I made fish soufflé tonight. A perfect dinner for leftover fish or you can even buy fresh fish and boil it before use. The preparation is not long and when you have it in the oven you are done in the kitchen.

I usually serve it with steamed vegetables like peas, broccoli and cauliflower.


Ingredients


3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp salt
Pepper (to taste)
1 cup+ steamed fish (I usually use white fish but you can use salmon too)
3 eggs, separated

Methods
  • Melt butter in a small sauce pan.
  • Add flour, milk, salt and pepper.
  • Boil until thick and the remove from heat, and add the egg yolks one at the time.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff and mix carefully with butter mixture and the fish.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased and breadcrumbs covered deep baking dish.
  • Bake at 200 for about 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy a beautiful healthy and nice dinner!

Life is not always easy.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if life could always be “a dance on the roses ” (Swedish saying), but it isn’t.  We get tired, frustrated at work, fight with our partners, get angry with the kids, feeling that our families are overwhelming and sometimes you act in a way that you wish you hadn’t but at all these moments life was just too much.

You know this is life, and we have to make the best of it! We try our hardest most of the time to make our life just the way we dream of it to be.

So what can we do when we feel like throwing in the towel and crawl into bed and pull the cover right up over our heads.

You have a choice. Happiness is nothing you can buy in the store, you need to feel it and want it. So are you ready to look at those moments when everything seems too much, and learn from them to make the best of the situation?

I have those moments when everything seems too much and there is no way I can look at life and enjoy it. That’s when I dig into my “happy toolbox” and use tool by tool to fix the problem.

Find something positive about the situation
You want to be happy
You are worth being happy
You are strong enough
You decide over your happiness
Don’t try to change everyone else, but make sure to let them know that you want them in your life
Shake it off and do something that makes you happy
Write down goals and things you want in your life

I have given you a few of my tools from my toolbox, and I hope some of them or maybe all of them can be of help to you when you want to change a ordinary day into a fantastic day you can remember for a long time.
