In my kitchen in February

Welcome to have a peek to my kitchen this month! It's hard to believe that the long month of January is over and we are moving fast towards spring! I’ve been working on my Cheap Eats event cooking a lot of frugal recipes and it has indeed been good saving a little bit of money. If you want to know what the event is all about, have a look here. I would love to see your economical vegan and vegetarian recipes.



There was an absolute sadness last weekend when the storm Malik destroyed our both greenhouses on the balcony. We had tried to secure them, but the storm was just too strong and blew them across the balcony against the railings causing irreparable damages to the aluminium structures. I guess we are still lucky that they didn’t come through the windows or flew on a person. Also that was the only damage we had. This only means, we need a new arrangement for this year’s urban gardening, but luckily there is still some time to plan.


Otherwise I will show you some foods and snacks from my kitchen. This one liter wine box truly is for the frugal ones, it costs 29 DKK (about 3,90 €) only and it’s of decent quality. I especially like the name “Tread gently” and the plantbased carton.

 


I got myself a pizza cutter, because the old ones were either lost or blunt or both. It really is much nicer to cut pizza with a proper sharp cutter. This one is Danish design by Normann. And that pizza in the background will first bake to a crispy crust and then I will cut into it!

 


This vegan bearnaise sauce is really tasty and a life-saver when you don’t feel like making a sauce. It’s brilliant with roast potatoes, but I’ve even had it with pasta and it was good.

 


Last weekend I made vegan sausage rolls and they were really good.

 


I brought this fermented broad bean bits with basil from Finland. Again, it’s a great brand name “Bean better”.

 

I also got these mini rye crackers with sour cream and onion flavour in Finland. They are such good and filling snacks.

 


Talking about snacks, these plantbased truffles by Cocohagen are also excellent.

 


Here are dinosaur corn crisps – ultimately cute!

 


And these are fruity gelatine free Finnish sweets.

 


So, this is pretty much how my month is going. As usual I’m sharing this post with Sherry from Sherry’s Pickings and the In My Kitchen event.

 


Have a nice weekend everyone!

  2. That must have been a major storm! Was it unusual for this time of year, or do you often get big storms? Sorry you lost your greenhouses.

    1. The storm was unusually strong, last similar one was five years ago, so they don't happen so often over here.

  4. Hi there! I used to frequent your blog over 2 years ago while I was blogging on the Blogger/Blogspot Platform...then I took a 2 year break but started a new blog from fresh on a new platform about 4 months ago or so. I hope we can be blogging buddies once again! I'm now located at https://myblissfuljourney.mystrikingly.com/ - I'm so sorry that the storm took out your balcony. Your vegan finds look so interesting! I'm going to catch up on some of your latest posts.

    1. Thank you! Yes it was a shame about the greenhouses. We will figure out a different growing system for the summer.

  6. Wow that must have been some storm! Glad you were ok but so sad about your greenhouses. Would you be able to secure them to a wall on your balcony or would that not have fixed the problem? Your food brought me lots of smiles - that shiny pizza cutter, cocohagen, biosaurous. I am curiously about the fermented broad beans and the bernaise sauce.

    I would love to participate in your event but unfortunately am not able to get much time for blog posts and just can't see myself doing anything in the next few days but I will look forward to seeing what others send in.
