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!

Allergy testing

I’ll recap the weekend’s lost time later, I just wanted to update everyone on how my “morning” went.  I use quotations because even the earliest MD appointments seem to go on forever and ever… Last month when I started my FODMAPS journey, I got referred to an allergist.  Yes, I already know I have sensitivities to certain foods, but I never really suspected true allergies were an issue.  Wouldn’t I have had more drastic symptoms (ie an anaphylactic response) by now?  [Yes]  Anyway.  In the name of due diligence (for my FODMAPS research), I went… Read more >

Lollihop giveaway

  If you’re picky you demand quality like I do, then you probably have a few snacks you like…that you don’t typically stray from.  I feel ya.  I like to eat real food, so fruit and/or veggies are what I often reach for between meals.  But sometimes I want something different.  Something new and fun.  And in those times, it’s great to have a monthly service that sends you specialized packages.   Lollihop asks you a series of questions when you sign up – about your diet, your activity level, your lifestyle, etc. – and… Read more >
