Copenhagen is known to be one of the best foodie cities in the world, but it is also known to be one of the most expensive places to eat out. Lucky for me there's Copenhagen Dining Week. This is a week in February where many of the city's best restaurants offer a set 3 course … Continue reading Copenhagen Dining Week – Eating Out
Cooking for my Hosts: Round 2
My hosts had been gifted some shakers of different "classic american" spices from a past exchange student of theirs, but they had never made anything with the "fajita spice." My host mom admitted to being very curious about what to do with this particular set of spices so I found myself making fajitas for my … Continue reading Cooking for my Hosts: Round 2
Making Adjustments
Here in Denmark, I have a slightly different schedule than what I'm used to at home. Most days my classes go from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm. What this means is that I usually wake up, go to the gym or take a run, clean-up and eat breakfast and then start my commute in by … Continue reading Making Adjustments
Easy and Balanced Dinner
Part of the Danish culture is that everyone takes part in the family and household chores. Today marked my first night to make dinner for my host-family. It's traditional here for each child (once they're old enough) to make one meal a week - so Thursday's dinner is mine. Since I haven't cooked a … Continue reading Easy and Balanced Dinner
Fast and Easy Eggs
I was really missing my eggs, so asked my host mom if I could start making them for breakfast, she said yes of course but when I went to make them this morning everyone else had left for the day and I was struggling to use the Danish electric stove top. Luckily, I had this … Continue reading Fast and Easy Eggs

A different type of sandwich
As you've seen I like to have salads for lunch but sometimes you're in the mood for a sandwich or something warm. Today I was both. I'm not really a sandwich person because I don't eat a lot of bread. All breads are different but typically breads are low in essential nutrients, high in … Continue reading A different type of sandwich
Granola!
You know those foods that are labeled as healthy but really aren't? Well granola can be one of those. Some granolas are full of added sugars and oils... but luckily you can take back granola by making your own. I do this all the time, I used to have a recipe but honestly it's one … Continue reading Granola!
Holiday Balance
The Holiday season can be synonymous with binge eating and sugar overloads but it doesn't have to be. Cookies, chocolates and creams may taste really good but most of us can often forget how a holiday super binge can leave you feeling bloated, sluggish and/or sick. Different people have different methods for handling the holidays … Continue reading Holiday Balance
Breakfast
They say it's the most important meal of the day and personally it's one of my favorites. I always eat breakfast - its just a matter of when. By that I don't mean eating "breakfast" at noon - I mean eating before or after my workout depending on the morning. If I workout early (7 … Continue reading Breakfast
