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 […]
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 […]
Lighter Sesame-Orange Chicken
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.
