Tomato Butter Bean Salad with Watercress Pesto

I am beyond happy to be dancing around in my kitchen again. The past 5 months I’ve been at a folk high school (a kind of boarding school), which was incredible, but I haven’t been cooking (almost) at all. Back home I’ve been making salads en masse. It’s undoubtedly my favourite thing to cook, so the first recipe back on the blog, had to be a salad. I know, one would have it a guess at cookies…

Hi world. How fantastic it is to see you again. Sprouted Fig has had a little breather, and I some room for thought the past year. Now, I’ve decluttered everything, thrown away, sorted out. The only thing left is a raw and almost empty Sprouted Fig, I can’t wait to fill with food love and Back in 8th grade when I started the blog, I didn’t even dream that I 6 years later would still be in love…

(Late) Merry Christmas! This Christmas just passed so quickly. It feels like I just started the Christmas vacation, but now it’s already soon 2013. Well, I know Christmas and new years eve are very close to each other but… I hope you all had a great Christmas! Our Christmas Tree Did you have snow? Unfortunately we didn’t 😦 In Denmark we celebrate Christmas on the 24th of December – in the…

Quinoa Berry Summer Salad w/ Thai Inspired Mango Dressing

A very nutritious, refreshing and filling summer salad with berries, melon, greens and a wonderful, tangy mango dressing. Sund sommer salat med quinoa, friske bær, sommergrønt og mangodressing The past month I’ve done something I never thought I’d do; I’ve been travelling alone. China, Hong Kong and Japan. I suddenly had the money and time, so I decided to just go for it. And what an adventure it…

At the time of writing I am sitting in Helsinki airport on my way to Beijing. My one month travel in China and Japan has begun and it feels oddly unreal. I don’t really believe it. I can’t wait to see two countries I’ve heard so much about for myself! That’s the fun thing about travelling – you never really know what you are going to see before you are there. No matter how much you read or hear…

Kammerjunkere // Sweet Vanilla Rusks

Sunde kammerjunkere Healthier vanilla cookies for cold buttermilk soup It’s funny how spring and summer always tend to melt together here in Denmark. We walk around in the dark and cold for months and months and then suddenly in a matter of weeks everything is green, the sun is up all day round and the weather jumps from 8°C to 22°C (46°F to 71). The fruit trees barely have time for flowers…

Chia & Cacao Chocolate Chip Brownies // Creative Nature Superfood Review

Super Food Brownies This post is sponsored. All opinions are my own. Denne post er sponsoreret. Alle holdning er mine egne.  I’ve never been a fan of baking mixes. I’ve always thought it was way funnier to bake yourself – and I’ve always hated thinking about all the crappy stuff that’s in most baking mixes. That is until I received a package from Creative Nature Superfoods the other week. This…

Matcha Shortbread Cookies // Warming up for Japan

Healthier Short Bread Cookies with Matcha Sundere matcha cookies Guys, there’s been quite a change of plans since wrote my post about the future and my gap year. Soooo, I am going to China and Japan in less than a month! I’ll be meeting a bunch of other young people from pretty much all over the world there and travel with them. Pretty crazy, but I am so exited. I plan on make another post about…

Cauliflower Salad with Roasted Almonds, Avocado and Thyme

Super simple and very delicious salad of cauliflower rice and roasted almonds. Simple og let lækker salat med blomkåls”ris”, ristede mandler og avocado.  Once again I find myself apologizing for the absence here on the blog and on Instagram lately. And once again I have to repeat: It’s so good to be back. The last 4 weeks have been crazy, hectic, amazing, stressful and wonderful. As the two…

Soft, vegan spelt chocolate buns Veganske chokoladeboller The most popular bakery in Copenhagen and the cities around it is Lagkagehuset (“Layer Cake House”). And that is no mystery. They make and sell the most amazing rustic sour dough loaves, the most gorgeous cakes, delicious tarts, their very own and sooo delicious croissants and cinnamon buns and the best ever chocolate buns. My dad always…

Vegan thin oat crisps. Gluten free and refined sugar free. Veganske havregrynskager uden gluten og hvid sukker. Okay so I whole-heartedly intended to post a savoury recipe next. 1) Because it’s been ages and I actually cook mostly savoury food AND 2) Because I made the most epic vegan herbed “ricotta” filled shells with tomato sauce the other day, but well, the sun decided to set before I even…

Snøfler // Snuffles – Healthy Rum Cakes

Hjemmelavede, veganske, sunde snøfler. Healthy, vegan Danish rum cakes. Haha, I had so much trouble naming these classic Danish cookies (too many Danish things lately, btw?), because “snøffel” is just cute gibberish. The choice fell on “Snuffles”, because it sounds like the same AND makes me think of Harry Potter (or rather Padfoot), which makes me happy (proud member of the Harry Potter fandom).…

Veganske fastelavnsboller uden raffineret sukker og mel.  Vegan, refined sugar free Danish Shrovetide Buns. Healthy sweet buns with custard. This coming Sunday is Shrovetide – a weird holiday which we celebrate here in Denmark. Originally, many years back, it marked the day of the beginning of the 40 days long fast until Easter, but today it’s just a holiday for children. The second most…

Whole wheat, vegan, soy free sausage rolls Veganske fuldkorns pølsehorn uden soya. Before I went vegetarian I used to joke that the one and only reason I wasn’t a vegetarian was… sausage rolls. People close to me often found that funny since I am quite a gourmet, and let’s be honest… There isn’t much gourmet to sausage rolls. My lovely friend Karen and I have our very own signature sausage rolls,…

Sour Dough Spelt Waffles

100% spelt waflfles made with sour dough and vanilla. Dairy free. 100% spelt vafler med surdej og vanilje. Mælke-fri.  Happy 2016! Better late than never right? I hope you all had a magical Christmas and an amazing new year. I don’t know what happened during the holidays… I usually spend all the time in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes and ingredients. But the cooking part of my brain…

Cinnamon Treats – The Recipe ReDux

Denne post vil kun blive skrevet på engelsk, da det er en del af et amerikansk link up. Jeg er tilbage på dansk igen snart.  One of the things I love most about the blogging world is all of the amazing communities and groups for bloggers created by bloggers. Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to announce that this month I got to join the Recipe ReDux – a group of health orientated food bloggers who…

Cheesy Vegan Butternut Squash “Alfredo”

Creamy, cheesy, grain free spaghetti with butternut squash sauce and lightly fried kale. Vegan. Cremet, ostet, frynfri spaghetti alfredo med butternut squash sauce og let ristet palmekål. Vegansk.
