This post is quite spontaneous. Today I've been on a road trip with a friend of mine and while driving trough the beautiful landscapes, stopping here and there to take a closer look, take photos or find some geocaches I've been contemplating about how much this beautiful Mother Nature means to me. As my friend is a passionate geocacher (you can go see what this hobby is all about at www.geocaching.com ) she'll drag me out at least every once a week to go on road trips, walk in the forest, go to some lake, climb trees, go to some islands, walk in the park or climb mountains to find these little boxes with a note pad inside to write our name to tell "whoever" we were there and enjoyed the journey. So, thanks to my friend, the last couple ...
Dried yellow chilli
Good day! While working on some larger projects and preparing a description and pattern for the crochet shawl I've been working on for a while I wanted to share a fun little project with you. I loooove these useful and tasty homegrown, dried yellow chilli peppers. You might already have seen my canned yellow chilli peppers ... you'll find it HERE http://www.gudruns.blog/2018/07/canned-yellow-hot-chilli-peppers-💥/ I also saved some of the chillis from my friends garden to hang dry in my kitchen. I love making my own chilli powder or chilli flakes to use in my cooking. Drying whole chilli peppers are easy peasy. You just pick whole chilli grab a needle and thread and use the needle to "sew" the chilli peppers on to the thread. I ...
DIY Kaffe peeling
🇬🇧English👇🏻 Hei og god mandag! Idag tenkte jeg å dele oppskrift på en finfin hjemmelagd peeling-krem lagd av sheasmør, kokkosolje, eteriske oljer og kaffe. Hvordan er det med sommer-huden din? Er den klar for høstlige dager eller er den litt tørr og bitt av sol og bading og sommervarme? Det er aldri feil å skrubbe av litt døde hudceller for å gi huden fin glød og mulighet for dannelse av nye, friske hudceller. Denne hjemmelagde skrubben er både skånsom, effektiv og gir god næring til huden. Visste du at kaffebønner inneholder mye fett som er kjempebra for tørr hud. I denne peelingkremen er det også frankincense eterisk olje som beskytter cellene og er veldig bra for huden, hjelper mot arr og elding av huden og copaiba som forsterker ...
Yellow sunshine soup
Hello and happy Saturday. Hope your weekend is good. Today I want to share the recipe for a tasty, summery, yellow sunshine soup, made of sweet corn 🌽 zucchini/ squash, coconut milk and fresh turmeric root. I love soups, even in the summer. This one is light and fresh and can even be consumed cold if you have any leftovers. The corn will soon be ready to harvest - and that's by the way one of my favourite things to go harvest at the near-by farm. Grilled, freshly picked sweet corn is sooo good. Freshly pickled corn can even be eaten raw. It's sweet and delicious. So, if you, like me, love picking sweet corn you should definitely try this yellow sunshine soup. You can even use leftover corn after bbq or if you cook a few extra corn. ...
Instant sunshine popsicles ☀️
Peppermint-Melissa tea popsicles with Caramelised kumquat Wow! How cool is that?!? To make popsicles of tea made from your own homegrown garden herbs!! I love herbal tea made of peppermint and Melissa - it’s fresh, cooling and uplifting. It works perfect both as warm tea and ice tea, so if you have some leftovers after making tea in your tea pot, don’t throw it away! And as a bonus melissa and peppermint both have some wonderful medical properties. Soothing, calming, antibacterial, supporting digestion and so on. So, I got this idea it might be yummy to make iced tea popsicles. I had a few kumquat from my friends greenhouse and I wanted to use these for something fun. Citrus are all uplifting and works as instant sunshine. So this ...
Eco friendly palm leaf plates
God 1. August! Happy August 1st. I love the month of August. It's both summer and early fall. August always comes with blank, fresh pages to fill in and feels like a fresh start. I'm having a few days off - like really off. Just recharging, breathing fresh air, enjoying the view, crocheting, planning for new projects, new recipes and new ideas for the blog. But somehow during my day off I did some shopping that made me kinda excited. I usually don't write "shopping related " articles here on my blog, and this post is not an advertisement (!) I just write about the stuff I found because it made me happy and excited. If you click on the pictures and buy the products listed below I'll get a small affiliate percentage. (Affiliate ...

Gardeners Peppermint tea. 🌱 (and how to easily dry your garden herbs)
Peppermint tea made of real peppermint leaves from the garden is one of my all time favourites. ❤️ Peppermint isn't just tasty and have a wonderful aroma and scent it also has soothing and cooling effects it helps digestion and makes you feel more comfortable after eating a heavy meal. And if you wonder why people of Northern Africa drink sweet, warm peppermint tea during the warmest days, I can tell you; peppermint is cooling and the warm beverage makes the body absorb the water and liquid more easily... and if you sweeten the tea using for example honey you'll have a little boost of energy during the day... specially after lunch ... So, my favourite peppermint tea is made of peppermint leaves from the garden. You can use fresh ...
