Norway Leftovers

So far, I've posted a lot on sightseeing in Norway and all the main attractions in Oslo. This last post on Norway is a compilation of all the little bits and pieces that fell through the cracks - exploring Norwegian lifestyle and culture, some favorite eats, celebrating birthday dinners with Madeleine's family, cooking and baking at home, going shopping, walking around town, and general shenanigans. 

Madeleine's mom catching some sun in their frontyard! She is super adorable.

The gorgeous house where I stayed!

 

Learned to make a quiche! Cooking dinners at home with Madeleine and chatting late into the night...

Madeleine's mom's kitchen...serious inspo and IKEA showroom status...so beautiful.

Celebrating Andreas's 5th birthday in the backyard with some (homegrown!) rhubarb & strawberry pie with whipped cream. Apparently, Norwegians never buy cakes or pies...it's always homemade for special events such as birthdays, family dinners, and other celebrations...so organic!

Shopping & dinner with the very chic Madeleine.

Goat cheese vegetarian lasagna at Grünerløkka, one of Oslo's trendiest hipster neighborhoods.

Enjoying a Norwegian vaffel with sour cream. nom. 

Last, but not least...I could not leave Norway without visiting the fjords! On my last day, Madeleine and Jeanette took me for a rooftop ferry ride on the Oslo Fjord. We made a quick tour of the islands off the coast of Oslo to catch the sunset. 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed all my posts on Norway!

Until the next adventure...xoxo
