Matcha Latte

Matcha Latte without coffee, super healthy and super delicious!

Do you know matcha?

If not you definitely missed something in your diet which is really nutritious and healthy. The first time I drank matcha was 2 years ago while I searched for an option to coffee because coffee often makes me too nervous.

I can drink an espresso but I don’t drink coffee that often. Crazy, right?! Matcha is one of the best options to coffee. Matcha is just 100% pure green tea leaves stone ground into a fine powder.

What is it different to regular green tea?

With regular green tea, you brew hot water with tea leaves but then throw them out afterwards. With matcha, you consume the whole tea leaf along with all its green goodness (I know, how have we not been doing that all along?!) On top of that, matcha tea bushes are grown specially under cover which increases the chlorophyll and amino acid levels in the leaves even further. Matcha can have the nutritional value of up to 10 cups of regular green tea and up to 137 x the antioxidants of regular green tea!

The potential health benefits of green tea are well known and include:

  • increased focus and concentration
  • higher energy levels
  • enhanced metabolism
  • stronger immune system
  • clearer skin
  • general improved wellbeing

Eggplant-Feta-Sandwich with Parsley Mayonaise

Eggplant Feta Sandwich nab2 (2)

In love. In Love. In Love. With my new Skeppshults grill pan! Since years I want to buy this pan and know I am the happy owner of this amazing cast iron grill pan.
This pan is made from virgin iron ore and without harmful chemicals. You can easily put the pan in the oven to keep your food warm. I decided to use this grill pan because I read a lot of positive experiences about it.

I received this pan on Friday. Sure it is a bit heavy but also so stable. I love how the pan laying in my hand. I was so happy and can’t wait to start on Saturday with a recipe I had in my mind. Look at these grill pattern. You only get those grill pattern with a grill or a grill pan. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Again in Love.

Toasted bread

My hubby and me love to eat toasted bread with cheese or avocado. During the week we often eat fresh toasted bread. On the weekend we spend more time in the kitchen to prepare those savory meals. We also arrange our own food beautiful on the table to enjoy it. One reason why I use my favorite tableware from broste.

We use spelt Pita Bread for these Sandwich which we bought.

We often eat eggplants. Eggplants curries or grilled on bread. They are so delicious and so easy to prepare.
