Mother's Day & Tallinn

Happy Mother's Day to every mother out there. We just finished eating our mother's day breakfast and now me and my mom are about to go to Pilates. Ever since I can remember, my sister and I have made our mom breakfast in bed on mother's day. Sure, the breakfast was a little more simple when we were kids but the tradition has stuck. This year was no exception (unfortunately Jen's in LA so she couldn't participate) and my little brother and I got up early and made her breakfast.

Fruit salad, chocolate-covered strawberries, avocado cheese omelette and a sandwich with mozzarella, tomato and basil.

Yeeah..let's jut say this mango cheesecake tasted much better than it looked..

Last friday me and my friend Minttu decided to go to Estonia for a day cruise since I got these free tickets from my parents. The only day possible was this friday so after we got done with our night shift at 6am we headed to Helsinki and got on a boat. Needless to say we were super tired and had planned to get a few hours of sleep on the way there, but I guess I had forgotten about the drunken karaoke singing on Finnish cruises so it was pretty much imposible to nap. After drinking coffee and eating fro-yo we got some much needed energy and the day just flew by.

We went shopping in Rottermann, Viru center and Rocca-al-Mare.

Minttu & I went to eat at this restaurant in Rocca-al-Mare. The goat cheese salad I ate was super good.

On our way back from Estonia. Words can't explain how tired we were at this point but we still had a great time in Tallinn.

This is what I bought:

I've been looking for a perfect white V-neck for the longest time and I was so glad when I found this for 4€.

I love this floral skirt from Zara.

Waiting for Summer

I've had such a hectic schedule lately, so I haven't been on the computer that much... A lot of new things have been happening and I'm really excited that it's gonna be summer vacation soon. Spring break was good and now finally about 7 more school weeks to go!

My family is coming to LA in the summer and this is where my sis, bro and I will be spending our days!

My dish of the week: Tilapia and broccoli w/ garlic and lemon...I don't know why but I eat so much of the same stuff... I love tuna, salmon and tilapia and I can eat the same dish for many days straight. Easy and quick to make.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes

Happy Eater, Hyvää Pääsiäistä, Glad Påsk! Spring is here, the sun is shining and life is good. A few days ago I met up with my friend Kirsikka in Helsinki and it was crazy to see how it's almost a different season there than it is here in Vantaa. There's absolutely no snow in the city while Vantaa is covered in it. We went to eat and get some shopping done. Here are some pictures:

My friend told me about this new little IKEA type shop in Kamppi they opened a while back. It was super cheap and sold a bunch of really random stuff from kitchen supplies to golf clubs.

I've passed this cafe called La Torrefazione tens of times and always thought it looked really cozy but I've never gone in. Luckily we did, because the place was really nice and the coffee was very good.

Since I woke up at 6am today (can't believe it myself) I had a lot of time on my hands and decided to make some Peanut butter cupcakes for Easter. I got the recipe from this awesome baking blog, called Kinuskikissa. They came out so delicious and I really recommend making a big badge for the holidays!

Peanut Butter Cupcakes (makes 12 big cupcakes) ( -225° -15 minutes)

150g milk chocolate
150g margarine
1½ dl sugar
2 eggs
3½ dl flour
2 tsp baking powder
2½ tbsp cocoa powder
1½ milk or cream
1½ salted peanuts

Frosting:

2½ dl whipped cream
1½ tbsp vanilla sugar
1½ dl peanut butter

On top:

Small chocolate eggs
grated chocolate

Beat the eggs and the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and continue to mix.

Grate the chocolate and set aside.

Combine the dry ingredients in a a seperate bowl. Alternate between mixing half of the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, then half of the milk and so on.

Add the nuts and the grated chocolate into the mix and stir. Put the batter into the cupcake pan and bake.

Let the muffins cool.

To make the frosting you'll need peanut butter, vanilla sugar and whipped cream.

Mix the whipped cream and the vanilla sugar until fluffy.

Add the peanut butter and continue beating.

Frost the cupcakes.

Use a peeling knife to carve chocolate curls out of the remaining chocolate. Decorate the cupcakes with chocolate eggs and the sprinkle with chocolate.
