Today's Video: Slow Living in Finland 🍂 Lake Walk, Hasselback Squash Lunch & Moist Apple Chocolate Cake

Hello, my dear friends! 💛
Slow living in Finland continues with a peaceful autumn day at home. I start the morning by packing our things and heading to the lake for a fresh and quiet walk with Hilma and my husband. The combination of the forest, the calm water, the soft light, and coffee time in the laavu sets a cozy tone for the day.

After returning home, I prepared a comforting lunch: Hasselback Butternut Squash with a creamy garlic yogurt dip, served alongside toast with homemade pesto and cheese, simple, warm, and perfect for chilly days.

In the afternoon, I did a little kitchen work and baked a Moist Apple Chocolate Cake. This seasonal treat fills the entire house with the delightful aroma of apples and cocoa, perfect for a quiet moment with coffee, and then our day gently comes to an end. 🧡🍂

Thank you so much for being here🌸💛
Sending a lot of hugs....💛
