Fresh from the grill 🍆✨

This grilled eggplant with mozzarella and basil is one of those simple dishes we end up making again during grilling season. Soft eggplant, sweet onions, garlic, olive oil, and a good handful of fresh basil make such a lovely combination, especially when finished with creamy mozzarella.

We had it with grilled chicken and a simple mixed lettuce salad with olive oil and lemon juice, fresh and perfect for a warm day.

Usually it’s Cooking with Ella… but today it was gardening with Ella 🍅🌿

While I was working with the tomato plants in the greenhouse, Ella decided it was the perfect place for a nap. This photo was taken right after she woke up, still looking a little sleepy and very cozy in the warm greenhouse.

The tomato plants are growing well already, and apparently the greenhouse makes a pretty good napping spot too 💛

Finnish egg butter (munavoi) is usually known as the classic topping for Karelian pies, but I’ve recently started enjoying it in a few new ways as well 🥚✨

It’s absolutely delicious spooned over warm new potatoes with fresh dill, and it also works surprisingly well with white asparagus for a simple Nordic-style side dish.

Of course, the traditional way still remains a favourite, especially on warm Karelian pies, but it’s fun to see how versatile this simple egg and butter spread can be.

A slice of traditional Finnish cabbage pie served with fresh salad 💛

This buttery cabbage pie, or Kaalipiirakka, is one of those recipes I remember from childhood family gatherings and summer cottage days. The flaky crust and soft cabbage filling make it perfect served slightly warm with a fresh salad on the side.

Ella may have been stung by a wasp on her paw, so we’ve been taking it a little easier today. Medicine applied and a little boot on the paw. Instead of wild ball games, we’ve been playing gentle sniffing games in the grass, which Ella seemed to enjoy very much. 🐾
