The other day I was walking down the organic section and I found some artichokes. I boiled them in some salt water, and then I just needed some dip to go with it. So I came up with this recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup (2.5 dl) yoghurt
1 tbsp sour creme
2 green onions
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup (1 dl) peeled and cubed zucchini
1 tsp dried thyme
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt & pepper to taste
Mix everything in your blender or food processor. And you have a lot of dip. Freeze or keep in refrigerator.
So this is going to be the last post this week. We are headed to the middle of no where this weekend. Hiking, and living in a cabin. Love it!!!!

So first of all I would like to share with you that I am going to run a 10 K in a couple of weeks. Yes! Nothing like a new goal to reach for! It is something to keep me motivated!
So one of our close friends up here in Alaska went fishing this past week. And he came back with a lot of fish, and included was as you can guess: Cod. So since there is nothing better than fresh fishcakes, I just had to make some. Earlier I have made: “Norwegian Fish Cakes” that was made of tilapia. These that I made this time is a little bit different than those once.
So I craved something sweet. And came up with these. I used sorghum flour which has a certain flavor to it. You can use whatever flour you want:) All products that I use is organic. And without GMO.
Makes 12 muffins
2 eggs
1/2 cup (1 dl) maple syrup
4 oz (113 gr) apple sauce
1/2 cup (1 dl) coconut milk
1/4 cup (1/2 dl) oil
2 cups ( 7 dl) sorghum flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla sugar or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
honey (optional)
————————–
Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C)
1.Whisk the eggs until fluffy.
2. Add maple syrup and apple sauce and whisk for 1-2 min.
3. Add the remaining ingredients minus the honey
4. Pour your batter into pre oiled muffins cups or pan. And if you want to drizzle some honey on top of the 2/3 filled cups.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep a eye on the muffins.

Looks lovely right? Who does not love ice creme. But then again did you choose low fat, or did you choose sugar-free, or is it one sweetened with one of the new natural sweeteners like agave nectar or honey? Why do I ask?
Because you might think you do the right thing by picking up that low fat item, but before you do read the label.
You should do the same thing if you choose to go sugar-free. The chemical /artificial sweeteners used such as aspartame, splenda etc. Have shown to have all more negative things then positive sides to them.
This might be the milk that you drink, you might have a couple of items stored in your fridge with the word “low fat” on it. But did you ever look at the calorie and sugar content?
“Low fat” products tend to have a higher sugar content than a “non-low-fat” product. Manufactores turns to an increase in amount of fructose, the sugary corn syrup to improve the taste of the product. Just walk into any store, and see how many products you can find with high fructose or corn syrup, it’s almost in everything. Check out the movie “King Corn” just saw it my self, they are talking about the same thing there too.
Bottom line, always read the label. They might advertise with low fat, lower fat, very low fat and light products. But what about the calories and sugar content. They say they are a “healthier” option, but that’s just a trick. So if you are a person trying to loose weight: Step away from the low fat!!!
