️

New year!


Happy new year people


So here we go again. New year new start, right?
Two years into this now. Ups and downs lots of learning and so so so much more to come!!


So many things have happen this past year. New edition to our family. That is now learning food too.  And I have to say this one is gonna be more difficult for me to let have "bad" food. Writing bad with "" because for most people a lot of my kind of bad food is not bad food to them. 
3 1/2 months in Canada. 


(Epic photo)

Such a fantastic wonderful summer. Family and friends I love and and miss so so much! 
Want to see them all again as soon as possible.
Eric is getting his game going and following his dream :)


And for the best end of the year ever my sister came back from Libanon


She is now living with us for a while looking for a job here and getting her husband here too :)
Had not seen her for 4 1/2 years!!!
Cooking is now easier as we have one extra adult in the house. 
I'm gonna try even harder to do better at what I am doing



Couple of food ideas under 

Mashed turnip with cod
Fried up some cod in butter seasoned with turmeric, dill, parsley, curry, salt and pepper

Put some cream (yes full fat) in with the mash ( still not 100% of the dairy as it's hard when everyone else in the house really wants it so that's where I cave. But I do a lot less than before) 

And sprickeled some parmagian on top.
Served with steamed broccoli and iceberg lettuce



DON AIRS

Made a wicked dinner on Saturday. Tina added some new tricks to our cooking too. And I'm sure we are gonna get more :) 

Make a feast like this use iceberg as the wrap! Yum! 





It's been a good year


Happy New Year
