My mom made these for us growing up but she used can biscuits instead of homemade ones. Feel free to do that if you’d like to make this quicker and easier. I prefer the taste of homemade biscuits and haven’t bought a can of biscuits from the store in years! So if you have 5…

Continue ReadingAre you a fan of Mexican food? Do you smile at all the taco memes and obsess over tacos? I don’t. There, I said it. I’ve never been a big fan of tacos. Why? I am not that big a fan of a lot of ground beef in any form (meatballs, meat loaf, sloppy joes,…

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…

I 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.

Serve with a piece of rye bread and you are basically going to start speaking Finnish (except JK ’cause it’s way hard!). Even better…

This recipe has been a part of my go to recipes since the month my first baby was born. It’s so delicious, dirties very, very few dishes, and is super quick. It makes enough to feed a crowd too which is nice for bringing a meal to someone or inviting guests over. I often times…

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…
