Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

by Sofia   -   in Cooking

Simppeli myskikurpitsakeitto on sopivan lämmittävä illallinen syysiltaan. Tajoile vaikkapa tuoreen leivän ja voin kanssa.

Myskikurpitsakeitto

2 myskikurpitsaa

purkki kookosmaitoa ( jos et pidä kookoksen mausta voit käyttää myös kermaa)

3 dl vettä

1-2 rkl kasvisliemijauhetta

timjamia

oliiviöljyä & suolaa

1. Leikkaa myskikurpitsat pystysuunnassa halki ja poista siemenet. Valele ne oliiviöljyllä ja ripottele pinnalle vähän suolaa. Paahda kurpitsat uunissa pehmeiksi.

2. Kiehauta vesi ja kasvisliemi. Irrota kurpitsasose kuorista ( lusikalla, jätskikauhalla tms.) ja lisää veteen. Soseuta perunasurvimella ( tai Bamixilla).

3. Lisää kookosmaito ja tuoretta timjamia.

Happy thoughts

by Sofia   -   in Random

What a great weekend it was! Was it not? Friday night was just a family dinner followed by some games we played with the whole family while eating dark chocolate and fresh raspberries for dessert. I think it´s such a great time now that we can go to the movies or play games together as Bubble Gum is big enough to participate. It might have been my favourite moment of the weekend.

Another happy moment was taking a relaxing bath after a good workout. I am a big fan of Aerin and her products. So I splurged on a little gift for myself while in New York and bought her new rose body wash and rose oil. I think they look absolutely perfect in my bathroom.

Oh coffee you had me at hello

by Sofia   -   in Random

I know I sound like I´m more of a coffee addict than Lorelai Gilmore herself when writing about coffee so often. But then again I think the name of the blog kind of gives me the right to do so. I wrote to you about my collaboration with Nespresso here. I´m still so in love with my Latissima touch. The only bad thing about it might be that now I probably drink even more coffee than before. I do try to keep my guilty pleasure in check though.

Nespresso came out with new limited edition flavours for the Fall called Palermo ( with flavours of pepper and cocoa) and Milano  ( sweet and fruity) and as in my humble opinion no one does coffee like the Italians do, I was very excited to try these. Have I told you that I get sent a few tubes of coffee every now and then? They arrive to my house by a courier in a matte black box. Very chic. The boxes are called love boxes. And yes, I am in love. I´m really a sucker for a well thought out brand but especially if the product is as good as the brand. And in this case I think it is. Anyhow, the new Italian flavours are rich and strong and every bit as Italian as I wanted them to be. Although they are designed to be drank as espressos or actually even ristrettos ( half the amount of water from an espresso) they also make great cappuccinos ( or cappuccos as the Milanese call them) and lattes. Absolutely worth a try before the Christmas flavours hit the stores. And remember these are limited edition so you may want to hurry with your order before they run out.
