Meeting up in Madrid

May 15th. Slowly but surely I am getting through my Spain travels…here’s more from Madrid, starting up again right where I last left off. I woke up early(ish) to get beautified before meeting Alene at Starbucks.  It’s so much fun meeting up with friends when you are traveling.  I love my family, obviously, but it’s especially great when both your family and  your friends want to travel together.  I’m a lucky girl – although to be honest, since Alene and I have been friends from age 4, it’s almost more accurate to call her family. … Read more >

Nu for you (giveaway)

Believe it.  It’s giveaway time!! I’m a NuNaturals stevia mega fan.  It’s one of the tastiest sweeteners that also happens to be calorie free and easy on my GI tract (there are always extra packets in my purse for those just-in-case coffee moments). And so I felt like I should pass on the love.  After all, I use NuNatural products CONSTANTLY. I go through bottles of the vanilla liquid stevia, in my baking (see here or here), in my smoothies, in my coffee, in my desserts, and in my breakfast oats (just to name a… Read more >

Almond Curry Sautee

Oops!  I nearly deleted these pics before I realized I never shared the recipe with you guys!  Sorry for this long overdue post from a meal that I made two weeks ago. I always forget to use almond butter in savory meals because for some weird reason I associate it with sweet dishes.  Probably because I prefer sweet dishes.  Especially in my morning oats, which is when I most frequently reach for nut butters in general. Not this time! My parents were out for the evening (because they have a better social life than I… Read more >

Veg in Sevilla

Maybe you’ve already read my Sevilla recaps (maybe you haven’t), but in any case, I thought I would compile all my research on the vegetarian options in Sevilla that I did prior to traveling there.  So to those looking for veg-friendly options, here are a few places worth checking out.  Enjoy! Restaurante Almanara – Alameda de Hércules, 85, 41002 Sevilla They have authentic Spanish cuisine in a classy setting, with options from soups & salads, to soy meatballs and seitan.  La Huelva Ocho – C/ Huelva, 8, 41004 Seville Live flamenco with drinks and tapas… Read more >

Beach priorities

  Last Friday I skipped my planned run to go to the beach.  It wasn’t really set in stone anyway…when I say “planned run”, what I mean is, “exercise session I got dressed for but then immediately changed out of.”  I’m not one of those people who pre-sets the week’s fitness plan each Sunday night.  Yes, I usually do something each day of the week, but I pretty much figure it out that day, depending how I feel in the moment.  I work 3 days a week, so on those days I stick to AM… Read more >
