Swedish hard-bread "Knäckebröd"
This summer I had alot of time for things and projects you don't normally find. One of them was baking hard-bread, one of my snack and weekend-breakfast favorites. After trying several recipes this one is by far the best, from Annas Food, a very classical swedish cookbook that I just love. It was very easy to make and they are superyummy and good for you. 100% homemade so you always know exactlly what you give to your body.
For about 20, follow the recipie below:
50 grams of yeast
5 dl of water (room temeperature)
1/2 tablespoon of salt
1/2 kg (one liter) of rye flower (organic)
2 dl of all purpose flour
Mix yeast and water. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix togeather (preferably in a Kitchen Aid or similar). Leave overnight. The next day, split into 20 pieces and use a rolling pin to form thin round breads. They are only supposed to be 1-2 mm thick! Use a fork to "pickle" them. If you want, you can sprinkle them with any type of seed that you want.
Bake off 10-15 minutes in 250 c degrees. Voila! Enjoy!
Great breakfasts
So I am back from a just amazing birthday weekend in Berlin with my family. Lovely! However not very zen. Time to get back on track. Starting already at breakfast time. I looove green smoothies and think they are an amazing way to add more greens to your diet. However, since I am normally very hungry in the mornings, I tend not to have them for breakfast. Instead, in true swedish spirit, I always start the day with some oatmeal, ecological yoghurt, fresh berries if avaliable and some nuts or seeds (in this case pumpkin seeds, great for you since they contain so much zink). And a large cup of green tea. Yummy.
But back to the green smoothies. Regardless if you have them for breakfast, snack or a light dinner, they are so good for you. The video clip below is a great introduction on green smoothies and juices by 2 of my favorites Tara Stiles and Kris Carr (writer of the Crazy Sexy Diet):

Oh and before I forget - Green smoothie of the day!
Strawberries, organic spinach, spirulina powder, banana and soy milk - very yummy and creamy! The classical green smoothie is not supposed to be mixed with anything else than water but soy milk makes it soo good. And adds good veggie proteins.
Smoothie- love, SARA
Off to Berlin...
..for the weekend! Hope to try some organic yummy food and smoothies along with culture and enjoying the sun! My last vacation weekend! Bye summer and hello work! Love and bis montag :)
