From a year ago




Even though it’s not a thursday, these pictures are a throwback to a year ago. Judging by the Christmas decorations it was probably early January. We went out for a midday fika, which usually means tea and cakes.  This place has fantastic cinnamon buns(kanelbullar) but I wanted to try something new so I got this chocolate mousse cake. I’m obsessed with cinnamon and chocolate too, but this time cinnamon wins :D

7 breakfasts


I am not so much of a breakfast person and most often I’ll just have a cup of a plain yoghurt or some fruit. However, around the holidays it’s different… Btw, it’s so dark in Sweden this time of year. First thing I do in the morning is turn on the lights. Some days it gets brighter around 10-14 but for the most part it’s dark. Back to the food… I absolutely love dried figs so I got a plate of those with a big glass of water.  


This bread, which you can’t really see properly, is whole grain rye bread and it’s amazing. I have on some butter, cheese and some cherry tomatoes. 


This is something I try to drink daily. It’s just boiled water with lemon juice. I probably was naughty the day before and still full :D 


Rye crisp bread with Philadelphia cheese and some pepper. 


Plain yoghurt, kiwi and some crushed almonds. 


Love this combination of chocolate and fruit. It’s even better when the satsumas are a bit sour!


This is pretty much Christmas food. I’d say eggs with caviar are probably the best part. I am so impatient, can’t wait for this again and more tonight!

Christmas market at Tjolöholm castle


Every year we try to visit a Christmas market close by. 


Tjolöholms castle is not that close, about an hour from the city, but it’s so worth it!


There’s a lot of stands where you can by honey, sweets, mustard, decorations, Swedish crispbread… I, of course, went straight for the fudge :D


How cute is this Christmas three?!


Fika time-mulled wine and ginger bread!




More pretty stands…







Detail. 



Castle itself was packed with people with small children who all wanted to see Santa, so we took a walk outside instead.  So magical!
