I came up with this simplest granola a couple of weeks ago. Our family was missing some breakfast alternatives and I thought we hadn’t have good old granola — or müsli like my husband calls it even it’s baked — for a very long time mainly because there simply don’t exist worthy alternatives for healthy granola.

If you are a low-carber, following a gluten-free and grain-free diet, the traditional hot cereal or porridge for breakfast is not an option. So I developed this simple and healthy alternative, which is also tasty and full of nutrients.
Topped with berries, sugar-free syrup, or with a good pat of organic butter, it’s a warming and satisfying breakfast, especially now during the cold wintertime.

This delicious one-bowl bread is a great option when you want some soft, fresh bread quickly and don’t want to put too much effort into making it or use any machinery.
The bread is simple to convert to dairy-free. More of that and also some fascinating tips and photos from my Halloween birthday party in the end of the post.

If you have ever wondered how cloudberries taste, now there is a chance to taste some — without a single cloudberry involved. It’s a well-known fact in Finland that the combination of carrot and gooseberry produce the taste and look of cloudberry — at least they say so. Join me in my story as I explore whether that’s true or not.
If you happen to have some gooseberries at hand, that is a great opportunity to try out this enchanting recipe. If you cannot get gooseberries, I give some suggestions in the end of the post how to replace them.

There are those rainy summer days when I don’t want to leave the house but get warm and cozy inside. Maybe I heat the oven and bake some of my all-time favorite munchies for comfort. This superb crisp bread is one of my all-time favorite munchies. Crunchy, tasty and crispy, without gluten and as healthful as possible, it might become one of your all-time favorite munchies as well.
Munch this crunchy crisp bread just like that, or with butter and cheese. For real comfort, top it with sugar-free strawberry or raspberry jam. My favorite way to eat this bread, in addition to load a slice with butter and cheese, is to crumble it over my breakfast yogurt — it’s just like granola, but not sweet, though.

Paskha or pasha is something many people eat during Easter here in Finland regardless of their religion. We have even commercial — of course sugar-laden — versions of paskha. Originally paskha is enjoyed by Orthodox Christians on Easter and the dish originates from Russia.
Well, for some people Easter is not Easter without paskha, whereas some people cannot stand it. Finnish paskha differs from Russian paskha in the sense that Russian paskha has smooth texture and the ingredients are simpler. Actually I didn’t know this difference before I did some googling and found this recipe for Russian paskha. I adapted my own sugar-free low-carb paskha version from that recipe.
Russian paskha is seasoned with just a hint of vanilla while the Finnish version is bursting with almonds, raisins, sultanas and lemon flavor.

Last summer, I promised you that at some point I’ll publish my extremely versatile basic muffin recipe. Well, now is the point 🙂 This variation is spotted with yummy blueberries. If you like, you can replace them with vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or something else, depending on the contents of your pantry or freezer, or simply what you happen to fancy at the moment. A dairy-free variation is also easy to make with coconut milk.

Stracciatella yogurt is vanilla yogurt with tiny chocolate chips or chocolate shavings. Stracciatella ice cream, yogurt, quark (curd) and alike are very popular especially in Southern and Central Europe. Usually these delicacies are very high in carbs and nowadays contain no-no stuff, like high-fructose corn syrup and cornstarch. Thanks to the grasping food industry, of course.
My recipe, however, is something else. First of all, this yogurt fun to prepare. Secondly, it tastes heavenly. Last but not least, it’s healthy! Just think about the probiotics in the yogurt gently nurturing your stomach while the antioxidants and flavonoids in the darkest of the dark chocolate give your strength and energy.
Now comes the best part: you don’t need more than 5 ingredients to make this dainty. If you would like to make things really simple, you need just 3. Please feast on!

Since pumpkin is in great abundance this fall, I have a good reason to publish another recipe using pumpkin. This yogurt is not only extremely delicious, it’s also extremely healthy as well. It makes perfect breakfast — tasty and satisfying. Create a beautiful pumpkin swirl in the middle of pure white yogurt, or layer the dish into a perfect low-carb pumpkin parfait!
