Green drink and nuts for lunch today

Idag ville jag prova en ny drink till lunch. Jag laste tva recept dar den ena hade coconut milk och den andra hade coconut water. Eftersom jag hade coconut milk hemma valde jag att gora den. Men jag laste bada samtidigt och rakade visst blanda ihop det lite, hahah. Men det funkade och det blev ok. Lite tjock och valdigt maffig sa jag orkade inte hela. Jag far helt enkelt prova att gora en ny nagon annan gang. Men jag tankte att jag skulle dela den har med er iaf. Om ni provar den och kanske gor nagra forandringar, snalla dela med er till mig.

Today I wanted to try a new drink for lunch. I read two recipes where one had coconut milk and the other one had coconut water. Since I had coconut milk at home I chose to do that one. But I read both at the same time and accidentally mix them up a little, hahah. But it worked and it was ok. A little thick and very heavy so I couldn’t finish it all. I just simply have to make a new one some other time. But I thought I would share it with you guys here anyway. If you try it and maybe makes some changes to it, please share it with me.

What I ended up putting in my drink:
1 cup coconut milk, 1 handful baby spinach, 1 avocado, little bit of honey and water

Picture of us in the dog park in October

Snon ar borta och varen ar pavag, sa nu kommer alla ut igen och dog park ar perfekt for hundar att socialize. Vi gick till dog park for sma hundar i sondags och det var fullt med sma sota vovvisar, manga yngre an Thor vilket aldrig hander (T ar 11 manader imorgon). Under eftermiddagen igar tog jag med Thor pa promenad och jag sag att den stora parken var full med hundar, sa sjalvklart tog jag med mig lillen dit. Jag orkar inte alltid vara social med andra agare, men det ar viktigt att Thor far vara med andra hundar och det ar sa roligt att se hur han forsoker fa uppmarksamhet fran de storre hundarna och hur mycket han forsoker vara alpha over hundar i samma storlek. Han fick springa av sig och nar vi kom in igen somnade han nastan direkt.

The snow is gone and the spring is on its way, so now everybody is coming out again and the dog park is perfect for dogs to socialize. We went to the dog park for small dogs on Sunday and it was filled with small cute puppies, many younger than Thor which never happens (T is 11 months old tomorrow). In the afternoon yesterday I took Thor out for a walk and I saw that the big park was full of dogs, so of course I took the little one there. I don’t always feel like being social with other owners, but it’s important that Thor can be with other dogs and it is so fun to see how he is trying to get attention from the bigger dogs and how much he is trying to be the alpha over dogs in the same size. He got to run around and when we came back in again he fell asleep almost directly. 

Igar kopte jag lite spontant en yoga matta. Jag har faktiskt letat ett bra tag efter en yoga matta som inte har en massa text eller blommor och annat pa. En yoga matta ar inte ett konstverk man har pa vaggen, sa jag forstar inte riktigt varfor alla mattor ska ha en massa saker malade pa dem. Sen har jag aven haft svart for att valja vilken farg jag vill ha. Svart och brun kanns dystert, rosa, gul och ljusgron kanns for piffigt, morkbla och lila tar mig tillbaka till tiden pa DNA, sa igar nar vi var och shoppade sag jag en baby blue matta som kandes helt ratt for mig. Jag googlade faktiskt for ett tag sen vilken matta som rekommenderas och kom fram till att det ar nog verkligen upp till var och en. Hittade bl.a den HAR sidan. 
Vi har mattor nere pa gymmet, men det ar skont att ha en har hemma ocksa. Tillsammans med block och filt kan jag nu fa en riktigt harlig yoga stund hemma.
Har ni en yoga matta hemma? Vilken farg ar den da? Beratta, jag ar nyfiken! 

Yesterday I spontaneously bought a yoga mat. I have actually been looking for a yoga mat for a while, one that doesn’t have a lot of writing or flowers or stuff on it. A yoga mat is not a piece of art that you put on the wall, so I don’t really understand why all the mats has things painted on them. I have also had a hard time to decide what color I want. Black and brown seems sad, pink, yellow and bright green seems too lively, dark blue and purple takes me back to my time at DNA, so yesterday when we were shopping I saw a baby blue mat that felt totally right for me. I actually googled a while ago what color of mat that is recommended and came up with that it probably is up to each person. Found among other sites THIS page.
We have mats down at the gym, but it’s nice to have one here at home too. Together with blocks and blanket I can now have a nice yoga time at home.
Do you have a yoga mat at home? What color is it then? Tell me, I’m curious! 

Goat cheese and olives stuffed with garlic is two of my favorites! 

Det kandes som att denna helg var jattelang vilket ar underbart. Vanligtvis gar dagarna sa fort att man inte hinner med eller minns vad man har gjort. 
I lordags akte vi till Brooklyn for att fixa skattepapper. Jag ville folja med for att se hur det fungerar har. Kvinnan kom tva timmar for sent (inte ok!) sa vi gick och at brunch medan vi vantade. Pancakes och mimosa, yum! Sen tog det enormt lang tid for henne att fixa allt och i slutandan hade hon gjort en massa fel vilket suger. Aja, det loser sig, det blir bara lite extra jobb for Jim. Under sondagen blev det lite nodvandig shopping, stadning, omelette brunch, basket (March Madness), workout och massor av bus med Thor. Ingen speciell helg men vi fick iaf mycket tid tillsammans. 
I fredags kopte vi en massa gott som vi kunde njuta av tre kvallar i rad. Ost, brod, korv, sallad och fyllda oliver. Hittade aven den bra sorten av kakao (den forra tog slut for over ett ar sedan och den Tyska kakao som smakar bast finns inte att hitta overallt, jag har provat tre andra sorter och ingen ar bra) och var bara tvungen att gora chokladbollar som fika. Vara helger handlar mycket om mat. Vi gar garna ut och ater och testar garna nya stallen, men ibland har vi mat hemma. Att njuta av god mat och dryck ar trevligt att gora tillsammans. 

It felt like this weekend was really long which is wonderful. Normally the days goes by so fast that you can’t keep up or remember what you’ve done. 
On Saturday we went to Brooklyn to do taxes. I wanted to come with to see how it works here. The woman came two hours late (not ok!) so we went for brunch while we waited. Pancakes and mimosa, yum! Then it took really long time for her to fix everything and in the end she had made a lot of mistakes which sucks. Oh well, it will ok in the end, just a little more work for Jim. During the Sunday we went for necessary shopping, cleaning, omelette brunch, basketball (March Madness), workout and lots of fun with Thor. Not a special weekend but we got a lot of time together at least. 
On Friday we bought a lot of good stuff that we could enjoy three nights in a row. Cheese, bread, sausage, salad and stuffed olives. I also found the good kind of cocoa (I finished the last one over a year ago and the German cocoa that tastes the best they don’t have everywhere, I have tried three different kinds and none is good) and just had to make chocolate balls for fika. Our weekend is mostly about food. We gladly to go out to eat and we love to try new places, but sometimes we have food at home. To enjoy good food and drinks is nice to do together. 

I torsdags kom min man hem fran jobbet med en present till mig. Oh, jag har varldens basta make ♥
Jag har tittat pa en kimono pa Victoria’s Secret sedan jag flyttade hit och jag har namnt det nagra ganger genom aren. Han kom hem med en rosa pase till mig och gissa om jag blev glad (och chockad) nar jag sag vad som lag i.
Just nu sitter jag i min superskona kimono, dricker kaffe och laser bloggar medan min tva killar sover bredvid mig har i soffan. Lugn och skon lordagsmorgon innan Jim och jag ska ivag.

On Thursday, my hubby came home from work with a gift for me. Oh, I have the worlds best husband ♥
I have looked at a kimono at Victoria’s Secret since I moved here and I have mentioned it a few times throughout the years. He came home with a pink bag and guess if I got happy (and shocked) when I saw what was inside.
Right now I’m wearing my super soft kimono, drinking coffee and reading blogs while my two boys are sleeping here next to me on the couch. Relaxed and nice Saturday morning before Jim and I need to get going.
