Cookalong with Frida and Ciana last Sunday night. They in Frisco, Dallas Texas, USA and me here in Sollentuna Sweden. We made a Vegetarian Nacho platter with Tofu, vegetables and Guacamole. It was amazing. We marinaded the Tofu and baked it in the oven. We made Nacho chips from Tortillas and fried in the airfryer. We chopped Bell pepper and some cabbage and Bok Choy and made Guacamole from Avacado. When the ingredients were prepared we assembled the platter, sprinkled with shredded cheese and put it in the oven for the cheese to melt. Such an easy and great meal.

Soy Glazed Cod fillets with Bok Choy
During busy days ”Under thirty minute meals” are great. And I have a lot of recipes and ideas for those. Here is my tip of the day. It is delicious and took just a few minutes to make (about 15 to be exact).
Olive Oil Cake
Since I started my new website Bj´s Live Kitchen I also started an Instagram account @bjslivekitchen. I enjoy following other instagram foodaccounts. So I love to just watch and get inspired. Last night I baked an Italien Olive Oil Cake from a recipe on the instagramaccount of historicalitalianfood, Karima Moyer-Nocchiof @historicalitalianfood I really love it! I never baked like this with olive oil before. And it was my first time to taste Olive Oil Cake. It was so easy to make and tastes so great! Check out the recipe!
Noodlesallad with Bok Choy and Pouched Eggs
A quick warm sallad on a busy day or night with simple but great ingredients.
Ghanaian Jollof Rice
The main ingredients of the dish are rice, tomatoes, and onions. The rest of the ingredients can vary greatly according to everyone’s taste. For example, vegetarians prefer to have the dish with mixed vegetables and without any meat products, while many other people prefer to have the dish with meat, chicken, turkey, or fish. For this recipe I have chosen to make it vegetarian with mixed vegetables and beans.
Ghanaian Fufu
Fufu is a staple food in Ghana. It is eaten with soup. You eat with your hands. Fufu can be made of different ingredients. In northern Ghana you make Fufu from yam´s roots. In southern Ghana you make it from cassava and plantain.
Churros
Churros are widely known as a Mexican or Spanish snack. However Churros are made in different ways around the world. It can be made as a dessert or snack and is very common to be bought as streetfood with chocolate sauce on top or to dip in. I have two recipes for Churros here. One with egg and butter and one without eggs and with oil. The dipping sauce is most often a chocolate sauce but could be something else as well. The easy way is to use Nutella. However I have the recipe of three different sauces here as well. It is just to go by your own preference really.
Swedish Baked Potatoes with Vegetarian Filling
Cookalong with Frida and Ciana last night. They in Frisco, Dallas Texas, USA and me here in Sollentuna Sweden. We made Baked Potatoes Swedish Style, However with vegetarian filling. Baked potatoes are really popular in Sweden. It is also a popular streetfood. The fillings can be many. Most traditionally it is made with creme fraiche or yoghurt a little mayonnaise, shrimps, onions or with ham instead of shrimps. However it could be with any ingredients you prefer. We made it with onions, mushrooms and bellpeppers this time. This dish is so tasty and comforting and really easy to make.
Salted Cod with Beetroot Risotto and Dill Sauce
The other night I made Cod in my airfryer and it became perfectly flaky. I had fresh Norwegian cod which I have bought from a Fish Van that actually goes to northern Norway and buys it from the boats and brings it fresh. It is so wonderful compared to what can be bought in the stores. It is now season for cod in the Norwegian Sea. To go with it I made Beetroot Risotto and a Yoghurt Sauce with dill and lemon zest.
I loved the taste and also the look of this dish, the beautiful white fish against the red just made me happy!
Swedish Semla
Semla is a Swedish wheatbun filled with a paste of almond or marzipanpaste and whipped cream. Swedish Semla is not like other buns. We only eat them in February. But why do we not eat these buns all year round? And why do we eat Semla at all? The Swedish people eat about six million ”Semlor” during this day Fat Tuesday.
