Rhubarb Jam...so good with lots of stuff

Rhubarb Jam

I love rhubarb jam, I use it on waffles, on yoghurt, on toast and wherever I can because it is very, very good for you.

Often filled with whipped cream and jam and served as "Cream Pancakes" in Icelan

Pancakes

Traditionally in Iceland, whenever there is a birthday party, a funeral, a graduation or any other social gathering, Icelandic women (and nowadays men as well) make pancakes and they make a lot as usually there is a huge stack which vanishes at lightning speed.

Tropical sunshine in a bowl

Mango and Coconut Ice Cream

This ice cream is a bit of tropical sunshine in a bowl. It doesn't contain any white sugar (only agave nectar) and is lactose (dairy) free, egg free and nut free.

Very Icelandic and often made out of leftover porridge and fresh blueberries in

Blueberry Patties

Every mum and granny (and some dads and granddads) know how to make patties made out of leftover porridge or rice pudding. They are called "lummur" in Icelandic.

Lovely little mini pies which are packed with protein, vitamins and healthy fats

Mini Fruit Pies with Carob and Cashew Frosting

I love bananas and cashews mixed together, it is such a creamy blend and I often use it as a frosting for cakes as well as in smoothies and ice creams.

Baked fruits are lovely as they become even sweeter

A Selection of Baked Fruits with Ice Cream

I quite like warm, ripe fruits. I first had this dessert after dinner one time at my brother's place. Smári, my youngest brother is a very good cook and so is his wife Anna Stína.

A simple yet wonderful dessert

Grilled Mango

Mangoes are a quite amazing fruit. They contain phenols, which is a phenolic compound that has powerful antioxidant and anticancer abilities.

A lovely cheap treat which is a favourite with children and adults alike

Frozen Bananas with a Chocolate Dip

Bananas are an excellent fruit and even come in their own packaging!

My favourite power bars

Flap Jack (Power Bar)

I love home made muesli bars (flap jacks) as much as I detest the junk you can find in some stores. Often this junk is labelled ("energy bars", "power bars" or something equally wrong).

Sunshine in a glass. This dessert is also lovely as a breakfast treat

Strawberry Jam and Soy Dessert

I can't make up my mind as to whether this is a breakfast treat or a dessert. Sometimes I definitely want to make this in the morning but other times I really crave this after dinner.
