Ready to celebrate Midsommar? C’mon! You have plenty of excuses for not doing things that cheer you up, it’s time you celebrate Summer and give yourself the time to tune in with nature and its cycles. Today I bring you the excuseless recipe 😂 It’s so easy and quick to do that I only took two photos in order to keep this post simple. If you read this today, you could have this salad made in 20 minutes. That’s it!…
We still have a couple of days until we celebrate Midsommar. Tomorrow is the Solstice, and I wanted to post a recipe for the occasion. You can make it in 15 minutes, so there’s no excuses for this one 🤗 This sandwiches can’t be simpler. There’s only a few ingredients for each recipe. It takes around 5 minutes each, 8 tops! I think I liked the prawn toast better than the salmon, but only because of…
I don’t remember when was the first time I heard about Cinco de Mayo. But as soon as I did, I made it a tradition at home. I’m pretty sure it’s been more than a decade, and every year I make at least one Mexican dish to celebrate the country. As I do with everything I celebrate, it loses a bot of the meaning in my case, but I guess there’s no harm in celebrating each and every…
Before I start, let’s get in the mood. Click play on the playlist below so you can read this with background music that gets you on your Irish attitude. Ireland feels like a second home to me. I have a deep connection with some places in the world. There’s this strange connection with France, for instance. I feel like I need to be near that country, if not in that country. Since the first time I visited Paris, I told…
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…
It’s April, at last. Time seems to move slower these days, am I right? I’ve made a playlist for the month, but as most of you are staying home, maybe only one is too short. What do you do while you listen to playlists? Tell me the activity you usually do when you listen to music and I can make a personalized playlist especially for the quarantine. I usually work on light stuff while I listen,…
Whenever I’m lazy for breakfast I think…Avocado Toast. The same happens at lunch and…guess what’s for dinner? I usually have a meal plan for the week, but if everything goes wrong…Avocado Toast. I’ve made so many different versions of the so-called Avocado Toast that I just go with the flow. Lately I’ve been doing this recipe, but who knows what tomorrow brings. I’ve started calling them avotoasts. So, from now on, avotoasts it is. The base is always the same…half…
I love this dessert. The good thing about it is that it is so energetic and so healthy that it makes a perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, dessert after lunch…you name it! The base is simple: bananas, peanut butter and cacao nibs. That’s it…the rest is up to your imagination. A couple of weeks ago, Lucía (a friend) and I decided that the best way to keep in touch was to meet for breakfast on Sundays. And I must say, we…
You know, when people eat meat they usually go to meat when they feel lazy to cook. Anything easier than throwing a steak on a pan and cook it for a couple of minutes? When people go vegan, they go for the easiest substitutes like veggie patties or seitan steaks. They are usually highly processed foods, so that’s a no-no for me. When people go plant-based and want to follow a healthy lifestyle, they go for tofu or tempeh,…
My mum used to make a zucchini soup recipe that I loved. I still do, so I cook it that way almost every time I make zucchini soup. But this time I really wanted to do a different zucchini soup. Because, you all know that feeling of realizing you’ve been making the same stuff over and over again. Although you like making the same things, you also crave that feeling of going out of the habit and doing something different….
