Gifts from America
I got a big package delivered this week - all the way from the states! It was from my best MKA-friend Celia. I LOVE surprises! Although this wasn’t really a surprise since me and Celia had been blabbing about sending each other a food package ever since we both left the academy. So after what seemed like years it finally arrived! My package to Celia contained THIS. And what I got from...

The little raw cafe

3. Raspberry Kombucha! Finally we...

Raw Coconut Butter DIY
Inspired by the lovely Maud who made her own almond butter last week and inspired by my own latest addiction I made COCONUT BUTTER YESTERDAY!
I bought a jar of Artisana’s coconut butter at Whole Foods before I left OKC. It’s sooo good. I eat it with a spoon straight out of the jar. Haha! I haven’t seen the product in Sweden yet and that makes me fear the bottom of the jar...

Raw Lasagna a la vegan parade
Can’t think of vegetable lasagna without thinking of —-> vegetabe lasagna. Haha! Well, yesterday I made VEGETABLE LASAGNA. All raw and another version of the one we made at Matthew Kenney Academy. Here’s the recipe for one:
