Hygge is when we are together...

 

29 Oct 2026 (C10Y5M13D): Hygge is when we are together... just spending time with each other without the phone 💗💗

小女儿好开心我们俩手牵着手一起去逛街

还有多少日子她还愿意牵着我的手呢？

天父上帝啊，感谢祢给我们这简单美好的一刻。

她说：“妈妈，这果汁（图四）又便宜又好喝，可以买给我吗？”

我说：“小女儿让我们一起来读里面含有些什么材料吧，看看里面加了些什么？”

读了之后发现这并不是什么果汁，而是慢性毒药[撇嘴] 八种不一样的E 数字啊。喝进去就像喝毒药一样，甜在嘴里，苦在肚里。再便宜，我们也不能买。

我们买那个果汁吧（图五和六）。那才是真的果汁。

感觉今天她有听进去，学习了，长知识了。

How to Enhance Breaded Pan-Fried Chicken Breast?

Instead of using plain flour or cornstarch, use a mixture of white wholewheat flour and nutritional yeast to coat the chicken. In this way, this is much better :-)

Ingredients:

1. 1 part TBS nutritional yeast

2. 2 parts white wholewheat flour

3. Salt & pepper to season

Instructions:

1. Mix 2 parts white wholewheat flour and 1 part nutritional yeast - The Perfect Breading Blend Ratio.

2. Use the flour mixture to coat chicken filet, fish fillet or pork for pan-frying like the pictures below.

3. Then coat them with egg wash.

4. Then coat them with bread crumbs and they are ready to be pan-fried under medium heat until golden (no. 5 on my stove of 9) :-)

5. Flip the chicken breasts over and fry until golden.

6. Place on kitchen towel to soak up excess oil.

Additional Information:

Because nutritional yeast can burn more easily than standard breadcrumbs, blending it yields the best results.

Tip: You can add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of paprika to the mix to enhance the seasoning or keeping it simple for the original taste. We do a mixture and rotate :-)

Nutritional yeast available from Urtehuset or any health store.

Mix a bit of white wholewheat flour with 4 tablespoon of nutritional yeast.

Coat the chicken breast one piece at a time with the flour mixture.

Done :-) Then coat them with egg wash and bread crumbs and they are ready to be pan-fried under medium heat (no. 5 on my stove of 9)

Pan-fried chicken served :-)

Easy Homemade Tomato Soup

First published on: 28 Dec 2014. 

Updated on: 24 Oct 2026

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1. 400g (I like to use two packs of the Miss Perfect tomatoes 25 DKK per pack of 200g from Netto)
2. 1 large carrot chopped coarse

3. 1 large onion quartered

4. 2 cloves garlic peeled
5. 1 thumb size slice of ginger minced with skin on
6. 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
7. 1 TBS buckwheat or lentils (optional, but it gives the soup the delicious umami taste. However, not more than this, as it will make the soup too thick)
8. 2 tsp salt

9. Approx. 500 ml water or up to the maximum mark of the Philips Soupmaker

Toppings:

10. A few basil leaves for garnish (optional)
11. Serve with a dash of Greek yogurt, creme fraiche or cream (optional)

Directions:

1. Add all the ingredients into the Philips soupmaker.

2. Fill water up to the maximum mark.
3. Close the lid, choose the cream soup setting and press start.
4. The soupmaker will beep in 15 minutes and the soup would be done :-)

5. Serve in a bowl and garnish with basil leaves, enjoy :-)

Tips:

1. Besides basil leaves, you can add a dash of olive oil and roasted onions or pumpkin seeds as garnish.

Additional Information:

I have to say, this is a magic cooker. It is truly amazing. I love soup and Daddy FECS gave this Philips Viva Collection Soup maker to me for Christmas and I love it.

After a week of feasting at Christmas, we have been making soup everyday. It is amazing how tasty the soup turned out, considering how simple and basic the recipe is, and healthy too. There is no meat, no oil, just the vegetables, salt and pepper. I was a little skeptical initially, but decided to follow the recipe. And I was sold at the turn out. Even our Little FECS loves the soup, and Daddy FECS too. We did not even add the garnishes and I did not even cook the soup with chicken stock. I reduced the sugar from the original 1 TBS to 1/2 TBS. If your tomatoes are super sweet during summer time, you can even skip the sugar all together. The taste and sweetness is purely from the vegetables. I have tried many of the other recipes - sweet corn, broccoli, carrot and chicken soup, and they all taste equally good.

The secret I think, as I study the recipe, lies in the proportion of vegetables and water - all the recipe is the same - 1 part vegetable and 1 part water.

It makes approx. 1.2 litre of soup, enough to serve 4. Initially I thought it seems a little on the small side, but I was wrong. It was enough for all of us.

And the best thing is, it is a tasty and effortless way for us to squeeze in all the vegetables and its vitamins into our diet. Our Little FECS does not like tomatoes at all. But he finished all his bowl of tomato soup and asked for more :-)

You can also use this tomato soup as a base for other dishes such as braised beef.

The most tasty and perfect tomato soup is made with Miss Perfect tomatoes, available from Netto or Føtex supermarket.

This tomato soup is estimated to cost 55 DKK per pot. Each pot can serve 6 bowls. Each bowl costs 9 DKK. But mommy’s time and labor isn’t free. Mommy’s min. labor cost of buying groceries, preparing the ingredients and cleaning up cost 100 DKK per hour. Adding this min. labor cost, the whole pot will cost 155 DKK. Each bowl will cost 26 DKK.

Mommy’s opportunity cost of being a full time mom instead of staying in the corporate world is at least 300 DKK per hour. Off-setting this opportunity cost, this pot of tomato soup will cost 355 DKK. Each bowl will cost 59 DKK. It will be better for them to go to a restaurant than hiring my labor.

Please allow me to write a memory with J in Chinese for myself:

妈妈的西红柿汤是良药

23 Oct 2026:

如果大儿子自己做的话，一碗11克郎。

如果请妈妈做的话，一碗71克郎

大儿子，你要学习自己做啊。生命何等短暂，不管寿命多长，总有一天妈妈不会在你们的身边。用口讲他们没耐心听😅 圣灵给了我一个好主意，叫我把要教孩子们做的西红柿汤食谱写下来，在这里也顺便把这食谱分享给大家🤗❤️

要吃神造的食物，不要吃人造的食物❤️❤️

大儿子这几天熬夜考试后生病了，这就是平时不努力，临时抱佛脚的代价[撇嘴] 但他不承认[捂脸]我还是住嘴吧

他要求妈妈做的西红柿汤，让他能快快好起来，和朋友出去玩。高中的生活我说我去超市买你最喜欢的西红柿汤给你。

他说不要，要喝妈妈煮的西红柿汤才会好起来。他说上次就是喝了妈妈煮的西红柿汤好起来的。他这次生病也让我看到了他是明白要吃神造的食物，不要吃人造的食物，才会病好的。这个我想灌输给孩子们的道理，上帝昨晚让我知道他听懂了 原来如此，在大儿子的眼里，我的西红柿汤是良药

这两周他在考试，我也更忙了 忙着为他做补身补脑的饭，让他能够好好地去考试。大儿子在考试中，感觉我也在考试中。好像当妈妈的都是一辈子在为孩子而忙的。我把我的一生送给这个家，象耶稣钉死在十字架一样。但我不如耶稣，我是为自己的家人献上生命钉死十字架，而耶稣是为陌生人献上生命钉死十字架。

何等的爱，主耶稣为我的罪而死，我永远都没法还清
