Last weekend we drove back to Ålesund from Oslo. This photo is taken just before coming down to Gerianger. Always love this part of the drive! Not the 8 to 9 hours part!

Plums are here and for those who are as lucky as us who got an uncle with a plum tree or even better one for yourself you can try this quick and “healthy” Crumble. I’m probably known now for leaving sugar out of recipes if I can, and adding honey and cinnamon to most tings instead. This recipe is a typical dessert for me. I made it for a monday night, so not a single spill or sugar in this one, but feel free to add some.

• one handfull of muesli
• 2 tbs butter
• 1 tsp honey

Use your hands and work butter, oats and muesli together. Layer crumble over the plums and drizzle honey and cinnamon over at the end. Bake on 180 degrees for 30 min. Serve with greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream, drizzled with honey and cinnamon.

Beets are colourful and fun to use! Just be careful with your clothes and white kitchen walls! I seem to always end up with red spots everywhere after making something with beetroot. Still it doesn’t make me stop using them.
