I feel like I have been in a complete dinner rut the last few…months? I used to actually cook food and not just throw some lettuce in a bowl with a few toppings, but lately have felt very ‘meh’ about cooking. Yesterday, out of the blue, I decided I wanted to eat something besides a salad so […]
Hello, hello! I have been thinking about starting a new series for A Spoonful of TLC, and since many of my readers are current or future auxiliares de conversación (language and culture assistants here in Madrid), then I thought I would do a short summer series all about that. For today’s topic, I am going […]
Hello, hello! I am writing this after a lovely little weekend in Santander, Spain (in the north, and the home of Santander Bank! How cool!). Luis and I had talked about spending the weekend visiting Santander, Spain, but then asked his mom if she wanted to join for her birthday, and then his brother- Adrián- […]
In case you don’t know, I have one of the coolest jobs in the world. I take people on tours of Madrid, showing them the best places to get food and drinks, while getting to meet awesome people from around the world. How do I do it? I work for Withlocals as a tour guide here […]
If you’ve ever been in Madrid during August, you are familiar with the feeling of your thighs being so damp with sweat that they can’t even rub together and that your back is constantly dripping sweat even though you’re not moving.

Hello, hello, hello! I don’t even know where to begin! I’ve been MIA over here, but that’s because Luis and I were on a week-long vacation visiting Portugal’s most amazing beaches and then when we got back, I immediately hit the ground running with work and doing things. Anyway, here I am, almost 2 weeks […]
I am currently writing this post while waiting in a huge line at the bank and there are only two people working. I opened this account 3 years ago, and have never had problems, but recently they closed ALL branches except for one so there is constantly a line and a lot of angry spaniards. […]
Hey! Remember how this used to be a food and fitness blog and then I stopped writing about food and fitness (except for the occassional breakfast shot, since my Mom really enjoys them). So, let’s make it all better and show you what my food and workouts have been looking like lately (and by lately, […]
Hello, hello! I’m sorry for going off the radar for the last couple of weeks, but time got away from me last week and then I spent 5 days on a very special trip in Lahr, Germany and also went to Portugal for a lovely beach vacation, which I will recap soon. In the meantime, please […]
I wrote this post over ten days ago, right after getting back from our trip to Lahr, Germany. I’ve had it sitting in my drafts folder, but haven’t posted it because I felt weird about putting this on the internet. I went back and forth as to why I felt ‘off’ and eventually realized that […]
