Taco Casserole With Beans And Carrots

As I was fortunate enough to get my hands on some ground beef, I of course knew I had to make something. I found yet another recipe in Trines mat by Trine Sandberg, which in this case was a taco casserole with beans and carrots.

This taco casserole, which has a nachos vibe to it, was one of those fairly easy everyday dinners to make and somewhat filling. An added bonus was that as it has both beans, onion, and carrots in it, it has a somewhat healthy element to it. Nothing wrong with eating a few veggies here and there after all.

At least for me, it's a dinner I would love to make again some time in the future.

Acehnese Chicken With Curry Leaves

As there was a combined Asian and Middle-Eastern grocery store that has finally opened in the small coastal town where I live, it made it a lot easier for me finding some non-western cooking ingredients that the "regular" grocery stores and supermarkets don't have. One of those things being curry leaves, which meant I could finally make Acehnese Chicken with Curry Leaves from the cookbook named Coconut & Sambal by Lara Lee. While this was perhaps a slightly more complicated and time-consuming recipe, it was still fairly easy to make. Even with A LOT of chili in it, it didn't taste too overpowering spicy hot, but I do enjoy when the food has a kick to it. I can admit I'm more used to Thai, Chinese, and Indian food, so I do enjoy trying something a bit different from time to time, and I'll probably make this one again some time.

Why Am I Starting This Blog?

I've been thinking about starting this blog for quite some time and I decided to bite the bullet and actually do it. Why? Because even though Instagram is fun and all that, I felt it didn't quite work out for me the way I wanted. Anyway, let's go back to some time last year. As a book dragon who loves to cook and bake, I naturally have quite a collection of cookbooks (perhaps no shocker there), but I rarely used them. Some? Yes, but most certainly not the vast majority. So I went through them all with page markers (those small sticky post-it style things) and marked each page where I found a recipe I wanted to try that looked interesting and/or tasty. It was a bit labour-intensive as I've got quite a collection of cookbooks, but it was still fun to do. I slowly started working my way, making some of the recipes, while also posting on Instagram and creating a hashtag for the project ( #kristinscookbookproject ). As I mentioned, Instagram is fun and all that, but with th...

Panko Crusted Cod

Sometimes I'm craving a bit of seafood, so I found a recipe for panko crusted cod with a salad in a Norwegian cookbook titled "Karlas kjøkken - hverdagsmat på menyen" (roughly translated as Karlas Kitchen - Weekday Food On The Menu). Both the fish and the salad was easy enough to make, but I didn't bother making the remoulade as I had some sour cream in the fridge I wanted to use up before it expired. Also, I made some homemade mashed potatoes to make the dish a little bit more filling. Overall I dare say it was a nice meal. Not the most spicy by any means, but it was good nontheless.
