You think Spain, and-let me guess- you think paella and sangria and flamenco dresses? Oh, and a lot of parties and people taking naps 😉 But there is so much more to Spain (specifically Madrid) that you don’t hear about, that really needs to be in the spotlight. If you’re planning a trip to Madrid anytime soon, here are six foods […]
It’s been quite some time (0kay, a week) since I have been back from the US, but I just haven’t been able to find the motivation to get on here and write. Where are you, motivation?! Part of it is this beautiful weather that Spain is having and I go many days without even cracking […]
Surprise! I went to the United States, just for a little rejuvenation, relaxation, and some re-charging. I was there because a good friend was getting married that week, which ended up being the perfect excuse for playing hooky for ten days! I was there for only ten days, which were ten days full of lots of […]
That bread up there was sooo good, now currently living in my freezer in Madrid 😉 Saturday was my last full day in Israel, so there was one thing, and only one thing, that I knew I wanted to accomplish. Breakfast. Specifically, Israeli breakfast. I wanted the whole shebang- the 15 little plates of salad […]
Day two was wedding day!!! We got up, got dressed, and almost immediately caught a taxi to the wedding (which got lost on the way and was super angry that he had insisted we take a pre-set fare that we originally thought was too high and ended up being too low…hehehe). We were blown away by […]
I don’t know where to begin when trying to tell you how absolutely incredible this trip was last weekend. Should I begin with talking about the city? Or the food? Or my family? Or meeting all of these long-lost distant relatives? Or should I tell you about the absolutely incredible wedding I went to? So […]
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, […]
Part I and Part II here, if you haven’t read yet. On our final full day in Tenerife, we wanted to go visit some other towns and explore more of the island. We had plans to hit three towns in the north, but only made it to one. But primero, breakfast! And then we got […]
It’s been so long since I’ve done a weekend post! The weekend started Thursday, as it always does! It was nice and low key, first with some furniture shopping (FUN as it sounds) and then I went to Luis’ for my third favorite food in the entire world! Salad de la mama espanola!!! On […]
Just checking in? Here is Part I. We woke up on Saturday morning and started with breakfast and coffee. As you might imagine, it was a sloooow start for some of us (me). I actually didn’t have coffee since I couldn’t stomach it. Once we were somewhat fueled up, we packed our bags and headed […]
