Christmas Recipe: Brussels Sprouts with potatoes and pomegranate

Christmas Recipe: Brussels Sprouts with potatoes and pomegranate

Good day everyone! And Merry (anticipated) Christmas! I didn’t want to en 2024 without publishing a Christmas recipe here in the blog. So I thought to myself, what ingredients are the most “christmastic”? Brussels sprouts and potatoes had to be in here. Also, I always associate pomegranate to Christmas season. It’s not my first recipe with this ingredient, as you can see. I’m glad I did this recipe, not only because it tastes delicious but also as a reminder of…

Getting ready for the Christmas Season: food, recipes and life update.

Getting ready for the Christmas Season: food, recipes and life update.

Hey there! You missed me? I guess not. But anyway, I’ll keep writing here as often as I please. My house, my rules. I want to talk to you a little bit about Christmas recipes, food I’ve been eating and a little life update. But first, here’s the playlist for November as I haven’t crafted my Christmas list yet. Start listening before you dig in. These past months have been a bit of a reset (mentally) for me. I’ve been…

August 2024: Life update.

August 2024: Life update.

Here I am, listening to the August playlist while I write yet another life update. You can listen and read while you see some food pics and know a little bit more about my month.  I usually love the playlists I curate for August and specially September. I gather the songs throughout July-August, and that means they are a bit more positive. I am very emotion centered and that reflects in my art, my work and my everyday life.  This…

Summer vibes: planning fun things and life update

Summer vibes: planning fun things and life update

Hello hello! Tune into the July playlist because July is a great month to chill and have fun. Music helps creating that soundtrack for Summer. Last month was a very Bridgerton month. Not only because the third season was out, but because I’ve been doing embroidery like crazy making a piece for an exhibition. The place where the piece is right now (until August 15th) is called Villa Idalina, in the North of Portugal. It is very Bridgerton too. Why…

June life update: Embroidery exhibition, new members in my team and, of course, food :)

Hi loves! Here I am with another life update and a lot of food pics to share with you. I leave the playlist here because the experience is always better if you read this while listening to some good tunes. Enjoy! It’s been a month for working on many projects at the same time and taking leaps of faith. I’ve been enjoying eating out my breakfasts, luches and dinners. Why, because I enjoy eating al fresco, always. That made me…

London: Sketching, Chai and Paneer. A life update.

London: Sketching, Chai and Paneer. A life update.

Here’s your monthly update, this time it features London for the most part because I’ve spent half April walking and enjoying my first holidays in more than 10 years. Alas! It’s been a while also since I was in London, and this was my first time travelling alone there. It’s a whole other story. Tune into the playlist of the month while you read: I’ve spent most of my days going to museums to draw, and in between I tried…

New food, brands and inspiration. My experience at Galicia FĂłrum GastronĂłmico 2024

New food, brands and inspiration. My experience at Galicia FĂłrum GastronĂłmico 2024

One more time, Galicia FĂłrum GastronĂłmico left me with a good taste in my mouth, so I’m here to tell you a little bit more about it. Each year I attend to this event, I try to experience all the different activities and workshops to immerse myself in the full Forum experience. This year I got a bit too much on my plate and now it’s passed, I’m glad I did. My favourite part of this event are the workshops….

What I ate in a month: monthly update and playlist.

What I ate in a month: monthly update and playlist.

Last month was full of food events and I am grateful for that because I’ve been missing my food people. I leave the playlist bellow so you can listen while you read. The whole experience by SĂ­lvia. The thing about eating food that you don’t cook is that, usually, restaurants and events center on flavour and pleasure and not always nutrition. I’ve been feeling my nutrients a bit on the low side, so I’ve tried to sneak in some fruit…

February 2024 – Monthly update

February 2024 – Monthly update

So here we are. Mid-March. February was tough for me in many ways: health issues in the family (blood and furry), a broken computer in the studio stopping us from recording our next album (top priority) and not being able to fix it for a while because it seemed like a different kind of problem, even for the experts. Also, very low energy and not too much time for doing anything else than solving problems. But this is your reminder…

February 2024: Monthly update. France, melancholy and the food I ate.

February 2024: Monthly update. France, melancholy and the food I ate.

Hey there! How was your January? I bring you the playlist first because I feel like we already have our own little ritual of listening to the tunes while writing/reading my blog posts. My January has been full of joy for the most part, then it became melancholic again. One can’t always be positive, I guess it’s the ebb and flow of life. Emotions are changing constantly. I don’t force happiness because I love melancholy as much as I do…
