Hello, hello! Here we are, sitting on the other side of yet another incredible trip. I am totally a broken record, but I might be the luckiest person on this planet to have so many wonderful opportunities to travel. I have been traveling to places that I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would […]
Another amazing, whirlwind of a weekend in the books! Luis and I spent a three day weekend in Lyon, France. It was the perfect combination of site-seeing, eating all of the cheese and pastries, and relaxing. Below you will find the details and pictures! I feel so incredibly grateful to have this opportunity to travel […]
What a name! But there is no other way to describe this bread that was born out of my kitchen last night. It’s fall-spiced with loads of cinnamon, a pinch of cloves and a dash of nutmeg. It is light and fluffy (and orange in color), thanks to the two cups of pureed butternut squash […]
Multiple people have recommended Lamucca as a great restaurant for a fun date night, so last night we gave it a go! There are multiple locations (Plaza Carlos Cambronero, Calle Prado, Calle Almagro, Calle Serrano) [#success], but they only had a last minute opening at Calle Prado. This one is near Anton Martin metro stop […]
El Columpio Address: 28010, Calle de Caracas, 10, 28010 Madrid Atmosphere: I LOVED this restaurant for their design. Seriously….#housedesigngoals Warm lights, black steel, mirrors, distressed wood, hanging plants and turquoise accents. A great place for a romantic dinner or for a night out with friends. Also, it was big, so plenty of room! Type of […]
Making: Banana bread (with lots of Greek yogurt and only a little bit of sugar! The recipe is so good and so easy. Make it). Tomorrow I am going to make apple muffins via A Healthy Slice of Life. Cooking: a couple weekends ago I had a little birthday party for myself (and housewarming party) and I […]
Happy First Third Day of SUMMER!!!! It doesn´t really matter how old I get, summer time is still as special and exciting as it always has been, and I still feel giddy thinking about long days at the pool and beach, lots of ice cream and beer, and just general time to have fun. Summer […]
La Bruta Address: Calle del Pez, 11, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: Young, modern, dark lighting, open front. We have been there in the past (trying to get a table with no reservation….no bueno), and it has been completely full and HOT, but this time it was completely fine). Type of food: They have a short food menu […]
Bar Tomate Address: Calle de Fernando El Santo, 26, 28046 Madrid Atmosphere: Warm, mood lighting. It has a ¨library¨feel with bookshelves and lamps made out of book pages, as you can see in the picture above. Trendy, but not overly fancy. I thought they had the music on too loudly, but we were seated under a […]
El Patio de Fisgon Address: Calle de Don Ramon de la Cruz, 26, 28001 Madrid Atmosphere: The restaurant was quite small, but interesting design and not too crowded. It was hot, though. Originally, they put us at a table in the center with the waiters walking back and forth, but we asked to move when […]
