I get so many of the same questions on Twitch so I thought I’d answer all of them in a post.

When is the due date?
April 2023

Do you know the gender?
Yes, we’re expecting a girl.

Was it planned?
Yes. Since a couple years back I have wanted to have kids. This summer it felt right to start trying since we just moved to a bigger place, the work situation is good, we’ve been together for a while and I’ll be 30 next year so I didn’t want to wait too long.

Who’s the father!?
His name is Elias. I met him in university and we’ve known each other since 2014 but reconnected on a romantic level in 2019. He’s a Machine Learning Operations Engineer (basically a programmer). He has no social media presence but if you watch my streams he’s showed up a couple of times. We have a home together and we’re going to be raising the child together. He’s really an amazing guy and I’m so happy that we’re on this journey together.

Are you married!?
No. Don't worry, it's not very uncommon to have children when you're not married in Sweden. My parents aren't married and many people never marry at all. I'd like to be married in the future.
‍
Are you going to stop streaming?
No. The plan is to continue streaming for as long as I can. When the baby is born I will take ~3 months off streaming. Then the plan is to stream half time and split the parental leave days with the father.

How do you feel?
Good! I felt ill with morning sickness (more like constant sickness) during the 7th-12th week. Then I was extremely tired for a couple weeks but now I feel pretty good and don’t have to nap during the day anymore.

Do you have any cravings?
No! Last week I started getting increased appetite though.

One more thing I’d like to say is that I do not intend to be a “mommy influencer”. I avoid talking about my personal life on stream. The baby will not be in my streams and I will not post any pictures of her. I try to not make a big deal out of it but since it is a pretty big deal I understand that people are curious. I also don’t want to bore my audience with a bunch of pregnancy talk so hopefully this blog post will answer most people’s questions.

Have a good night. <3

Today I'm going out on a boat ride, so I thought I would make a cold salad to bring for me and my friends! This is my mothers special recipe for a pasta salad!

‍

Salad:

7dl gnocchi shells

420g diced bacon

lettuce

cucumber

tomatoes

‍

Dressing:

5dl cream (I used light cream)

3 tbsp mayo

1 tsp mustard

salad seasoning (preferably italian)

salt

‍

Do this:

Cook the bacon however you like it. Let the grease run off on a paper and let the bacon cool. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Rinse in cold water after they are done. Let the water run off.

‍

Cut the salad, cucumber and tomatoes in pieces you prefer.

‍

Mix the dressing ingredients and season to taste.

‍

Make sure the ingredients cool and there as little water as possible left with the pasta and vegetables. Mix everything together in a big bowl. Done!

‍

I hope it will taste gooood. :D

I'm in the middle of a 1200km move. I'm currently still in my hometown but all my furniture and stuff has been shipped to south Sweden. Yesterday I called my mother and asked if I could borrow her pie forms because I wanted to make blueberry pie and taco pie. Turns out she had just arrived to the best blueberry place in our town to pick blueberries. So I joined her.

‍

Underneath is the recipe for my grandmothers special blueberry pie (translated) and also the recipe for my favorite taco pie (also translated to the best of my ability).

‍

Grandmothers blueberry cake

‍

225°C

‍

Crust:

100 g butter (room temperature)

3 tbsp. sugar

1 egg

2 tbsp. milk

3,5 dl flour

1,5 tsp. baking soda

‍

Filling:

3 dl blueberries (preferably fresh, frozen ones tend to get watery)

3 tbsp. butter (Grinded to small pieces and spread over the blueberries)

3 tbsp. sugar

‍

Do this:

Mix sugar and butter until it becomes smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix lightly. Wisk the egg and add it together with the milk. Mix (I use my hands) until you have a nice dough that you can easily work with your hands. Press it out to the pie form.

‍

Pour the blueberries on top of the crust. Spread sugar over the blueberries and place small pieces of butter over the entire mixture.

‍

Place in the lower part of the oven at 225°C. My grandmother didn't mention for how long, but keep it in the oven until the crust is golden brown like the picture below. Let it rest for ~1h before cutting it.

My favorite taco pie

This will be harder to explain because Swedish taco is one of a kind. I'll do my best.

‍

225°C

‍

Crust:

150 g butter (room temperature)

3 dl flour

1 tsp. salt or paprika powder (or both)

2 tbsp. water

‍

Filling:

~500 g minced ground beef

1 bag of taco seasoning (this is where it gets complicated, in Sweden we have an iconic taco mix from Santa Maria and I don't know how to mimic it, I would suggest just season the meat like you prefer)

1 dl water

2 dl spiced sour crème (crème fraiche, pepper and chili seasoned)

2 dl sour crème (crème fraiche, natural seasoned)

150g cherry tomatoes

1 dl green jalapeño or yellow chili (I use wayyyyyy less)

1,5 dl grated cheese

1 tsp. paprika powder

‍

To have with the pie:

Sour crème of your choice, nacho chips, vegetables of your choice.

‍

Mix butter, flour and salt/paprika powder to a grainy dough. (I use my hands). Add water until you have a nice dough that you can work with your hands. Press it out to the pie form. Put the crust in the fridge for ~30 minutes. Stab the entire crust with a fork before you pre-bake it in the oven at 225°C for 12 minutes.

‍

While the crust is baking, cook the meat in a pan with some butter or oil. Season it with the taco mix or whatever seasoning you prefer if you can't find taco mix (salt, pepper, paprika powder). Add the water and let it cook for 5 minutes.

‍

Mix the spiced sour crème, sour crème and jalapeño/yellow chili to a nice mix.

‍

Cut the tomatoes on half.

‍

Pour the finished meat on top of the pre-baked pie crust. Add an even layer of the sour crème mix on top of the meat. Cover it with the tomato halves. Sprinkle the graded cheese on top of the tomatoes. Sprinkle some paprika powder on top.

‍

Cook in the middle of the oven at 225°C for 25 minutes until the cheese has a nice color.

‍

Serve!
