Italian Chicken Alfredo


This is like a 20-minute recipe, perfect for anyone who really does not feel like cocking an entire thing but still serving that little extra.

You start by cutting your chicken fillet or chicken breasts into small pieces. If cut them really thin they will cook faster and more evenly. Season the chicken with freshly ground salt and pepper. Use a large skillet or frying pan, add some butter and garlic and fry you chicken until they are golden brown and cooked through. You don't want any pink chicken.
Start boiling the pasta, al dente. You all know what that is, don't you?

Lower the heat to medium and add some more butter, pour some cream, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Now it's time for a handful of chopped parsley and the cheese, oh the cheese! I went a bit crazy on the cheese but it was so worth it, I am guessing that parmesan is one of my weaknesses. Add some of the pasta water into the sauce, then drain the pasta and mix it together with the sauce. You are done!

We had some extra cheese on the side and some sausages just for that little extra something good. It was a perfect meal. To be honest, I did not try this when we have been traveling in Italy, but now that I have tried it in my own kitchen, I would love to try out the real thing!
Have you ever been to Italy and had a Chicken Alfredo?

How to make the most of the autumn


I am well aware that the autumn has kicked in, it's November, I know... But I just can't shake the feeling that the summer should have been a bit longer, at least a few more months. Don't you agree?

So walking around in nature, really? Well, I am trying my best to enjoy what's left of the autumn before all the colors are gone, and the world turns into a brownish-grey for about six months. Depressing though right, but that's why you have to make the most of the days when the sun is shining, before the nights get longer and the days get colder. So it's about taking hold of the days, and maybe bringing some of natures good indoors as decoration, to be able to enjoy the most of it.

So here are my tips of how to really enjoy the autumn, instead of just letting it go by:
- Force yourself to spend some time outdoors, when the sun is shining.
- Bring some of nature indoors for decoration.
- Use that cozy knitted sweater you've been longing for all summer.

What do you do to make sure you are enjoying this season? Are you enjoying the season? Really?

4 tips for great cocktails in Visby


If you haven't been to the medieval city of Visby, on the island of Gotland in Sweden, you should really start planning that trip. The city has so much to offer and today I thought I would share some of my favorite places for drinks and cocktails, hope you enjoy the read!

Värdshuset Lindgårdens Ginbar


It's a restaurant and a hotel, with a gin bar... could it be any better? And it's not like you have a few Gin and Tonics to choose from, they hand you a five pages long menu with more different kinds of cocktails, all made with Gin. I've said it once, but I'll say it again... can it be any better?

Restaurang Rosengården


Of all the times I have been to Visby, I have never been inside this bar. And now that I have, I can't for the life of me figure out how I've missed it. It's located right by the big open square in the city center, right by the big ruin as you see in the background of the images. It's a perfect place for a bit of a historical feeling.


Black Sheep Arms


My all-time favorite place. The upper floor has a British pub feeling going on with the interior design, super cozy and warm. In the lower parts, there's a bit of a dungeon feeling to it, medieval if you like. And then there's the green and luscious backyard, perfect for a warm summer day. They use to have our favorite cider on tap, but they didn't this time, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they'll bring it back.

Bageriet Mat & Bar


How can you not stay and have a drink when the view is absolutely amazing? But to be fair, the view is not the only reason why you should stop here, the drinks are nothing short of amazing. They have the classical cocktails, but with a twist of something special like a dewberrymojito or maybe an elderberrycaipirinha.
