I'm going to Paris this weekend!✨ I wrote about what I hope I'll be able to do and see and eat in the 2 days I'm there in a post called Planning for Paris, up on the blog now. Have you ever been? Do you have any favorite food gems or tips for saving money? Plz let me know!! I have 48 hours to fill! . 📸: From a weekend spent in the Spanish Pyrenees, which included a 20-minute stint across the border in France (long story). You can tell it's Spain because of the ham in the window.👌🏼🐷💃🏻⛰

Breakfast in bed 😋 with strawberries, apricots, pan de higo (fig bread), and the butteriest, flakiest croissant I've had in a long time. Because I love spring and myself. 🌸

It's graduation season! I wrote a post about bread!??❤️🥖 (And college and idealism and my advice for anyone graduating soon). The blog also got a much-needed makeover which I'm v proud of. Check it out at dandeliongreens.blog! And happy Commencement to Smith class of 2018!🎓🎓🎓 . . . #Repost @hungryghostbread

I went to one of my favorite bakeries this afternoon for a snack.😇 Supan y Pan, right up the street from my apartment, specializes in Latin American pastries and I go there as often as I can because they're all insanely delicious. . Pan de yuca: originally from Colombia, this biscuit is a mixture of yuca starch, eggs, cheese, and butter. Once baked, it becomes a doughy ball of chewy and savory goodness (I had to get two...😬) . Look! At! All! The! Empanadas! I've tried almost all of them and they're so so good. I love how you can see all the regional variations of the empanada on display at this bakery. Though common throughout Latin America, the earliest form of the empanada came from Galicia in northwestern Spain. Empanadas in Spain are sheets of dough with the ingredients, most often tuna, spread on top. . Batido de guanábana! Have you ever had guanábana?? They're easily one of the best-tasting, most refreshing fruits I've ever had. I tried them for the first time when I studied abroad in the DR and ever since then I'm never not thinking about guanábana. I get this smoothie every time I come here.😋

I recently finished my post on the cooking class I took through Chefugee! I talk a bit about Madrid's response to the refugee crisis as well as the food we learned to make from our teacher, Wesal, a Syrian refugee. Check it out at dandeliongreens.blog!

Scenes from la Fiesta de San Isidro, celebrating the patron saint of Madrid with plenty of sangría, grilled meats, rosquillas (little donuts), y yo la tonta. 👻

Been abusing my sriracha privileges lately... why is it so hard to find spicy food here??? I've been forced to take drastic measures (i.e. 1000% added more after taking this pic). . Literally just garlicky and gingery green beans and carrots with fried eggs because I'm almost out of groceries. 🙃 Happy Friday!!!! If you need me I'll probably be napping because I'm apparently nocturnal now.💩

Just finished my post on the ~weird and wonderful~ things I ate in San Sebastián. Pig ears, "bathtub broth," and whatever tf kalimotxo is... give it a read!! 👍 Link below and in my bio. . https://dandeliongreens.blog/food-musings/ . 📸: Playa de la Concha!🐚

Spring in Madrid means lazy afternoons lounging by the pond in Retiro and terrazas in the shade enjoying a caña con limón and some of my favorite tapas: pimientos de Padrón and boquerones fritos.😋 Happy Sunday to all!
