Finding Funnel Chanterelles from bear forest

I have always been a city girl in my heart. It was not until I was an adult that I was introduced to a real forest, a place far from civilization, not just the little patch of woods in a parkway just down the road. For one year during the early years of our marriage […]

Yellows and Oranges

Autumn is definitely a glorious time with the abundance of fresh produce on hand. The berries, mushrooms and the harvest from our small garden has certainly kept us busy. I have taken quite a few photos and have recipes on hand, but my only challenge is that, just like you, I only have twenty-four hours […]

Fall, the zoo and scalloped potatoes

Nearly every year we visit the Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki. The zoo is on a little island right off the shore of downtown Helsinki. There is even a ferry that will take you there for a small fee or you can drive and park on a neighboring island and make the short walk along the […]

Summer Picnics

Sometimes summer makes you wait in Finland, and it feels like it doesn’t really arrive until July. But this year summer arrived at the end of May. We have been enjoying our time at the beach just down the road. One important part of making a trek to the beach is the “picnic”. It is […]

Friday Night Pizza

Last week was filled with outdoor skating and a trip to the Tampere area and a visit to Mummo and Pappa’s house. It is always a highlight for the kids to visit their grandparents. While the older kids went skating at Mummo and Pappa’s house, little Isabella and I took a little kicksled outing down […]

Winter hikes and Chicken Wok with Avocado Pasta

We have been having beautiful weather. The sun has been so bright and the sky cloudless. Nevermind that the temperature has hovered close to -30C/-22C. After a long stretch of gray winter colors and clouds, I could not resist. I put on snowshoes since my ski boots were being used by one of the kids […]

Laatikko or Casserole

Epiphany has traditionally been a time to eat a second Christmas dinner. Sometimes it may be a bit of a varied version but it is a good time to pull out things in the freezer that did not get eaten the first time around. Last Sunday we had asked some friends to come over for […]

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2013! A new year is always exciting, full of the unknown, new opportunities and new adventures. Between Christmas and New Year’s we were lucky to get a beautiful day. The three older girls tried downhill skiing for the first time. I was impressed with how quickly they learned. The little ones focused […]

Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese is such a classic. I could almost bet on it that nearly every child in America has had macaroni and cheese for supper at some time. Most have probably had the Kraft box version. Since there are no box versions available here, I got a little excited when I stumbled upon this […]

First Snow and Crock Pot Lamb

The forecast called for snow and I did have a few doubts that we might actually see a few flakes in the morning. The sun was shining and everything looked like it was sugar-crusted. My Godchild however, was very sure that it would snow. I told the kids that a forecast is a prediction and […]
