Sweetpotato and chicken wrap



This recipe started out as an experiment, I'm just happy I shot the pictures so that I could post this right away. I wanted to make a wrap, but while I was making this I was thinking to myself that... naah this can't be a wrap because it's basically like a regular meal? But then I did some more thinking and thought that regular wraps that you buy off the store is like a sallad wrapped in a bread of some sort. Anyway, this is what you need: 

1 tortillia bread or any other bread you'll like
1 chicken breast
½ sweet potato
½ tomato
1 avocado
cucumber
orange paprika
lime juice
greek yoghurt
spring onions for garnish


Start by slicing everything into thin slices, season the chicken or marinate it if you want to, depending on what kind of flavour that you'll want. I decided to marinate mine for about 10 min with some soy, oil, hoisin sauce and some spices like black pepper and chili. When you've done that fry the chicken in some oil until it's done, mine took only a couple of minutes on medium/high heat. 

After that add some more oil to the pan, you don't have to clean it in-between since the spices of the chicken can give some seasoning to the potato as well. Add the potato to the oil and fry them on medium/high heat as well. If you cut the slices too thick you might have to blanch them for a minute or so before doing this, otherwise they won't be cooked through


After that just add everything onto your flat bread of choice and mash the avocado on top, add some yoghurt and and garnish with some spring onion. Enjoy a fresh really tasty and healthy wrap!

Creamy pasta with pesto


This was a request from a friend of mine! I posted a picture of this the other day and I decided why not, it's a really simple recipe! This is what you need: 

2-3 mushrooms, depending on size
2 tbsp crème fraiche
2 tbsp pesto
pasta for one
butter
pepper
thyme


Begin with putting some water in a pot on the stove for the pasta, and then boil it following the instructions on the packet. Slice the mushroom after your taste and then fry them in a pan with some butter on medium/high heat. 


When the pasta is done boiling, and drained of  water and the mushroom has been fried according to your taste add them into the pot with the pasta and along with the creme fraiche, pesto and spices.  


Stir it and heat on log heat and then serve! It's super simple and super tasty!

During my absence

I would like to start off with saying sorry for my absence. Before easter there was a lot to do in school an then during easter I was visiting my parents in an other town and wasn't responsible for the food we were eating. When I then returned home to my apartment I became ill.. However there is one thing that I have been enjoying a lot during these weeks off. and that is avocado on bread with different toppings!


These are some things you could use!

bread
avocado
tomato
egg
salt
lime juice


It's really simple you just boil the egg to your liking, slice some tomato and then mash the avocado. Put everything on a slice of bread and enjoy something really good!


During my leave I did this several times, and during easter when there was a lot of leftovers such as salmon and lamb and other good stuff I used those things as toppings. My favorite to have with the avocado is tomato since it complements the creamyness of the avocado. Except the examples below you can also add tuna, smoked salmon (instead of boiled). other types of yummy fish, shredded cooked chicken, ham or other kinds of meat. Different veggies are nice too, onion, shallots or other things alike!
