Los Chuchis is a bar that has been on my radar for some time since it’s right in my hood! I walk past there on my way home from school and it’s always packed with eager customers and the food looks awesome. I have always loved their bright colors and clean appearance compared to the other […]
La Bicicleta Cycling Cafe and Workplace Address: Plaza de San Ildefonso, 9, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: bright (during the day), earthy with a lot of wood, brick, etc. Busy and lively when it’s full of people. There are smaller tables and sofas to have a drink with friends and large work spaces for people using their computers. […]
I wrote this post and never posted it and since it’s already Friday, I need to set it free into the cyber world to get all your eager eyes ready for my next weekend post! This weekend was so good… I always say that, don’t I?? Thursday flew by, thanks to only having three quick […]
Hummus is one of those must-have things that is always in my refrigerator and I put it on just about… everything. Vegetables, rice cakes, meat, rice, my spoon. It’s quick, filling, and so good. And while it’s not crazy expensive here in Spain, it can be quite pricey in the United States. Even here, it’s […]
Hello hello! Happy Tuesday! Today I am sharing my standby breakfast recipe that is my day-to-day go-to. It’s simple (ready in under 5 minutes!), cozy, comforting, tasty AND most importantly, it’s filling! Over the years, I have experimented with fancy breakfasts (it’s my favorite meal of the day!) from eggs, to bagels, to egg sandwiches, […]
I love trying new recipes and making something a little extra “special” on Friday nights. Something a little better than my usual kale with tuna and hot sauce concoction. This weekend, I was in the mood for Asian flavors- soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame, and did a quick search for Sesame-Garlic chicken. The results were […]
Goooooooooooooood morning and happy Monday! How was the Super Bowl? Any good parties? Good dips? Crunchy chips?? Add: “The Super Bowl parties” to the list of things I sometimes miss about the U.S. I don’t miss the game itself, but I miss the excitement… and the 7-layer taco dip. Super Bowl or no Super Bowl, […]
Happy weekend, ya’ll! I don’t know about you, but this week has felt l-o-n-g to me, but of course as I am writing this, it’s Friday night already, which means Thursday is done, Friday is done, and there are ONLY TWO MORE DAYS AHHHHH slow down weekend! Why does this always happen? Either way, […]
For some incredible tortilla espanola, drinks, raciones (plates to share)- all at amazing price- go to El Buo in La Latina! It’s part of a restaurant group that owns a number of similar restaurants, but for large slices of tortilla, you’ll want to head to El Buo and for an entire tortilla to share among […]

Arrived late last night, spent the day wandering around today, then tomorrow we are off to CHAMONIX for the day, and then I´m back to Madrid early Sunday morning. Spain is going to feel tropical after the cold that they have […]
