Let me tell you how the pizza empanada was born. I was making pizzas to take to a little futbol party and I realized that with my measly toaster and only one pan, I would be in the kitchen FOREVER (on a beautiful day, nonetheless) trying to use all my dough. So while one pizza baked, […]

Five Eating Habits Americans Should Take From the Spaniards
1 // At restaurants, don’t eat the bread before the meal arrives (or not ALL of it). Bread accompanies any good meal. It soaks up the sauce, is used as a “food-pusher” of sorts, and tastes good. With that being said, here, you very rarely see bread being eaten before the main meal arrives. It […]
Is Yogurt Dessert?
There are a lot of questions and debate as to why Europeans (or Spaniards?) have a trimmer waist-line than us Americanos. I have a lot of opinions about this- our portion sizes, what exactly we are eating, when we eat, our attitudes toward eating, etc. That’s all for another day and another post, but this […]

Traveling through Morocco can be intimidating, but in this post, I will tell you exactly what we did. Just starting? Or […]

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. I’m both in shock that this weekend- a weekend that I have been looking forward to for so long- is over, and also amazed by what an amazing time I had in Morocco. It was everything that I expected, but also very different from what I […]

Not the basketball kind of March Madness! Not actually mad at all….it just sounded like a good name 🙂 I don’t really have much to share in the way of photos, but I still wanted to show you all what I did this weekend so that you can see a normal weekend here when it’s […]
Cafes in Madrid: Magasand (9/5/10)
Last Saturday, I was sitting at home, wasting time on my computer while the day was passing me by. I wasn’t busy and thought “let me text Meghan and see what she’s doing” with a tentative plan to take a nap if she was busy. As a matter of fact, she had just sat down […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Dionisos (6/10)
My friend, Annie, and I wanted to try something different for dinner last week. We had Dionisos on our radar since Greek food always looks good (um, hellllooo feta cheese!), and we were in the market for some lighter fare. I had high hopes for Dionisos, since the menu was full of a variety of […]
