Here are pictures from our trip in Koh Lipe, my favorite Island so far. We enjoyed a whole week here, so beautiful, such a paradise!
We stayed at Mali Resort at Sunrise beach. They have two resorts, one at Pattaya beach which is the main beach in Lipe and one on Sunrise beach which is the most beautiful and peaceful one. Everything was so great and the bungalow we stayed in was just next to the beach and it was perfect and so cosy! Could have stayed there for ever.
Everything was walking distans as it’s such a small Island. We actually went to another Island just to explore a bit and it was just next to Koh Lipe, it’s called Ko Adang, we took a kayak and we thought it wasn’t that far but half way there we really felt it in our arms haha. But so much fun. No one was there, a whole beach by yourself, so peaceful.
We also went on a snorkling tour with a private boat and we could just decide when and where we wanted to go and that was so much better then going in a group. As then you would have people around you all the time.
We had a perfect trip here, will definitely come back again and also to visit our new friends we made at Mali Resort. <3

These sugar cookies with nutella stuffing is just so delicious! And it’s hard to only eat one. Perfect to bake and then store in the freezer. And you can also microwave them a little before serving to get the filling even more creamier. So good.
YOU NEED
around 30 cookies.
6 1/2 dl flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
220 g butter, softened
4 1/2 dl granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
about 2 dl Nutella
DO THIS
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set bowl aside.
- In another bowl add in butter and 3 1/2 dl of the sugar. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer and beat on medium speed until fluffy.
- Add vanilla and egg to bowl, mixing for another 1-2 minutes.
- Using a spatula or a large spoon, slowly add the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients. If needed, kneed the dough with your hands to make sure all the dry ingredients are absorbed.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough for 1 hour in the fridge.
- While dough chills, line a large baking sheet (that can fit in your freezer) with parchment paper. Spoon out 1-2 tsp of Nutella and place it on the parchment paper. If possible, try to keep Nutella in ball or oval shapes.
- Place tray of Nutella in the freezer while dough chills.
- When dough is set, preheat oven to 170 degrees. To prep for cookies: Line another 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper, fill a small bowl with 1 dl sugar, bring sugar cookie dough and Nutella over to your workspace, and have a few wet and dry paper towels handy.
- Scoop 2 tsp of sugar cookie dough into your hand and roll to a ball and flatten it to a small pancake. Place a ball of frozen Nutella on the top. Gently pinch the dough together and loosely roll the cookie between the palm your hands, forming a ball, then roll cookie in sugar.
- Place finished cookie on the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 5 cm apart. Repeat these steps with the rest of the dough and Nutella. Use the wet and dry paper towels to remove excess Nutella from your hands.
- If you need to bake the cookies in batches, place the unused dough and Nutella back in the refrigerator/freezer until ready for next batch.
- Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the very edges and bottoms of the sugar cookies begin to turn golden brown. Cookies may be puffy – this is okay, they will deflate as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or you can store them longer in the freezer.

Eclair is a French pastry of petits choux dough filled with cream. Can be either chocolate cream, vanilla cream or whatever you like. The eclairs can then be covered with a delicious glaze and also decorated with sprinkles or nuts.
Ingredients

2.5 dl water
2.5 dl flour
1 tsp salt
100 g butter
4 eggs, room temperature
For the custard:
5 dl milk 3%
0.5 dl cornstarch
0.5 dl granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla powder
1 pinch of salt
For the glaze:
150 g Chocolate
0.5 dl cream
Do this
- Start with the custard:
Add all the ingredients for the custard into a large saucepan with no heat. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Place over medium heat and cook, stir until the custard thickens. Strain the custard into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the foil touch the surface of the cream. Let rest in the fridge.
- The dough:
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.
Prepare two sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the water, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the flour all at once and stir well with a wooden spoon until it forms a paste.
- Replace the pan on medium-low heat andstirring constantly for 2 minutes. Scrape the dough into a large bowl.
- Stir the eggs into the batter, one at a time until it is well mixed.
Pipe the dough on a baking sheet, about 10 cm long sausages. Make sure to leave some space between.
- Bake for 10 minutes first, then lower the heat to 170 degrees and bake for about 20-25 minutes, depending on the oven. They must be baked completely otherwise they will sink. Let cool completely before filling them with the vanilla cream.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.
Chop the chocolate and place in a bowl.
Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it almost comes to a boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for a minute. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Let cool.
- When ready to assemble: Using a piping bag fill each shell. Make a small hole on both sides and press in the cream from both sides. Dip the upper side of the pastries in the melted chocolate or spoon over the chocolate.Let the chocolate set slightly before serving.

Had a great time on New years eve! It was a very easy one, and that was nice. Had a wonderful dinner with S family and then went to friends and had some wine before heading back home.
At the moment I’m packing and preparing for the Thailand trip, we are flying very early tomorrow morning, first to Stockholm then Bangkok and then to the north of Thailand, Chiang Mai. So 3 flights, it will be a long trip. I’m so excited. It’s gonna be so nice with vacation with my <3.
We are staying in Chiang Mai for 5 days and then heading to Krabi for 3 days, after that we’re going to a very small Island called Ko Lipe. And at the end we are staying in Bangkok for a few days. So we’re gonna be away for totally 3 weeks.
As I have a new camera I’m so excited to use it so hopefully you will see a lot of pictures from the trip.
