Spanish Omelette

I just love Spanish Omelettes. It's so quick and easy to make and you can add whatever you find in the cupboards or fridge to it. Normally I go for the simple option of potatoes and onion. Sometimes I add some mushrooms, but I guess it stops being Spanish then. Oh well, as long as it's good.

This one is with leek instead of yellow onion.

Spanish Omelette

2 Eggs
Potatoes
Leek
Olive Oil
Ground Paprika
Salt&Pepper

1. Peel and slice or chop the potatoes. I prefer boiling them a while so don't need to fry them on the pan so long.
2. Wash and slice the leek.
2. Heat the pan, add the leek and the pre-cooked potatoes.
3. Beat eggs with drop of water and add spice.
4. Pour the eggs on the pan over leeks and potatoes.
5. Cook until done from other side and then flip over if you like it cooked on both sides.

Green Salad

I made this green salad for lunch today. Wanted something fresh and light since my mum sent me some chocolate Easter eggs from Finland of which I really need to have a little taste before Easter. Really her fault to send them so soon, but I'm glad she did! These are of course Mignon eggs, of which more later. This is ever so simple, but I'll share it anyway. Now it's veggie time.

Dream of macarons

I had a dream last night of macarons. Ones that I'd made and they looked so gorgeous! Lilac and lovely pink ones. Oh, how I wish I could create them in real life and not just in my subconscious. Soon I'll be in Paris, my beautiful Paris and true love. First thing there of course is to indulge in some of Ladurées delicious pistachio macarons. Pure heaven!

Jauhelihamakaronilaatikko

Now that's a long Finnish word and means casserole with minced beef and macaroni. It's a very simple dish and perhaps therefore often served in schools for lunch. The mild flavour and familiar ingredients make it a favourite among children.

Sometimes it's nice to have something that brings up memories and reminds how easy my life ones was.
