Christmas Ride with Kajsa Ålund

True magic means for me adding some festive touches to home which make the days all more cheery and memorable all winter long.

Poinsettias still my one most favorite Christmas flowers. For many years now this cheery plant has been brightening up my home.

My day started with a Christmas ride at Urban Ride in Stockholm, then I went with my boyfriend to get a big Xmas brunch at Urban Deli in Södermalm, and we bought some food. Now our home is full of yummy food for my tummy.

Back to home, I wanted to try baking and have a healthy little Christmas. If you love chocolate then you’ll love this recipe.

A delicious healthy treat for dessert or a breakfast.

Here is the recipe. Hope you will try it and enjoy it!

THE KETCHUP TO MY FRIES

YOU ARE THE KETCHUP TO MY FRIES

Hahahaha it is a nice love quote especially for those who are food lovers like me!! BUT I’m not a big fan of cooking lol!

On the other side, I admire men who can cook, those who enjoy experimenting and being creative in the kitchen.

I grew up with the mother who has to cook for us every single day and many times I saw my father get kicked out of the kitchen because he didn’t know what he was doing and would burn something the first chance he got.

That’s why I can’t be with a man who can’t depend on himself and demand me to cook for him every day.

When it comes to future, I think that cooking is a great way to show a woman like me that life is not going to be stereotypical with you.

And believe me being a good cook is practically a rare talent among men these days, and it certainly makes a guy stand out from the crowd. So try to impress your girl with a good meal 😉
