We are almost near the end of our amazing trip. The last 12 days are reserved for Albania, North Macedonia and a small part of Greece. We spend a second night at the Albanian side of the Ohrid lake on a beautiful peaceful spot. With carrots, sweet bell pepper, courgettes, soy sprouts, onion and garlic … More Asian style in Albania
After living in Italy for a while, I realized that instead of having carbs as main ingredient, I (we) prefer vegetables. This is of course not how most of the traditional Italian main dishes are served. Our Italian friends will disagree with my recipes and will surely prefer old-school ones. Anyway, as docV I have … More DocV style risotto
The weather has suddenly changed. During our first day in the Lofoten ( we arrived this morning at 3 a.m.) we still had amazing views until, after 6pm the mist barged in. Being tired after little sleep, we installed ourselves to enjoy a cosy campervan evening. I decide to prepare a stew with carrots, tomato … More Lentils in a stew, or could you call it dahl?
What a country, what a powerful nature 💚. What a special experience to park your house in the middle of nowhere and to spend the night surrounded by an extraordinary landscape. As we plan our trip day by day, I buy food for 1, max 2 days. Tonight we’ll have a vegetarian meal with halloumi, … More Middle Eastern cooking on the Gamle Styrnefjellsvegen
We did an amazing hike ( Reinaknuten) today. We hesitated to stay on the starting point, but it was too obvious camping was not allowed ( what’s the difference between camping and parking?). We continued our way and arrived near Dam Lyngsvatn, a beautiful spot which made us believe we landed on the moon. What … More What a beautiful camping spot
Today I check the food storage to find out what to prepare with a bunch of fresh carrots. The peanut butter looks at me and will become the flavor of our dinner. I clean the carrots ( approximately 800 grams) and chop them in little cubes. Chop and fry 4 garlic cloves, 5 cm of … More Peanut butter 😋
I love the transition of an (almost) empty fridge followed by a weekly refill. Certain basic ingredients are always available, such as nuts, asian products, peanut butter, tahini, butter, parmesan etcetera. Before making my weekly shopping list, I check what’s left ( don’t forget to check the storage now and again). Often there is enough … More Empty fridge recipe
A second virus in 2 weeks time is forcing me to slow down ( which is really difficult for me). So my meals will be extra simple and light. Tonight we will have some beautiful salmon with roasted carrots. Wash 2 bunches of carrots carefully so that you don’thave to peel off the skin. Remove … More Start the new year slowly
Eating healthy is not the same as eating light, but tonight we’ll ignore the ‘light’aspect. Again inspired by Donna Hay, I try some of her falafel recipes. For the falafel, drain 1 can of chickpeas. Put in a small blender. Add 3 chopped carrots, 4 chopped garlic cloves, 1 chopped chili, 4 cm of ginger … More Let’s consume some kcal
Health wise I pretty sure docV is doing great. 5-6 k of running every 2 days, regular walks with Oskar and training arm and abdominal muscles every other 2 days. Kcal wise I could consider to pay more attention. ‘A drizzle of olive oil’, some nuts, and, sadly enough, some cheesy snack in between, there … More I consider to pay more attention
