What to Eat in France

The last couple of days, I've spend in Toulouse, France. It's the fourth biggest city in France, and it's been some great days. While we visited we had to try the classic french crepes with nutella, which you can buy on every street corner, and also the refreshing sorbets, my favorites!

One of the other things we tried was the french macaroons. SOOOO good! You'll have to try them if you ever go to France, cause you gotta have them while in France, right? Even though they've become popular all over the world, and you can buy them at a lot of places. Here is My own recipe

One of the things the French do every day is go to the nearest bakery and buy a baguette. It's these long bread sticks which you see, and they always make a sandwich for lunch with the classic Jambon(ham) and cheese. It's really good.

A nice refreshment, the French version of a slurpee, Granita.

We also visited a really old castle (nights of the temple order) and they had tons of tourist stuff etc., but one of the things I enjoyed the most was their candy shops filled with millions of kinds of dried fruit and chocolate and french nougat and a lot of other yummy stuff.

Mini Burgers and Fries

Sorry for not blogging in forever, but I've been gone on vacation the last week and just been crazy busy, but I promise I'll make it up a bit. This next week I'm going to Spain and Portugal for three weeks though, so I might not be blogging that much meanwhile, but I promise there'll be a lot about delicious Spanish food etc.

This other evening my sister had a couple of girl friends over for a little girl party, so I offered to make these really cute mini burgers for them, and they turned out super delicious! I made my own healthier burger buns. I don't really have a recipe, so you'll have to either just buy them or find your own recipe... 

Her den anden aften havde min søster et par veninder ovre, så jeg var så sød at tilbyde at lave mad til dem i form af mini burgere og pom fritter. Jeg brugte den her opskrift på burgerbollerne og formede dem bare en del mindre. 

Ingredients:

Thausand island dressing

ketchup

Tomatoes (tomater)

Cucumber (agurk)

Lettuce (salat)

Beef burger patties (bøffer) - made as small meatballs

Fried Rice with Chicken and Shrimp

Stegte ris er en ting, som man får ofte i USA og som originalt vel er en kinesisk ret, men jeg synes faktisk det er så lækkert, at det virkelig burde blive mere populært i Danmark også. Det er som egentlig meget simpelt at lave. Man skal bare bruge nogle kogte ris, æg og så ellers hvad man lige har og roder i køleskabet og fryseren af forskellige slags kød og grøntsager. Her er en version med kylling, ærter og majs og rejer. 

Fried rice is so simple to make and super delicious. It's also one of those things where you can kinda clean up the fridge and freezer. All you need is some cooked rice, eggs, and whatever kinds of meet and vegetables you have. Here in this version I used chicken, peas and corn kernels and shrimp. 

Top with mango chutney and soy sauce.
