First of all, I will say there is SO MUCH to do in Buenos Aires, and if possible, I’d recommend spending a week here. I was in Buenos Aires for 5 days, and I felt like I could have explored for much longer! I’ll also say that if you’re coming to Argentina, make sure to…

Food in Argentina

The food in Argentina is not the healthiest (lots of carbs and sweets), and there are not a lot of fresh fruits and veggies in the Argentinian diet. It’s not the easiest to navigate as a vegetarian when you’re eating at local restaurants (I was often given extra carbs instead of a vegetarian protein when…

Panama: Food and Travel

I recently did a yoga retreat to Panama in Santa Catalina, and in the process got to see a lot of beautiful places in the country! Here are some recommendations based on what I saw: Food: Maracuya EVERYTHING! Maracuya is the Spanish name for Passionfruit, and it is so fresh, and cheap here! You can…

Panama City Hotel Recs

Amarla– everything about this hotel screamed intimate and romantic, which was funny given that I stayed here with a friend. It’s a boutique hotel with small rooms, so if you like space, this may not be the hotel for you. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh cocktail with maracuya (passion…

Chipotle Salmon with Citrus Avocado Salsa and Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

Every part of this recipe is delicious on its own. However, the combination of the sweet and spicy chipotle salmon to the fresh citrus avocado salsa, to the creamy cilantro yogurt sauce elevates this dish to absolute perfection! I was inspired to make this recipe after seeing Ambitious Kitchen’s Chipotle Lime Salmon Taco recipe, but…

Blueberry Banana PB Smoothie

In grad school I worked at a smoothie shop for supplemental income, so I’d say that I’ve got pretty high standards when it comes to smoothies! This is my favorite one I’ve made (it’s filling, the consistency I like, and delicious) and is full of antioxidants from the blueberries (and extra nutrients from the hidden…

Paris Recommendations

Walking Nothing I like more than getting lost in the beautiful French roads and admiring the architecture and various city halls in the different districts! Paris is an incredibly walkable city, and I spent days wandering around from food spots to tourist sites! Public transit is also doable (I used google maps) if your feet…

Zucchini pasta sauce

Remember when zucchini pasta meant gross “noodles” made from zucchini? This version, which is real pasta made with a sauce made from zucchini, is much more delicious. Enjoy! Ingredients: •4 small or 2 medium sized zucchini•6 cloves garlic•1/4 cup pasta water•cooked pasta from a 1 lb box•1/4 cup olive oil plus 2 tbsp•1/2 cup basil…

Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Levain bakery style cookies from Olives n Thyme Tahini has definitely been an acquired taste for me, and even though I do like it now, I’ve not always succeeded in using it in sweets recipes. One of these successful recipes were incredible S’mores tahini cookie bars (also from Olives n Thyme), so I knew I…
