Happy New Year food lovers! How’s 2021 treating you so far? It started nice for me. I’m taking things one step at a time, but there’s a lot of changes going on in everything. We all know 2020 shook things up, now we have to reinvent ourselves in any possible way. I made a playlist with some of the songs I enjoyed in 2020. December was a weird one. I didn’t even had time…
It’s almost Xmas Eve! Whaaaat? A year has happened since last Christmas and I feel like it’s been four years at least. I’m sensing I’m not the only one that feels that way, am I right? 😂 #2020 I’ve decided to take it easy for the Christmas season on the blog because I still need some rest from all the work I’ve done in the past couple of months. Too much work, plus a lot of complications along…
I have amazing news! A limited amount of copies of our new album is for sale NOW!! Go buy it before i’s too late 🙂 I am so happy that some fortunate souls will get it before everyone else in February! We worked so freaking hard for this one. You are taking a little piece of each of us to your home. I am incredibly grateful and happy. It’s time to celebrate, right? Well, there’s always something to…
I know that celebrating Thanksgiving is a bit of a controversial topic nowadays. I understand the underlying causes of the first celebration, but I also believe that giving thanks is a great excuse to celebrate. So, acknowledging that fact, I decided to incorporate pumpkin as an homage to Native Americans in my apple pie recipe this year. In Spain, Thanksgiving is something we don’t really celebrate. It’s become something known because of…
Good day to you all! This October was a very special one. It was my birthday AND Halloween. I know it happens every year, actually. But finally I could post more than one recipe for Halloween on the blog. Hurray! Like this mashed potatoes with kale: I am a person who’s very into rituals and that sort of stuff. When it comes to Halloween or in my case Samhain, I get all over the place. …
In Galicia we celebrate Samaín because we are Celts. That’s why I wanted to post a traditional Galician recipe we make for Halloween: Calacús (also known in Spanish as Chulas de calabaza) basically a pumpkin pancake 😁 The original recipe has a lot more sugar and is usually deep fried. But if I’m known for anything…that is reducing sugar and deep frying in my recipes. I’m not against eating anything, it’s just…
Tradition says that you have to bury a ring, a coin, a rag, a pea and a stick to do a fortune telling game during Samhain (best known nowadays as Halloween). Each piece will tell you if you would get married or not next year, or if you would be rich or poor. I’m known for being a very positive person, so I changed the game a bit. First of all beacuse I really didn’t want…
Did I ever tell you I am obsessed with Halloween? No? Really? Well, here it comes. Actually, I’m obsessed with celebrating, but Halloween is the most exciting event of the year for me. In fact, I celebrate Samhain, which is the Celtic tradition before it became viral 😂 Galicia, where I live, is a Celtic region and we actually call it Samain. It’s the Witches’ new year! For many years, I celebrated Halloween…
I love the rain. I think it isn’t a coincidence that I was born in October. Nothing is never a coincidence anyway. Don’t you think? I’ve been thinking about this month for a whole year. I love the begining of Autumn. If you don’t live in Galicia (or Ireland) you probably don’t really get why I love it so much. That smell of wet…well, everything! is so intoxicating. As soon as the season changes, the…
August came and went. It was a special month for me. I’ve been working in a very special project. It’s our new single! I’m so excited that people is liking it so much and being so kind to tell us. Here you have the video: We had so much fun watching our baby videos. It was a beautiful project to work on. Of course I waited until the release to add the song to the playlist, but also because even…
