There are several people in my family allergic to avocados. Luckily, I am not because I love them. Fresh guacamole is so great but so expensive to add onto a taco anywhere you go out to eat! Do people actually pay a whole dollar for a tiny scoop of it?? Now you don’t have to…

Continue ReadingI love salsa. It was my number one pregnancy craving with my first baby. A fresh pico is delicious on a taco to make it feel brighter and fresher. It’s super easy to make and far more cost effective than buying pico at the store. If you make this with fresh garden tomatoes it’s even…

Happy Halloween! Halloween here in Finland is more or less non-existent in the American sense. There are a few things sold at the store that are Halloween related but there’s no Halloween candy and people don’t trick-or-treat. It’s just an ordinary day for most people.

This soup is a traditional and very common Finnish lunch, appetizer or dinner. It’s sold everywhere and it’s honestly one of the best foods that comes from Finland, in my opinion.

Growing up, I had no idea that you could eat beets any way but from a can and then pickled. I thought they were delicious but didn’t discover the real taste without them being pickled till about 4 years ago. In so many restaurants they are served with carrots and potatoes, other root vegetables, and…

About 80% of the time if I ask my husband what he wants for dinner he says, “Something with Rice”. This response has made me get creative with rice dishes throughout our 5 years together now. A lot of times there’s leftover rice so then I’m struggling to find a way to use it and…

I came up with this recipe because I had a lot of extra butternut squash cubes left from when I made my butternut squash soup. I bought too much at the store because I forgot I was measuring in kilos and not pounds. *Facepalm* Anyway, this is an easy side dish and my girls both…
