Chopped salmon and avocado egg sandwich

For lunch, we have prepared a chopped salmon and avocado egg sandwich. Sometimes it is maybe difficult what to choose for lunch. We tend to grab the easiest and fastest things we can find. It also has to do with the time I guess, but let’s say we will keep this only for our weekends. It is not only easy to make, but it is also very healthy and tasty too. Ingredients: 1 slice of whole wheat bread chopped salmon creme fraiche watercress cream cheese 1 avocado 1 egg Start with

Let’s talk about coffee, no facts just fun

Let’s talk about coffee, no facts just fun. I like my coffee in the morning very much, how about you? I call for it to feel awake and have a great start off in the morning. There is, of course, a lot to say about coffee, but I keep it in hand by simply drinking 2 coffee’s a day. I play around a little with the variety of coffees. Mostly it is an espresso, but if I want it a bit more fancy I treat myself to a cappuccino or Latte Macchiato. As an example a mood board and access

Nothing better than a fresh cup of tea

Nothing better than a fresh cup of tea. My favourite flavour is Ginger, like the one from Fortnum & Mason, but I also cannot resist a fresh cup of Jasmine tea. Nowadays you see so many beautiful packaging, that it is hard to choose from. Tea originally started in China, when the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath a tree while his servant boiled drinking water when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to try the inf

Recipe for a festive Rum Chococcino

A variation of the hot chocolate is what I call a Chococcino. It is a hot chocolate with frothed milk instead of whipped cream. What you need for 2 mugs is a 125 gram dark chocolate bar of 60%. If you think it’s not sweet enough you can always add some extra sugar in it. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and mix it in. Simmer the milk and add the chocolate bar in small pieces and stir till it’s all creamy and without lumps. Heat but let not boil the milk. Add a dash of your f
