Some of my favorite food experiments captured on Instagram. Even thou it is summer now, I am posting some pictures form this spring, a big thank you goes to my parents for supplying us with the produce from their garden.

Roasted white asparagus with balsamico, feta and pepitas salad. White asparagus was one of the first local produce. Spinach and lettuce from the garden.

IMG_20130624_191327Homemade quinoa flatbread with peanut butter and fresh strawberries from my parents garden. Try the flat bread, just grind the quinoa, add salt and enough water to create pancake like consistency. Quick a so good for you.

Making nettle goncci. Nettle grows allmost anywhere like a weed. Making a nettle tea is probably an easier way to get the health benefits than making gnocci from scratch, but hey look at these!

I have just realized I have not updated this blog in a month. How that happened?

It also has been a year since our big move. So I have been looking at some old photos. I hope you won’t get board with the following overload of memories. Here is Vancouver Aquarium.

One of the best places I know. Seriously, I would move in if I could.

Are you familiar with Jovoto? It is a great site for creative people to be part of competitions in areas like communication, graphic and product design. Weekend went by fast, we have been outside a lot (it is spring here finally) and the rest of the days I sat at the computer as much as I could. I am sharing my submissions. You can read the competition’s brief and see more ideas after the click.
