Right now, at this moment I’m dreaming about the rose truffles that we made with Suzanne Hall at The Chalkboard Mag for Superhälsa. We rolled some delicious raw chocolate truffles in these toppings… and then we eat em, or some at least. Incredible tasty. The recipe and story are now being edited. Yay, we are getting closer! So exciting. 🙂

When one is feeling a little bit stressed out or anxious, the scent of lavender can soothe and relax. Here is a soothing lavender smoothie from Hälsokick. It’s very refreshing with just a tiny hint of lavender.

Soothing lavender smoothie:

1 frozen banana

3 dl frozen blueberries // 1,2 cups frozen blueberries

1/2 tsp dried lavender

3 dl almond milk // 1,5 cups almond milk

Choice of flavors:

1 tsp lemon zest or

1 tsp raw local honey or

1 tsp vanilla extract

Add your choice of flavor and blend it all until really smooth and silky. Make sure it’s blended well so you don’t get the dried lavender stuck somewhere. Also, it;s smart to not overuse the lavender, we don’t want your smoothie to taste like soap. 🙂

This beautiful lavender feld belongs to Clairmont Farmes in Los Olivos – Santa Barbaras wine country. It’s gorgeous up there.

Helene is sharing Malibu stories and secrets and Martin Löf is photographing so beautifully.

It snowed on the pier today!

Salmon, Helenes signature fingerling potato, local cheeses and veggies… the Helene style!

The sunset this time a year is almost always like this… I swear!

The team: The master chef Helene Henderson and the “almost a local now” photographer and publisher Martin Löf. Way to go guys!

Nice closeups on scrumptious and colorful food.

These pictures makes you wanna jump right in and grab the fork and start stuffing your face.

Helene is all about organic and local, thats what makes Malibu Farm Cafe one of the better eateries in town and that she keeps things simple. Martin Löf is being real, that’s what makes him one of the best photographers.

I think I had these brussels once at a farm dinner. And it’s just a wonderful as it looks. I’m gonna put this on my plate for christmas.

Congrats and good luck guys!!
