Christmas Recipe: Brussels Sprouts with potatoes and pomegranate

Comments 0 Comment

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…

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…

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…

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 Sílvia. 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…

Hello again. I’m back! Life update: January 2024.

Hey! Did you miss me? I surely did. I’ve been focusing in other projects but the other day I felt the urge to come back here. To write in English about life and food. But as always, tune in your spotify and listen to my January Playlist. It comes with oldies. I felt nostalgic. I decided to come back to this monthly summaries. More as a check up than anything else. I really don’t focus my life on food that…

February: playlist, new tour and happy thoughts.

February: playlist, new tour and happy thoughts.

It’s February already and I am happy because I’ve just announced a new tour with Escuchando Elefantes     Don’t forget the playlist of the month 🙂   It’s been a while since we’ve toured. A long while. We’re excited and busy. I’ve been incredibly busy during January. That’s a good thing to avoid the winter blues.   But being busy always takes a toll on my body. This week I’ve been feeling the inflammation creeping up, so I am…

January 2023: The Winter Blues

January 2023: The Winter Blues

It’s the first month of 2023 and even though I’m a very optimistic person, I can’t help but feeling the winter blues. January is a dark month, even if in Yule the light won over darkness and days are becoming longer. Darkness and cold, but specially damp weather make me feel lethargic and sad. I don’t talk too much about Ayurveda or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in here, although it’s a big passion of mine studying both. In Ayurveda, we…

New Year’s Resolutions. Happy 2023.

The year is coming to an end and all of us are probably with the New Year’s resolutions hype. I met the flu the other day, so my goal-setting ability is hibernating right now. I feel tired and deeply unmotivated. Let me explain. I am always working on different projects. I am a project person. And even though these days I’m trying to keep up with work, I find that my body hasn’t healed as fast as it seemed. I…

On individualism, celebrating, Christmas and cultural appropiration.

On individualism, celebrating, Christmas and cultural appropiration.

In this post I’m going to dive a little deeper in topics that I’ve been reflecting for a while like individualism, celebrating and cultural appropriation. December is here and the only thing I can focus on is The Christmas Season. It’s everywhere. You know I’m all in for sustainability and don’t enjoy consumerism too much, but Christmas is supposed to be celebrated. No matter your religion. You don’t necessarily have to celebrate a Christian Christmas or any other religious holiday…
