Recipe for DarkPassionTia;=)
I got a request if I could post a recipe for Swedish traditional Semlor by DarkPassionTia and I found a great one from a great baker - Leila Lindholm.
Recipe freely translated by me and original recipe is found here: http://www.leila.se/leilas-semlor/recept/bakverk/index1,23.htm?id=2853

25 years ago;=)
This photo is taken 25 years ago!! oh My God, we are SO young and innocent, both me and Nicklas. Alyson avenue started a LONG time ago and it´s just amazing that me and Nicklas still are the best of friends, making music together. Not Alyson avenue at the moment, but my solo where he has helped me records vocals for both demos and also backing vocals and some lead vocals for my album SHINE;=)
We might look a bit older but we are still the same friends and in love with music coming from the heart. Business is not important to the two of us and that´s how I love to do music;=)
Sugarfree mocca cake;=)
I made a sugarfree mocca cake using an original recipe from bakasockerfritt.se that I had to modify slightly since I didn't have as much almond flour as in the recipe so I took more of the hazelnut flour and it worked really well too;=)
I loved this cake and the whipped cream on top that is flavored with coffee is just yummie for a coffee lover like me!

INSTAGRAM moments
Hi all,
here´s my latest photos from my INSTAGRAM where I post more often than in here if you want to see more of my life and interact easier with me than in here;=)
And when I thought I would die...
…I felt alive;=)
Well, maybe not as bad as this but yesterdays cross fit session at FNF was just sooo hard;=) Mainly since I haven´t done burpees and so on for 1,5 year and well, I could feel it! The instructor was a lady this time and she was tough! Almost like my dear Lise;=)
Even if I felt like dying at the time I felt GREAT coming home afterwards and today I just sent up Johan to try a cross fit session so let´s see how he feel afterwards;=)
And hey - we have SNOW here now! After the horrible storm Sven snow came and even if it´s gonna go away again it kinda feel like winter now.
ENJOY this day and lots of love!
My new exercising pants in leopard are from Gina Tricot and I love them…mjauu…;=)
