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.

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...

Making Chicken Satay From Scratch

Alright, it took a while before I got into gear and actually started writing more blog posts for this blog and I'm sorry about that. Anyway, earlier this week I ended up making Chicken Satay from scratch, thanks to a recipe I found in a Norwegian cookbook called Alt Asiatisk 2 - Enkelt, raskt og godt by Elisabeth Le. She also writes the food blog called Alt Asiatisk , so if you understand Norwegian and enjoy various types of Asian cuisine, it's worth checking out. As I didn't have any skewers, I couldn't put the pieces of chicken on those, but it made making this dish a bit less of a hassle in one way. Personally, I found the recipe fairly easy overall and most, if not all, ingredients could be found at either a regular grocery store or at least a well stocked supermarket, which is always a bit neat. Regardless, the end result was really tasty and I'm sure I'll make it again some time. The only thing is that one need to plan a bit ahead, as the chicken needs to...

Salmon Lasagna With Squash And Asparagus

I've finally created something in the kitchen from one of my cookbooks again. As I had some salmon I wanted to use up, I decided making salmon lasagna with squash and asparagus from Trines mat (Trine's Food) by Trine Sandberg. The recipe was easy enough, although slightly time consuming and probably better to make during the weekend. Another slight issue was, I don't know if it was because I used the wrong dish or something, but the sauce didn't go all the way to the top so to speak, so the top layer with lasagna pasta got crispy and slightly burned instead of cooked when in the oven. So yeah, I had to remove the top layer of lasagna pasta before eating. It tasted okay though, perhaps slightly flavourless in my opinion, but perhaps it is because I enjoy using a lot more herbs and spices. That said, if if made correctly, I wouldn't be surprised if even kids might like it, due to the mild taste (if they enjoy eating fish and veggies, that is). But for me? I'd prob...
