15 days until Christmas

Okay.All right-my plan didn´t work :P I was quite busy last five days,so I didn´t get a chance to sit few minutes behind the laptop..therefore I did not post anything since last Wednesday.I apologize :) And I didn´t manage to take any proper pictures(screw me!!)

Thursday 5th

 I went to burn my ass off to the gym :)) and later in evening I was babysitting Kasperi and Vertti.We    

 had much fun together,playing hide and seek and baking ginger breads and decorated them with loads 

 of sugar paste and pearls(I got suspected that some of the decorative past ended up in Vertti´s mouth,he just could not keep his hands of it :)

Friday 6th
The 6th of December is Independence day in Finland.Every market is closed,so you better buy your milk one day before,if you don´t want to drink a morning coffee black :) That´s what happened to us.

Later in a day,family meets for a dinner-I celebrated itsenäisyyspäivä,how they call it,with my boyfriend and his family.We had a glögi,which is form of a wine,heated up and served with almonds and raisins inside the cup.Mäti-salmon eggs with sour cream and rye bread,as an appetizer,then smoked salmon,turkey,reindeer ham,liver casserole with butter potatoes and all the different delicious food.I love Finland when it comes to traditions and cuisine <3 Some day I have to make a post related to this topic ;)
 

After our stomachs got fulfilled,we trundled ourselves to the sofa and watched the official parade,with Finnish president Sauli Niinistö-shaking hands with hundreds of people..that has gotten quite boring at some point,but I didn´t want to be rude,so I watched it until the end :P

These are Duudsonit- Finnish jackass,and what they wore at the parade :)) I adore their jackets!

Saturday 7th
Right after breakfast I went to a ´cave´ with my Brazilian friend Benoit,climb some walls.I only started about a month ago,but I really got into it,it´s kind of addictive sport.And great workout for shoulders and back.

*to be continued

breakfast,oh breakfast

Type word ´breakfast´ to Google search and it shows you plenty of fried eggs with bacon and toast,sausages

croissants,bagels,pancakes,waffles and some porridge and cereals as well.That´s the typical breakfast for most of the people including me.Now,let´s talk more about nutritious and healthy food that is easy to prepare,and can become part of your morning routine.

Commercials are trying to convince us,that cereals are the best and healthiest meal to start a day.I´am not

any nutrition consultant,but i can tell you that early in the morning,i don´t have strong feelings to oatmeal porridge or bowl of cereals :) Only thing that I can get inside my stomach at 7-8 am is smoothie,that I prepare in 10 different ways.It depends on my mood.Here is some ideas how to make your breakfast special.Enjoy <3

banana,lingonberries,coconut cream

kiwi,pineapple,banana,cofee+coconut milk

banana,blueberries,raspberries+turkish yogurt

banana,kiwi,cranberries+coconut milk

                                               pear,grapes,red currants+greek yogurt

Then few hours after b-fast is time for snack.Most often I choose something salty,and rich for proteins,for
example egg-salad or tuna salad,and fajitas always works if there is someone else to eat with me..Don´t be
nut and get yourself something tasty as a snack ;)

fajitas with veggies,minced beef and guacamole dip

caesar salad with avocado,cherry tomatoes and pine nuts

                                             smoked duck breasts with dressing,sweet potatoes,rucola

                                    eggs with bacon slices and steamed zucchini

again egg-salad with chopped nuts,spring onion and avocado

my favorite:steamed carrots,lettuce,avocado,pine nuts and eggs

fried eggs,mushrooms,cherry tomatoes+avocado

                                and the best in the end:grilled goat cheese with strawberries and   
                                beetroot,sunflower seeds


And then there is a weekend when I let myself to eat whatever I wish.Yes,waffles with cream also.You cannot avoid this food in real life,so try to include them into a healthy and balanced diet and you will win!

                                                waffles with cream and strawberry jam

                                          spinach pancakes with lingonberry jam

                                                    ..and ultimate american pancakes with
                                                    strawberries,cream and toppings :P
                       

What a week!

It´s been a powerful week.Literally.Life ´s been so intensive lately,that I´ve got ill,and now the mug with hot tea and packet of tissues are my best friends!I have felt weak since Thursday,but only this morning I woke up with sore throat and runny nose.

But despite of this,I have some great news-I ´ve got a new job,as a waitress for catering company,so

along with babysitting I will be serving guests at fancy parties,pouring sparkling wine in glasses and stretching my legs after every single evening shift ;)

This Friday was my first shift.Catering company I work for,provided party for nerds from ROVIO,  which is a company responsible for Angry Birds.The place was full of stuffed angry birds and bad piggies,every second guy was wearing angry-shirt or hoodie,and me-in black&white running around and filling-up glasses.

 

 

We decided to eat and cook healthy with my boyfriend,so here is something for beginning:berry smoothie made of half banana,100g raspberries&blueberries,coconut milk and orange juice.Taste very fresh thanks to orange juice and have lovely-creamy consistence ;)
I have it almost every morning,when i don´t feel like to eat much.It prepares stomach for the next food and its best start to the day,not mentioning its full of vitamins and antioxidants.
