Spain is famous for a lot of things (siestas, flamenco dancing, paella, wine, olives), annnnnd it’s beaches. The majority of Spain is surrounded by water, except for that little annoying bit that keeps it attached to the rest of Europe ;). So anyway, there are a lot of beaches and a lot of really incredible […]
1 // At restaurants, don’t eat the bread before the meal arrives (or not ALL of it). Bread accompanies any good meal. It soaks up the sauce, is used as a “food-pusher” of sorts, and tastes good. With that being said, here, you very rarely see bread being eaten before the main meal arrives. It […]
What a whirlwind the last few days have been! Last we left off, Shannon and Teresa were here for about a day and a half before we picked up and headed into greener pastures- Ireland! We had a late afternoon flight, which had us touching down in Dublin at 7 pm before quickly getting on […]
You have no idea how happy the last 24 hours have made me! Two of my very best friends flew across the ocean to come see ME (and ok, maybe to see Europe, too). Either way, I am so, so, so happy to have Shannon and Teresa here! They arrived early yesterday morning and we […]
There are a lot of questions and debate as to why Europeans (or Spaniards?) have a trimmer waist-line than us Americanos. I have a lot of opinions about this- our portion sizes, what exactly we are eating, when we eat, our attitudes toward eating, etc. That’s all for another day and another post, but this […]

Last Saturday, I was sitting at home, wasting time on my computer while the day was passing me by. I wasn’t busy and thought “let me text Meghan and see what she’s doing” with a tentative plan to take a nap if she was busy. As a matter of fact, she had just sat down […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
