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…
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…
Free time is overrated. Just kidding. Free time is the most valuable thing you can have. I’m going to tell you a secret. I love my job, but not all that comes with it. Here’s August playlist: The last couple of months I’ve been overworking, but I’ve still managed to get some me-time. These past few years I’ve learnt to prioritise me-time above all. I may not have as much as I want or should have, but it’s still a…
May has arrived. Here, in the north of Spain, we are having our usual weather. Raining day and night with no chance of sunny skies. Well, maybe not that much, but it’s been raining quite a bit. I like rainy weather, specially when I have to work for hours inside the studio. I’m sure your are thanking the weather too if it’s raining now with the hope that it will be sunny once the quarantine ends, am…
Hey! How’s your April going. Mine has become a hectic month. I’m getting ready to record a music video, while we are quarantined. Which means there’s only two people doing the job of a whole team. Which means: Stress levels going up. But I must say, I’ve been training for this kind of situations. Not quarantines. Working more than I should has always been one of my traits, but what I’ve been training for has been staying chill…
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,…
I know it’s December already. I’ve guessed you are saturated with all the Christmas recipes and desserts and gift guides. So I thought I may offer you something completely different. Because, you know, we eat every day, and Christmas it’s just a couple of weeks of celebrating. Why am I saying all this? Because I have a light, healthy and uncomplicated recipe for those days “in-between” the festivities. Just one thing, don’t worry if you can’t…
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 started growing vegetables in my garden this year. I’ve never had the green thumb, but lately I feel like I’m better at growing my own food. Maybe it’s because I really enjoy cooking it 🙂 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sílvia Fooding 🥑 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) In this video I uploaded to Youtube, you’ll see my first attempts on growing courgettes (aka zucchinis) Someone told me they are the easiest to grow, and…
Don’t you love how pretty colours are? I’ve always been fascinated by them. All of them. Since I was a little worm, I said my three favourite colours were blue, pink and yellow. Ain’t it funny how they are the only thing you need to create the rest of them? I’ve always been wise, even when I was ignorant of what primary colours were. Blue has always been an obsession in my life, though so whenever I have to choose…
