RANDOM BLONDE LAW STUDENT

Hello there! How are you? I hope Monday is treating you well. Me? Oh well, it could be better. On Friday my boy left and went on a tour with his band through Austria, Germany and Belgium all the way to England (they are a punk rock band and if you like that kind of music, you should check them out, cause they are awesome! Just click here: Start At Zero). So I'm at home and gonna be here most of the week. But I decided that these 10 days are perfect to try something, I normally wouldn't. I'm going vegan. For now it's just a challenge, to see, if I can stick to it, but if I'll like it ... well, who knows. ;)

And even though it's only been 3 days, I already have a recipe that I want to share with you (I adopted the recipe from here). Vegan pancakes. No cow milk, no eggs, no butter. Yeah, no animals or animal products in here. But they are still the best "American" pancakes I have ever made and ate. Seriously. I couldn't believe the fluffiness when I tried the first pancake. And of course I had to eat like 6 more of them after that. Yummmmmmm! :3

But, how can you make pancakes without eggs, you ask me. The secret is: chia seeds. They act as eggs and tie everything together.

You will need (I made approximately 15 pancakes):

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (250ml)
• 1/2 cup regular white flour (125ml)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (13g or 1 whole package)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 + 1/2 cups rice milk (375ml)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

The procedure:
First mix all the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and rice milk and mix again. Add the chia seeds, mix well and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, so the chia seeds moist (or expand or whatever they do in moist environment ... damn, that sounds so professional haha).

Use a non-stick pan (so you won't need any additional fat) and put the stove on low heat (well, medium, a little bit lower than the heat you usually use for making pancakes ... so the pancakes won't burn that easily ... but it takes just a second or two longer to make them ... be patient, they are worth it!). When they are golden brown on one side (the bubbles will form, but they form before the pancake is done, at least they did in my case, so they don't help a lot), turn them around and bake them on the other side too. Don't make them too big, cause it will be harder to turn them, because they are soooo fluffy.

And that's all, folks. I topped them with peanut butter and banana. You can also use any other (vegan or not) topping. They go with everything. Hope you'll like them. :)

Love, Kaja ♥

Time to eat healthier. Whole-grain wheat pancakes for example. And a banana and some home-made strawberry jam as a side. Yum!

Used (for 5-6 pancakes):

• 1 cup of whole-wheat flour (cup = 250 ml)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of milk
• 3 teaspoons of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda

I mixed everything in a bowl with a fork. I baked them in a non-stick pan, so I didn't use any butter or oil or any other fat. A healthy and delicious idea for breakfast.

• 1 skodelico polnozrnate moke (skodelica = 250 ml)
• 1 jajce
• 1 skodelico mleka
• 3 čajne žličke rjavega sladkorja
• 1 čajno žličko sode bikarbone

Z vilco sem vse sestavine zmešala v skledi. Pekla sem jih na teflonski ponvi in nisem uporabila čisto nič maščobe (masla ali olja).

Perfect lazy food for the first day of the year. Yum.

Love, Kaja. ♥

Čas za drugo stvar s seznama: palačinke. Tokrat ne bom pisala recepta, saj vas verjetno veliko dela palačinke po svoje poleg tega pa je verjetno nešteto receptov objavljenih na spletu. Povedala bom samo, s čim sem jih nafilala.

Uf, ta teden si pa kar privoščim. V ponedeljek in torek sem imela faks, tako da sem dneve preživljala predvsem za knjigami ter v knjižnici z ostalimi člani pogajalske skupine (jutri imamo v okviru predmeta Konkurenčno pravo EU in postopek simulacijo pogajanj in se je bilo potrebno pripraviti malo). Po dveh študijskih dneh pa sem privoščila dva dneva zase, shopping in hrana. Kam češ lepš. Včeraj v Lundu (Nova), danes pa v Malmotu (Emporia). Seveda sem tudi kupila par reči in tako odkljukala nekaj stvari z moje liste želja.

Trenutno pišem blog zato, ker čakam da se spečejo moji browniji. Sem pa danes tudi nekaj drugega preizkusila. Pred nekaj dnevi sem zasledila zanimiv recept za paleo palačine. Ker vem, da verjetno veliko ljudi ne ve kaj pomeni tisti paleo pred palačinkami, je tukaj definicija z Wikipedije:

Torej, bistvo je, da ješ kar so jedli praljudje = nič predelane hrane. Samo tisto, kar lahko uloviš ali nabereš. Upam, da sem prav razumela. Ampak da se ne bo kdo ustrašil, ne, ne delam nobene diete, samo recept mi je bil zanimiv in zato sem ga hotela sprobat. Dobila sem ga na blogu Bukla na Buklo.

Original recept. Moj recept:

2 jajci

1 banana

malo cimeta

kokosovi kosmiči

Banano sem zmečkala. Jajce sem zmešala in dodala banani. Nato sem dodala še cimet in kokos. Naredila sem več majhnih palačink v teflonski ponvi. Ker sem seveda preveč sladkosneda, sem kot prilogo uporabila dulce de leche (se mi zdi, da ne paše v paleo dieto). Hihi. Ampak ja, zelo preprost recept za zelo odličen obrok (najbrž bolj za zajtrk kot za kosilo). Priporočam.

I'm really enjoing this week. On Monday and Tuesday I had some classes, so I spent my days behind books or in the library with other members of my negotiation group (tomorrow we have a negotiation simulation within our EU Competition and Procedure Law course, so we had to prepare ourselves for that). After two study days, I took two days for myself. Shopping and food. What else do you need. Yesterday in Lund (Nova) and today in Malmö (Emporia). Of course I bought some thing and check some stuff of my wish list.

I'm writing this post while waiting for my brownies to bake. But I also tried something else today. A few days ago I came across a recipe for Paleo Pancakes. Since not everybody knows what that paleo word in front the pancakes means, I got the definition from Wikipedia:

So the general idea is that you only eat what cavemen ate = no processed food. Only the stuff you can catch or pick. I hope I got that right. But don't worry, I'm not on a diet or anything, I just thought the recipe was interesting and I wanted to try it. I found it on a blog called Bukla na Buklo.

Original recipe. My recipe:

1 banana

a little bit of cinnamon

coconut flakes

I mashed the banana. Mixed the egg and add it to the banana. Then I added some cinnamon and coconut. I made more little pancakes in a non-stick pan. Because I can't live without too much sugar, I added also some dulce de leche as the dressing (not paleo I think). Hihi. But yes, a really easy recipe for a really delicious meal (probably more for breakfast than lunch). I recommend it.

Hej då, Kaja. (:

Sorry, this had to be posted. Danes sem uživala v samotni nedelji. Preživela sem jo za računalnikom, pisala esej in se učila švedsko. Svetel trenutek dneva: peka palačink in ogled dveh novih delov druge sezone serije Bron, švedsko-danske serije, ki se odvija v Malmötu in Kopenhagnu. Priporočam!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and since I was at home, I was the one in charge of making lunch. My dad wanted pancakes, so I made them. We usually make normal, thin pancakes, but yesterday I made American pancakes. You know, the thick, fluffy ones. I changed the recipe a little bit, so the pancakes actually were whole-wheat and not so sweet (who needs sugar in the pancake, if you can put a pound of Nutella on it :D) and in the end they were really fluffy and tasty and thick. Yum. And now, cause I'm such a nice girl, I'm gonna share the recipe with you.

Put the flour, salt and baking powder in one bowl and mix it well. Take another two bowls. Separate the eggs and put the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in the other. Beat the egg whites into snow (until they are hard and you can put the bowl upside-down over your head and it doesn't fall down). Add the sugar and milk to the egg yolks and mix well with a mixing machine. Add the mixture to the "flour mixture" and mix it well. And in the end, add the egg whites and mix everything WITH A SPATULA (IMPORTANT! They get more fluffy if you don't mix it with the mixing machine and if you use a spatula). Heat up a non-stick (teflon) pan and use a small scoop to pour the mixture to the pan. The pancakes should be small (about 10 cm wide). When bubbles appear on the top, you turn the pancake around and bake the other side until it's golden brown.

What about the topping?

You can use whatever you want: Nutella, jam, fruit, maple sirup, butter, cream...my favorite are pancakes with Nutella and bananas. :)

That's it. Enjoy the yummy fluffy pancakes, just like my family and I did. ;)

Love, Kaja
