KITCHEN LIGHTS

The Christmas fairy lights, the illuminating stars in the windows, and the sparkling Christmas tree.., all gone! Packed away in the basement again, leaving the house so much darker.

So happy with our Christmas presents though...two Lampe Gras N304, giving us some extra, super flexible work light in the kitchen.

 In addition to several double ceiling spot lights, these wall lamps create a nice atmosphere in our kitchen.

 It is important to place the lights in various heights in a room, to create a balanced and comfortable lighting. If possible, get dimmers on all your lamps as well, giving you the opportunity to lower or increase the intensity of the light  :-)

NIB want`s to know how we use light around the house, well... this is how we light up our kitchen :-) Get some great lighting tips Here 

A lazy Sunday is almost over, I am having some tea, and enjoying the last of the wonderful fig and nut cake my sweet mother in law makes every Christmas. Getting the family ready to start work and school again tomorrow. Bring it on 2015, we are so excited!! :)

Fresh coriander

Toasted whole grain rye bread.

MANGO YOGHURT DRESSING:

1/2 mango fruit chopped into cubes

Garnish:

Avocado slices

Red onion rings

Green salad

Start with the mango yoghurt dressing.

Mix everything in a bowl, and keep refrigerated until serving.

Chop the burger ingredients and mix together using an immersion blender.

Make burgers and fry them on both sides for 2-3 minutes on medium heat.

Toast the rye bread, and top it with salad, burger and dressing. Garnish with some sliced avocado, red onion rings and freshly ground black pepper.

Enjoy!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

Well.., I guess you know me by now...,:)) I did two table settings yesterday, and here is the dark one :-D

The house smells of delicious lamb meat cooking in the kitchen right now, and we are almost ready to get the party started.

 



The table looks like a starry midnight sky :)

NEW YEAR`S DESSERT

 

 

Super easy dessert comming up :-)

I am sure you have all of the ingredients already...

 

 

 

- Vanilla ice cream

( I used Dream Yoghurt Ice cream, so light and fresh)

 

- Left over Christmas cookies

( I used my amaretto almond biscotties )

 

- Cold espresso

 

- Mandarin filets

 

- Flaked almonds

( Or chopped almonds)

 

- Chopped dark chocolate

( I used Mocca beans for extra coffee flavour)

 

- Homemade Sugar spin

( Tutorial Here )

 

 

 

 

Easy fix:

 

Chopped the cookies, and mix into the ice cream.  Add the cold espresso, and freeze until serving.

Make the sugar spin. It is much easier than it looks, and lots of fun to make sugar decorations :)

Slice the mandarin into thin filets.

 

To serve:

Use a mandarin slice to wet the rim of the dessert glass, then dip the rim in light brown muscovado sugar. Decoration only ;)

Sprinkle some of the chopped cookies into the glass. Place a scoop or two of the espresso ice cream on top, and garnish with chocolate, almonds, mandarin filets and the fantastic sugar spin.

ENJOY!

NEW YEAR`S SPARKLE

 

Hope you are enjoying these lovely, lazy Christmas days as much as I am:-) Sitting here in the window seat today, looking at the New Year`s table I just finished.

 

 

A shimmering, starry theme, with some simple green spuce branches instead of flowers. Some gold metal wire, and even the candles got spruce decorations ;)

 

 

My "crystal" glasses serves as candle holders, because they leave such beautiful reflections in the room when the candles are lit. You can buy them HERE   My tableware is, Saturn, from Porsgrund Porselen. A wedding present fifteen years ago, but I still love the clean lines and the timeless look.

 

 

 

When the glasses are filled with bubbles, and all the candles are lit, the table is ready to welcome our guests!

A sparkler sets the party mood, and smells of New Year`s Eve :-))
Maybe you got some easy fix, last minute decorating ideas..?
 

 

 

Have a wonderful New Year`s Eve tomorrow, and I hope you will continue to stop by my blog in 2015 as well.

Exiting things are happening you see ;)

 

 

 

 PS! A super easy New Years dessert comming up later tonight...stay tuned!
