Boosts ...

I have improved my walks a lot this last week , I always liked to walk ... and here it is so easy to go down to the sea and stroll alongside the water where all kinds of birds make a soothing sound ... a kind of mindfullness - to be aware ... which also boosts the soul , on my way back I have a hard time to drag myself away from the inviting coffe shops .. since I can spend a whole day at a cafe and love coffe .. but of course more than one time I walk right in and order ... it for sure will increase my day !!

Friday Recipe

Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff

Prep 1/2 a kilo mixed mushrooms , wipe off any dirt and tear or slice them , cut up 2 cleaned leeks , heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan , cook the leeks and mushrooms until browned 8 min. Reduce the heat and add 3 minced garlic cloves , 2 tsp thyme & a little sea salt , pour in 1/2 a cup of white wine , now reduce the heat and let simmer 2-3 min. Dust with flour and whisk a little , add a can of full fat coconut milk , 2 tbsp tahini , paprika powder and half a tsp of dijon , cook for 10 min. more , until the sauce is thickened and very creamy , serve with chopped parsley on top and with the pasta of your choice , enjoy !

Other wise we are approaching the Yule Season , and there will be a lot of small Christmas Markets to visit , time to get out of our comfort zones and move around a bit , time to be great , see friends and enjoy life , winter life ... aka Mulled Wine - Cheddar Scones & Chocolate , if I can decide ...

Have been for a wonderful long ( 10 km ) walk today, with Sylvia , around a lake called Nävsjön in fantastic weather blue skies and sun … stopping from time to time just gazing , the beauty of nature !

Am at the moment all curled up in my favourite corner with some delicious green tea & chocolate, listening to Bamboo Flute Music & reflecting on this inspiring Friday… looking forward to the weekend…

Do your thing .. dance .. laugh .. love .. smile .. and be kind …
