Mini Pumpkin Pies: A Nordic Twist on a Halloween Treat
As the Halloween spirit engulfs our Nordic home, we find ourselves eagerly embracing the festive season with a batch of delightful mini pumpkin pies, baked to perfection in a muffin tin and topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Harnessing the flavors of local pumpkins that thrive in our Nordic climate, we opt for either the sweet Hokkaido or the versatile butternut squash, creating a rich and flavorful pumpkin puree from scratch.
Wild Blueberry Muffins
In our homestead, baking blueberry muffins is more of a joyful dance in the kitchen than following a strict recipe. Inspired by a surprise visit from some French travellers, we're sharing our recipe with you. The freshly picked blueberries, a handful of nuts, perhaps a dash of caramel - all are added until the mix just feels right. The end result? Delicious, warm muffins that are a bit of a delightful mess to extract from the pan. Each one is a unique, flavorful joy just waiting to be savored.
