Sevilla’s vegan dessert scene

Babycakes has competition!    I was quite pleased (understatement) when I discovered a vegan patisserie in Sevilla.    It kinda made my trip.  I was like a kid in a candy store (or a vegan in a vegan bakery).  See?!  Not only was it nearly impossible for me to contain my excitement, but I was having a really hard time choosing which treat to order!  I could barely narrow my selection down to two items.            In the end I got a blackberry cupcake and a chocolate muffin (for the road). … Read more >

Floating

I got to work the other day and my name wasn’t on the assignment sheet.  Since I had worked the day before, I was sure I didn’t get my schedule wrong.  Done that before.  Then I saw my name way down at the bottom of the page… Elise – float SOU SOU?  After asking a few different people I found out it stood for surgical observation unit (basically the PACU for more stable patients).  Ok, I thought.  Something new could be fun.  But where is the SOU?  Nobody had any idea! I finally found out… Read more >

Sweet and spicy salad

Sometimes I brainstorm for hours before a meal and still have no clue what I want.  And other times ingredients come together in my mind and suddenly – bam – I have a recipe that I need to make immediately.   Last Saturday, as I headed to the farmer’s market, both lunch and dinner were unplanned.  And within 10 minutes of strolling the Promenade I had each one envisioned crystal clear.  I seized the momentary genius.  I already showed you the vegan cheesy grits I made for dinner.  Lunch was the salad I’m about to… Read more >

Siesta-less

I slept in foreverrrrr on my second day in Spain.  It’s not surprising since my first day lasted nearly 38 hours.  My dad was the one who woke me up and it was almost noon when he did.  Noon!  Let’s get this show on the road! Yeah, act surprised.  Soymilk is hard impossible to come by in normal Spanish cafes.  Trust me, I asked.  Hence the Bux. After the late start to the day, our agenda was packed, just the way I like vacations to be.  Traveling with my family is awesome because we balance… Read more >
