Veganitessen
Dear Sevilla, You rock. If there are any vegans visiting Sevilla, Veganitessen is in the Mercado del Arenal. Go. Vegan cupcake with blackberry frosting (cupcake mora). Que delicioso!
Ha llegado
After a loooong few flights I have finally arrived in Espana. My packed up eats along the way were perfection. The right amount (plus some extra stuff on reserve for throughout the trip) and totally satisfying. I’m now the baked oat cake fan club president btw. I hit the ground running and after finding my way to the designated meeting spot and locating my fam, we got right to sight seeing. Reunited and it feels so good! More later. For now, I’m enjoying Sevilla’s finest cuisine. 🙂
Packing for 24 hours and multiple layovers
The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people.

Of the 250 guests, 50 of us were from UCLA (99% of which were in the same frat and same sorority as the bride and groom). It was cute. Congrats guys! Kyle and I managed to take… Read more >
Pre-Spain tasks
This week is nurses appreciation week (hooray!) but unfortunately the breakfast potluck party on my unit was the day I left for vacay. Had I not just finished night shift I may have stuck around, but I was so tired and ready to start my two weeks on holiday, I didn’t care too much about free bagels. As soon as I gave report to the day shift nurse I was mentally checked out. I may as well have been in Spain on Thursday. Sad face. Next year I’m going to bring yummy vegan food to… Read more >
