Pasta salad

I still had some left over pasta last night so I made pasta salad. Again was in a hurry so wanted to make something quick.


pasta, cucumber, red pepper and salad bowl lettuce
plus feta cheese :)

added just a little mayo to get more taste ;)

Friday night-Pasta



Made pasta for dinner last Friday night. Was in a hurry because I was getting late for my small group. Was going to drive my parents to their Bible study group first, so we had to leave earlier.

Just added feta cheese with the pasta and grounded beef from the night before. I really like feta cheese, it's so good with salad and even with pasta/spaghetti.

Pancakes

Made pancakes for breakfast (or rather brunch) today

Used a recipe from a children's cookbook in Swedish.

2 eggs
2 1/2 dl milk (I used oat milk)
1 dl flour (I used spelt today but sometimes I use cornmeal)
a little salt
1 tbsp butter

1. beat two eggs lightly.
2. First add 1 dl milk, flour and salt. whip until the batter is without clumps. Then add the rest of the milk.
3. Melt the butter and mix it in.
4. Heat a griddle and add a little butter before you make the first pancake. Stir the batter a little before pouring or scooping onto the griddle.
5. Turn over the pancake after a few minutes.

Back

I was only sick and away from work for 3 days last week, was back to work last Friday but I still had a cold. So I had a rather relaxing weekend and didn't cook or bake much but took a few pictures. And then this week I have been tired and busy. Didn't upload the pictures until now.

Here are pictures from the last 10 days. Didn't take picture every day so some dates are missing.

Thursday the 14th

patties, like the other day.
potatoes
brown rice

Saturday the 16th

spelt spaghetti

salmon
corn

Monday the 18th

broccoli and red onion
brown rice and butter beans in curry


I also made cinnamon rolls

2 tsp yeast
1 dl milk, lukewarm (I used rice milk)
2 1/2 dl flour (I used spelt)
1/2 dl bran (didn't have it, so I added a little more spelt)
1 tbsp sugar (I used xylitol)
25 gr butter

Filling:
25 gr softened butter
2 tbsp cinnamon-sugar

1.-2. Heat up the milk a little (until lukewarm), then add the yeast and wait for 3-5 mins.
3.-4. Sift flour into a bowl, take aside 1/2-1 dl to use later, then add salt and sugar.
5. Mix the butter with the flour mix.
6. Blend together the yeast mix and the flour mix and knead the dough.

7.-8. Sprinkle the flour that was set aside over the dough and leave to rise for 10-15 mins in a warm place. I put it in the oven at 50°C. Meanwhile make the filling.

9.-10. Put baking sheet on a baking plate. Knead the dough again.

11.-12. Roll out the dough, spread the softened butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar over.

13.-14. Roll up the dough and cut it into pieces. Place the rolls on the baking plate and let them rise for 10-15 mins.

15. Bake the rolls in the preheated 200°C oven for 12-15 mins.
