Celebrating my one year anniversary as a full time entrepreneur!
Last year on this day, November 1st, I had finally taken the plunge and left my full time job. I felt relieved, excited, a little scared and overwhelmed all at the same time. On Halloween I finished my last day as a wine buyer for a large retail store here in New...
Kanelkake; a simple, everyday Norwegian cinnamon cake
It's no secret that Scandinavians have a special love for cinnamon and Norwegians are no different. Cinnamon has been documented to be used in cooking since the 17th century in Norway, but started to be imported already in the 13th century to convent gardens and to...
A bit of my story and announcing my new coaching services!

Are your excuses bigger than your goals and desires?

My Vegan Journey

A Nordic Root Vegetable Stew to Celebrate The Return of the Sun
I was inspired to right about this special day from old times in Norway, as I've recently noticed how the sun rises earlier and stays later in the day, making me feel ready to bid winter adieu and get ready for longer, brighter and lighter days. Sunfest, or "Solfest"...
Simple Yet So Delicious: Norway’s Wildly Popular Raisin Buns
As we often hear, simple foods is often best, and that is certainly true when it goes for Norway's classic "rosinbolle". This fluffy, slightly sweet cardamom scented bun filled with plump raisins are the favorites of many. Millions of these are being devoured yearly...
Why my life coaching is done with a splash of wine
