Scandinavian style - Tine Kjeldsen's home

I just found a feature on EstMagazine #4 about one of the first Danish homes I saw (on a magazine but can't remember exactly which) after moving to Denmark. I remember starting to fall in love with Scandinavian style when looking at those pictures.

At the time I had never heard of the name Tine Kjeldsen but soon I came to discovered all the beautiful images and products from her company Tine K home. Her catalogue is absolutely gorgeous and a "must go to" when I need a Scandinavian style inspiration mixed with some ethnic influences (because sometimes one gets tired of all clean, straight lines in black and white).

You can see the whole feature here. But in the meanwhile I leave you some of the photographs by Jacob Gils.

Oats Pancakes

I've posted a recipe for pancakes before. But after a few months of normal pancakes, time has arrived for the diet pancakes. When I first heard of this recipe, from my mother, I thought it was a weird thing. But after actually giving it a try I loved it, and it's the only pancakes I have now. It's really simple and... hey! It's healthy too (well depends on what you put on them after).

1,5 spoon of oats

1,5 spoon of cottage cheese

1 egg

a pinch of salt

Mix all in the blender. 

Fry in a well heated frying pan with a tiny bit of olive oil...I'm Portuguese, we cook everything with olive oil.

The recipe is for 1 pancake, so just multiply it for how many you want to make. 
And Ta-da, ready to eat. I cut mine in small circles with the help of a glass, and had it with cottage cheese (to be healthy) and my home made strawberry jam (to be yummy).

Minty Summer

A minty and fresh moodboard for this summer. An intire room with this colour seems to me like living in a mix of hospital and "After eight" box". But I like some small details. The Kitchen Aid and the mint retro box for small cakes are my absolute favorites.

Tuukka Koski - or more chocolate pictures

I can't get tired of pictures of chocolate. It's one of the most photogenic things in the entire world. Other examples of photogenic food is coffee, bread and cheese... but then again this may have to do with some sort of personal preference and with how hungry I am at the moment, hehe.

In any case, I believe that some "chocolaty" yummy  pictures are a perfect way to start the weekend and my holidays. 

All pictures are from the Helsinky based photographer Tuukka Koski and about Mast Brothers chocolate.

Home Black&White Moodboard

I've been having a very busy week so I didn't have a lot of time to blog. I have a few weeks of vacation from language school now, so hopefully I'll be more productive. But here are a few pictures of my new moodboard on my living room's wall. I decided to go with a black&white theme for now.
