The other night I had a dream that I was trying to boil a whole bunch of bagels over a campfire, but the water wouldn’t boil and I was panicking because I had to make something like 50 bagels and I had to do it all before meeting a friend for coffee. Talk about anxiety, […]
Busy Weekend
Last week was one of the busiest weeks that Luis and I have had in a long time. Actually, I take that back- we ALWAYS have busy weeks in terms of amount of work and amount of time out of the house, but last week was busy not only in terms of workload, but also […]
Wheatberry & Roasted Veggie Dinner Salad
Every day I go through this cycle of racking my brain trying to think about what to make for dinner. I like to cook and I like to follow recipes, but there are so many recipes out there and sometimes I feel like I have so little time that the idea of following a recipe […]
First Weekend Back in Madrid
Wow, it has been 2.5 months since I have spent a weekend in Madrid….2.5 MONTHS! That is almost a quarter of a year! With so much traveling, I have been in and out of Madrid all summer and for the last few weeks, so this was the first weekend where I was in Madrid and […]
Friday Five: September 2019
Wow, look at me with two posts in one day! Today has felt very long, like there are enough hours to do everything and then some. Maybe it’s because people are picking up their bagels later this afternoon, which left my morning wide open. Anyway, I had time to write a quick post this morning […]

Finding the right place to open up the next edition of Bruja’s Bakery has proven to be a little more difficult than we anticipated, but not because it’s hard to find a space that can work. No- that is the easy part… there are plenty of locales that are available and new ones become available […]
A Weekend in Munich
As I sat down to write this post, it occurred to me that I am not sure how to go about writing about our weekend in Munich because of the nature of the type of trip it was. We were in Munich first and foremost to celebrate the wedding of Alberto, and his bride, Sabrina, […]
28.
Today is my 28th birthday. That is so strange to thing/ say/ type/ experience. Time moves so quickly (I moved to Spain when I was 24) but also so slowly. I still remember when I was in preschool – wandering around the playground, picking up rocks, and the time the teacher gave me a huge […]
A Day at Islas Cies: How to Prepare & What to Pack
If you are planning a trip to Vigo or to the north of Spain, making time for a day at Islas Cies is mandatory. Make time to see this unique beach that has soft white sand, crystal clear water, and is almost completely natural. Islas Cies is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places I’ve seen […]
Another Week in Malaga
Luis and I just got back from a week long amazing road trip through the north of Spain, but before I share that, I need to back up and quickly write about our incredible time in Malaga. Looking back, I was just in Malaga in June, but it’s one of our favorite beach spots […]
