I am Swedish and Christoffer is Norwegian, so our meals are often based on Scandinavian recipes that we have eaten ever since we were young. Join me today for a full day of eating here on Svalbard and in the World's Northernmost Town, Longyearbyen. I hope you enjoy this video and thank you so much for being here! ☀️☕️

About Cecilia:
Cecilia Blomdahl is originally from Sweden and moved to Svalbard 8 years ago. She works as a photographer and videographer in Longyearbyen, and with her social media channels. Check her out on tiktok and instagram under her handle @sejsejlija! Here on youtube she posts videos about her daily life in her cabin with her boyfriend Christoffer and her dog Grim, living just outside of Longyearbyen. Subscribe for videos about her daily life as well as adventures on an island close to the North Pole. They have polar bears there!
Kristoffer is so chill. Love when he’s on the channel. He’s so calming.
Me too. He's one of those quietly masculine guys who can do just about anything with ease, from running a boat on a fishing trip to making pie.
He has typical Norweigan energy😂
I want a guy like Christopher 😊
@@mkistach7115when you find one let me know if he has a brother. Preferably one between 30-40ish years old 😂
He reminds me of my dad. They have the same demeanor and they look alike lol
Not going to lie, Cecilia is entertaining and smart, Christoffer is chill and kind... but I actually watch these videos for Grim lol. That dog has melted this cat person's heart. And you guys take such great care of him
@@brennabelland4678 it’s so true! Grim makes me want a dog so bad and I’m a dyed in the wool Catlady!!!
So true. I’m in love with Grim. Wish I could give him a big hug ❤❤❤❤❤
Grim is how I got here in the first place ! 😂
@@brennabelland4678 grim is so beautiful; I love watching him!
I'm also a cat person, but I always have a soft spot for huskies ❤
Every time I see Grim, my heart fills with joy and happiness. He is such a sweet boy.
Sending much love and pets to Grim 🥰
Don't forget spend donate to them☝️
I love that you never stop marveling at the beauty you live in!
Absolutely! Her positive energy flows!
The beauty that is rapidly (7 times faster than anywhere else) warming up to catastrophic levels. But do we hear even a squeak about it on this channel? Noooo.
@@MrMesospheric I am thankful that she doesn’t delve into that. Plenty of other channels and ways to get that info. Refreshing.
There is a podcast I listen to that does interviews. They don’t go into politics at all. They do that on purpose because that is not their focus. I like that.
@@MrMesosphericshe’ll bring it up the day she needs to install an air conditioner
@@MrMesosphericyep we are coming out of an Ice Age 😉
I love how you two are a well oiled machine. You both take turns doing stuff for each other.
Me screaming from the rooftops,” I ❤cooking with Christoffer!” I’m so glad you added his segment to the channel and not just for Patreon members. 😊❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃😍🩵
@@CeciliaBlomdahlof course you glad viewers are your money☺️
@@letun100well, what other business person do you know who would put all that hard work in without being payed? Being a TH-camr is a payed job. ❤
@@deebee.14 unfortunately, I can't leave links because TH-cam immediately deletes them and I know a huge number of businessmen who are here on TH-cam, under the guise of unwillingness to receive money, make their channels here and actually advertise themselves.further-that is, how does he not receive remuneration???this blogger advertised and sold his absolutely useless book to many naive subscribers and gets the opportunity to make a lot of money from TH-cam and patrion.
@@letun100 what the heck are you talking about
I am a mom and grandmom…they all flew the coop…married with children…and I am alone on a Sunday night. After I cooked my meal, I poured a glass of wine and had company for the dinner. You are both such good company. And of course Grim! Thank you for sharing your life with me. Hey, you didn’t say bye! 😂.
😘😘❣
Cecilia without you I seriously would have never knew Svalbard existed! But I seriously love learning and especially telling everyone I know about polar night and polar day and how it works is so cooool omg! Svalbard is top #1 on my travel lost thanks to you 🩷 omg i also just love picking up little facts you tell us about Svalbard, one I tell all the time is that the doorframes are smaller so polar bears don’t fit through 😮 also hiii from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you, well said.
Melbourne here. Svalbard on the bucket list
🩵🩵🩵🩵
We call that Rhubarb Crumble in Australia and New Zealand. I love it.
Oh, wow, I missed that! (doorframes/polar bears) And same, same, I've only met maybe 3 random people who've even heard of Svalbard, one was a subscriber amazingly enough and one actually spent 3 months on Svalbard working on an IT project for the Island. Would also love to visit, quite the journey! I hope you make it there!
This whole video is the best of your channel. The vibes were immaculate. The belugas, the frame for the shots of Christopher in the kitchen, the shots of the hillside, the new take on “what I eat in a day”… this is one of your best!
Belugas like belugas , what unusual ? 🤔
Good god its a home video she isn’t 20th Century Fox and Kristopher making coffee is not Gordon Ramsey!
Can we have a cooking with Christoffer vid plz. I don’t really cook and when I do it turns out sad, but I love watching him do it. 😂
I second this! Would love a vegetarian/ veggie adaptable recipe
i was gonna comment aswell they should either do some more videos of him cooking or his own channel i would 100% watch dude is chill af it's nice cause it's kinda rare !
Turns out sad 😂 You are not alone.
@@notsureiL 😂
How much you old?
I’m sad you got sucked into AG1. They have hit all the influencers 😞. Read the back- “proprietary blend” of nutrients means you’re getting undisclosed amounts of random ingredients. Many of them have no real impact on your health. It’s just an overpriced powder. Also, (if you care) the product is not organic, not 100% natural (you can notice added synthetic vitamins listed on the ingredients side of their Supplement Fact Panel), has stevia listed as an ingredient, it's not sugar-free and it's not manufactured in the US, does not offer free shipping, and it’s expensive! $$$. My husband used it for a while and finally realized it was not doing anything for him. Just take a good multivitamin and eat your fruits and veggies 🥦
This is very true.
I was always suss about it.
I’ve been meaning to try it but it all seems so easy and convenient. Bloody JRE 😢😂
She has to make a living too!
'Sucked in' is true. Check out the Vagabond series.
Christoffer needs to have his own cooking show
My brain read this and thought ‘yes indeed, I would watch Grim cook meals too’
What happened to Christoffers Cooking show?
Cecília, my life's been hell for the past weeks. I've been working my ass off, a bunch of projects and deadlines at work, relationship issues, living by myself and having to maintain house... I'm tired. But yours videos ALWAYS relax me deeply. I truly feel better after watching them. I know these videos are your job after all, but I want you to know that your job definitely makes my life a little bit softer. Thank you for that ❤
Same here, sending love! 🤍
❤😊🙏
This reminded me of being a little girl. My stepdad was from Sweden and I always had Swedish crispbread with cheese and cucumber and tea for breakfast. ❤️ Also I can never see a Buluga without hearing the song from my daughter’s childhood. “Baby beluga in the deep blue sea, you swim so wild and you swim so free….” 🎼
I lost my sixteen years old dog yesterday and Grims warms my hurt. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sorry to hear that ❤️❤️ All the love from us! ❤️
I lost my little one too. She was my best bud. Sending you all the healing prayers 🙏
@@jjjjforever4296 thank you, my dear. Lots of love for you too. It’s hard.
Beluga wales outside your house guys!!! Doesn’t get better than that AND rhubarb crumble and custard!!!
What a lovely, peaceful, cosy day!! Thanks Cecilia, Christoffer and the star of the show….. Grim 🥰🍦🍦🍦👍🏻🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
You can live there too and watch this view every day ☺️are you ready move there?
@@letun100 isnt norway super expensive?
@@potheadraccoon8536 It 's also expensive, and plus Norway is a Nazi country
I cannot believe you are having your morning coffee watching Belugas !! It makes my heart so happy!!!!!
I like seriously cleaned my bedroom.....took over 4 hours. The only thing keeping me going was your vlog and a cup of coffee ☕ being my reward of the day! ❤ Your channel
Woohoop well done! 🙌🏻🩵
Excuse me, how much you old ?
Rhubarb Crumble and Custard was such a staple of my childhood in the UK. My Dad grew so much, we would have fresh rhubarb, gooseberries, plums, apples, pears…every Sunday would be a homegrown crumble for pudding.
Your little island is so pretty! So much wildlife! Thank you for sharing this part of the world with everyone :)
Thanks for watching! 😊😊😊
With the exception of sweet goat cheese, which I've never seen in Israel (we have white goat cheese from France), it's the same as an Israeli breakfast. Israelis don't do pancakes, but Russians do blintzes, it's similar, we have frozen ones. My mother made rhubarb with strawberries, but not in a pie.
Shalom,
Aviva in Akko
Christoffer is so calming...really enjoy watching y'all cook together.
Watching your videos on a Sunday gives me peace❤
I know what you mean, makes you slow down and just breathe 😊
I agree with you!
Thank you, dear Cecilia, for sharing your life and your family with us! En stor kram till dig och Christoffer samt många klappar till den sötaste Lapphunden på Svalbard! 🤗❤️
هل انتي متزوجه احب الاوربيات
Christoffer seems more and more comfortable in front of the camera, I really love your chill and comfortable couple/family dynamic (can't forget sweet Grimm)
It truly broke my heart seeing that beautiful beluga in its natural glorious habitat knowing there are so many trapped in a tank near by me at a decrepit theme park. You're blessed with so much wonder at your doorstep Cecelia. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Even in the dull cloudy weather it looks absolutly beautiful, i love it ❤
One thing I have for sure learned from Cecelia is to appreciate the views no matter what the weather. And the sky, I appreciate the sky more cuz of her. 🩵
Iceland and Svalbard are 2 places that are just as beautiful in overcast weather
I could watch a Christoffer cooking show on repeat. :)
Also, please remind him ~ next recipe book, I'd love a recipe for the Norwegian pancake mix. I bought a griddle that makes the beautiful shaped pancakes!
Thank you for sharing your cultures with us!
Marianna
pancakes; in NJ we used Bisquick baking flour but any complete mix works ok too. Thin with extra water so you get crepes (thin pancakes) like they did. Roll with a fork then pour on maple syrup. Glass of milk is vital. :)
I agree with everyone Kristoffer is very chill and always charming - love their interaction as a couple.
Is there a petition yet to request a cook book from Christopher of Swedish meal time food? We don't eat sweets but would absolutely make the meatballs and the cod cakes. Would just need an actual recipe and would totally pay for it.
They have digital cookbooks by Christoffer 😋
Your music selection is superb! ❤ Great videos! I love that you share so much of your life with us 💙💚🩵
I love that you two eat real food with real ingredients and don’t have diet hangups!
Every Sunday I watch your new video while making and drinking coffee. Usually you guys are drinking coffee so it is like chilling with you guys drinking coffee.
My mother would cook strawberries, rhubarb with some sugar, and we would eat with vanilla ice-cream. It was so good.
I really love watching Christoffer cook, and tell us tips about what he is doing and why and the different foods from Europe. He is so confident and it is very therapeutic to watch. In Vancouver I can't find that Knackebrot anywhere and it is a fortune to order it online.
Please make a cookbook! Your meals remind me so much of the food I ate growing up with my Swedish grandmother and mother in NYC. Surrounded by Italians, Irish and Eastern European immigrants, it was a wealth of flavors but Scandinavian food remains my favorite.
The funniest thing happened while I was watching this video. I happened to have something cooking in the oven while I was watching Christopher cook the meat balls on my tv. And as what I the meal I had in the oven started release an aroma in the room brain interpreted that as though I was smelling what I was watching for s split second. 😅. It really did add a fantastic dimension to the video for a split second though. Lol
I really loved this video. I think it’s especially revealing of a specific culture to experience the food, the dishware and the way in which you prepare the items. So fun! Thanks Cecilia!
I’m American, but my parents were both first generation immigrants from Holland. My mom always made rhubarb cobbler, very similar to how Christopher made the crumble. She called anything with the fruit on the bottom/dough type addition on top a cobbler, and anything with the dough on the bottom and fruit over it was a pie. 😃 Not sure if that is an American thing or Dutch thing? But it sure always tasted good!
It's the same in Australia - fruit on the bottom is a crumble, fruit on top is a pie or tart
it's almost never a dutch thing because they don't have or invented anything, certainly not in the cooking department
These are some of the most relaxing calming videos on TH-cam, so appreciative of Cecilias excellent filmmaking skills and that she captures and shares this way of life
So enjoyed spending the day with the three of you and vicariously enjoying your lovely food. Brown cheese is a new one for me here in Dublin but rhubarb and other fruit crumbles are a staple here in Ireland and the UK.
Grim is just too cute...what a happy puppy :) Love Christoffer's approach to everything...so calm
I‘m from northern Germany and all the dishes feel so familiar 😮 when I was a kid we often had Knäckebrot (as we call it) from Wasa with cheese for breakfast. Meatballs with potatoes and beans are also very common and we actually had rhubarb in our garden 😅 we only make our pancakes a little different, but it still reminds me of childhood so much 😍
I am an American of Swedish decent, all of my grandparents were Swedish and my father immigrated as a boy with his family. So much of what you ate in this episode have been part of our lives growing up! Yum. Now I am going to make some meatballs for dinner tonight!
Who else adores Chef Christopher????😍🥰
Wow....This is the most I have seen Chris actually in the kuche and cooking!! One can see he is a pro at this. You guys are great. And you have a geat life. Thanks for sharing your cold cloudy days.
Good morning from Australia. I so much look forward to waking up on Monday mornings to catch you on TH-cam. It’s 7.30 am here and while watching you, I’m enjoying my pot of tea, a blend of Lady Gray, Ginger and Turmeric.
You made crumble, nicely played. I love the fact that something I consider so English that is unique to every culture and country.
Right? 😂 Reading the comments, almost everyone seems to eat rhubarb crumble!
Svalvard in summer is mystical. Svalvard in winter is magical. What a stunning place you call home! Beluga whales, Grim and Christopher cooking... Wow. Lucky girl you are.😊
Love this one. I am a 1st gen American. My mom was from Eskilstuna. You made and ate all the foods that remind me of her in one day. Love watching all your videos❤
My mom used to make strawberry rhubarb pie. The strawberries cut the bitterness of the rhubarb, and the rhubarb gave it crunch and texture.
Greetings from Maine, USA! Thank you for sharing your video!
As an American I would have your lunch for breakfast and your breakfast for lunch lol
Thanks for sharing
This pie is what we in Canada might call a crumble. So good! And with pourable custard - to die for!
Best moment in this fun day-in-the-life video: Christopher lighting your fire with a chef’s blow torch! Love my Sunday time with Cecilia, Chistopher and Grim!! 🐕
Same here I love that your other half is proactive,it definitely balances integrity of the contents lol❤
Swedish meatballs, crepes, and rhubarb pie?! What an excellent menu 😊 Christoffer, you're killing me 😂 Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I was going to comment that those are not pancakes; they are crepes but you beta me to it LOL
@@ridingmoon1617it's a translation from swedish "pannkaka"
I’ve been into these simple types of videos where people
Are just living, cooking, relaxing or working and I love it. For some reason I don’t feel much joy when I’m doing the same things lol. But I love seeing others though. Maybe bc I’m alone. The views of nature surrounding you are also out of this world. New subscriber ❤
Christoffer needs an entire cookbook! LOL Thanks for another fun video!! Already looking forward to next week! 🤭😊
They made a cookbook already!
We have two Cooking with Christoffer digital cookbooks on my website! www.ceciliablomdahl.com 😊😊
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Two?? OMG, I thought you guys only had a Nordic baking cookbook! I'll check out the other one!😊
@@CeciliaBlomdahl I have both digital cookbooks which are great. I don’t have a computer or tablet so have to view through my phone. If you ever put out a book format I would definitely purchase. Love you all!
I never get tired of your view! I just love Christoffer and Grimm..both so chill...💙 Does Christoffer miss cooking for large groups of people? He is such a great chef!
Glad you enjoy it! ☀️
We call that Rhubarb Crumble in Australia and New Zealand. I love it. I was raised on dairy farms so there was always fresh cream yummmy!!
Beluga whales and you captured them so beautifully to share. Thankyou. 🇦🇺🙏💞👍👌✌️👏🥰
Svalbard is absolutely beautiful!! So is Grim!! I love all the love you give him. He is such a good boy 🥰 Your food looked amazing especially the meat balls! I was surprised to see Christopher with the rhubarb. I thought that was pretty cool. I loved watching you guys cook together. It was fun and very entertaining. You flipping the pancakes lol. I always look forward to your videos and of course Grim!! Have a great week from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸
Good morning/afternoon/evening. I'm so glad to see a new video. You guys are so chill and you've built such a great life for yourselves.
I want to comment on the captions being hard to read; light text and light background is tough.
Anyway, thank you so much for sharing the cool place you live!
I think Cecilia Christoffer and Grim are living some of the best lives on earth 🩵🩵🩵
Your video just makes my sunday complete❤
I love how Grim is always so happy ❤️
I was feeling down this week and Sunday afternoon I found your new video and it really picked my spirits up Thank you
Not only have you continuously inspired me to visit Svalbard but now I also want to see Sweden and Norway just as much! And even Finland. Also your cozy home, adventure and cooking videos are so comforting to me as I’m pretty lonely with my current living situation. So glad to see you and Christoffer and Grim doing well ☺️🖤
Super relaxing, thank you!
I'm so glad! 😃
I find your videos to be really enjoyable and relaxing Cecilia. And thank you Christoffer for the lovely looking food🌹
Always love watching your videos!
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your day with us in this lovely place ❤
Me preocupé cuando no ví a Grimm hasta la mitad de tu vídeo. El siempre participa de todas tus actividades. Me encantan tus videos! Bendiciones te sigo desde Argentina🥰🇦🇷🇦🇷
Grim is the politest beggar at the table. Good boy!
LOVE to watch Christoffer in the kitchen....
I love that you and Kristoffer share your lunch with Grim!! ❤❤
Crisp bread with sliced tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese and a little olive oil and salt. Delicious!
I live in Texas and I eat WASA rye crispbread almost every day for lunch. Usually topped with egg salad or ham and cheese or even peanut butter and jelly. Love it.
I buy lingonberry jam here in London, love it. Rhubarb crumble is a very common dessert here too.
Love the whales right outside your door, beautiful.
I love your videos. They are like a meditation to end my week. I also enjoy watching Christoffer cook. I need his recipe for the meatballs!!
Hello from Texas to Cecilia, Christoffer & beautiful Grim!!❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good morning! ☀️
Christoffer cooking channel for the wumi!!! I loved his comment, "it's not hocus pocus!" You two melt my heart that you eat together at each meal. Best wishes to you both!❤🎉
You see beluga whales from your deck in the morning? I stepped on a slug in my bare feet taking out the trash.....🤣
lol 💎
Omg! Cracked me up….😂
I lived in NYC for a decade and seriously missed bugs, slugs… any ‘proof of life’ ( apart from cockroaches). Beluga whales over breakfast are something else entirely.
OMG! Rhubarb, when Christoper pulled out the rhubarb, my ears and eyes perked up! My husbands favorite pie is strawberry rhubarb pie!
Great video with you three, love it, and food of course! ty
aww. He’s such a cutie pie. So adorable. Grim needs his own episode: A day in the life of Grim on Svalbard. lol
I didn't know that rolling the pancakes was Swedish thing. We would make our swedish pancakes and roll them and dip them in powdered sugar or have them with jam, I didn't know that was a traditional way to eat them that my grandparents and dad brought with them to America. AND seeing these traditional foods reminded me of my childhood with my grandparents and father... tears!
These look like crepes.
@@barbaravyse660 They are not, they're pancakes.
Rhubarb crumble with custard…all of your meals looked delicious. Christopher’s healthy eating is showing.
I miss this kind of weather... currently we are living in +38C ... I miss these days, and rain, and clouds uhhh
I love watching Kristoffer cooking. There's something calming about him
Beautiful landscape, fog whales, ocean. I also love rhubarb custard pie, crumble, jam, pretty much anything. What that cream you pour over the top? I sometimes eat it with vanilla ice cream. Grim is so beautiful and fun to see in each video. Thanks to Christoffer for the food demos! Really liked his sweater with the flags. How’s his man- cave btw?
Thank you all for another great video!
Direct translation "vanilla sauce" so custard in English, I guess?
It’s like having the TV on just by looking out your windows. 😊❤
Except it’s wayyyyyy better than the idiot box.
Thank you for letting us share your day with us, so relaxing. Can’t wait to visit Svalbard this February.
It's good to know there are still authentic people living real life who don't have perfectly clean spotless beige pots and pans just because influencers show these to us. I really enjoyed this video and I love Chris' cooking and how chill and cozy your day was
P.s. greetings from Poland 🤎
Honestly, i can't wait for polarnight. I love seeing darkness. I,m no summer person and i can't stand the heath very well. I,m from holland i don't mind moving to Sweden or close to it to have colder temperatures in the summer. Anyway.. it's always a pleasure to watch your videos! Thank you and please give Grim a big cuddle, he's so cute!!
Svalbard is Norwegian. Not Swedish. The languages are similar enough and Sweden too is a NATO member now, so the legal differences will likely be blurring more and more between those two countries over the next few decades.
Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance.
Beluga treat❤ ! I had such a good laugh at the beginning when Christopher did the fireplace. Done in a second with that firething bazuka😂…jet his cooking and baking is always done with care. I enjoyed watching & Lovely food😊 and now…I am hungry and want pancakes🎉🎉🎉😊
Such a nice calm video to watch at the end of a long day! Tak!
Good Morning Cecilia and Christopher, Grim ☕️☕️ everything looks yummy delicious 🔥😋
Loved today's show with all the yummy food! It all looked so good! It was great to see the Belugas so close to your cabin! Bye from Scotland! 🏴
