CROWBERRIES

Crowberries are one of the Icelandic "fruits".
Well I know it´s a berry but in a land where you have trouble growing apples...... then those little things are like "diamonds" for us "vikings"..... They grow wild all around the country. Those small black berries are filled with and-oxidants, iron, vitamin C - just packed with nutrients. When I was young my parents always went berry picking in august. Always. And today I go with my girls. We make some yummie picnic out of it as well - food always taste better in the nature. It is so precious moments with my girls, having berry blue faces, most of the berries goes to their mouth...... and the smile is black/blue. :)
I will share some of our recipes.

JAM and CHEESE

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. I was picking black currant with my 3 girls,
Hildur (28) Julia (14) Athena (8 - step daughter).
After wards we went home and made some really delicious JAM

Black currant JAM

1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp shredded lime peel
put everything in a food processor and blend for about 30 -60 sec.
this jam keeps for 10-14 days in the fridge, and for many weeks in the freezer

And then to the CHEESE
I was soooooooo addicted to cheese when I changed my diet - OMG - I thought my live was over and out - and I would be bored until my days end.......
Today I know that the live is just beginning when you change your diet - soooooooooooooo many good things to learn we are so blessed guys :)

I will show you my favorite cheese - so simple and just brilliant. You can use it as a "cheese" sauce on pasta, lasagna, salad or........ You can dehydrate it and then you get a beautiful "parmesan look a like" thing. So many ways to make magic with this simple recipe.

put everything in a blender and blend until smooth. 2 cups of mixture on a teflax shead on a dehydrator tray and even it out with a spatula. dehydrate for 6 hrs on each side or until it is dry.

more blueberries recipe - Kids favorites

I just love to make food for kids :) or have them making food with me. I have this 9 years old friend who some times calls and ask if she can come over and help me in the kitchen.
She specially loves my high speed blender. She puts all kind of fruits
and nuts + water and makes the most delicious smoothies.


We went berry picking the other day and when we arrived back home she asked if we could play with the blender and the blueberries. And so we did. We made this delicious blueberries smoothie out of cashews and some freshly picked blueberries. After drinking 2 glasses she was filled :)
But there was some smoothie left and that we put in some really handy ice cream molds.

This ice cream is just brilliant as breakfast or as a small meal. My 14 years daughter and her friends just loves those after working out or..........
love and blessing in the kitchen with your kids :)
