Who needs a portable stove if you can cook something in using natural heat? My family and I traveled to a lot of places this summer, but it certainly didn’t feel like summer in Iceland. Though the sun never set, we had the time of our lives snowmobiling on a glacier, exploring ice caves, ziplining,…

Sauce’in it up
The one thing I always look for before starting a meal is some sort of sauce. Whether that’s mustard to go on a sandwich, or dressing on a salad, I’m all about the sauce. On our Japan trip this summer, we tried a ton of different foods. I noticed that in many dishes, the sauce,…
Vegan Eats!
You sure don’t need animal products to make a lunch taste amazing! Like our rice farm visit, another activity we couldn’t miss out on was the traditional vegan monk lunch experience. Set in Kyoto, the small restaurant would completely take us by surprise. After a morning of visiting temples and small shops, we settled in…
Rice: Farm to plate
In Japan, rice is definitely a staple food. It fits well with so many other items and often is the thing that glues a meal together. Take Japanese shabu shabu, for example. In almost every situation, you’ll be eating your pot of meat, vegetables, and broth with a bowl of rice. Because Japanese cuisine has…

I’m back! Over the course of my school Spring Break, I visited Cuba with my family and had an amazing experience,…
Eating Ethiopian Style
Before I begin, happy New Year! I hope that everyone had an amazing (and food filled) experience celebrating the various holidays that come about this time of the year. It’s been quite a while since I started this blog back in 2015 or so, and I want to say thank you to all of my…
Macaron Madness
What would a trip to France be without the eating of at least one macaron? I don’t know, but I can tell you that these special little treats are quite something. A macaron is a delicate circle shaped dessert with a sweet filling and two almond flavored ends (a really high end version…
The Thing About Bread…
IMPORTANT NOTE: I AM BACK! … from France and Switzerland. In the midst of my fun vacation, I guess I can say that my blog kind of slipped. To make up for 2-3 missed posts, I’m going to be rapidly writing a barrage of posts these coming days, because yes, there was a lot of…
We’re Going To Eat A Lot of Toblerone…
Sadly, this post isn’t going to be about that sweet, delicious chocolate. Instead, I’m going write about the country this candy originated, because yes, when we go there in the summer, it’ll be a area filled with foodie surprises and, well you know, Toblerone. From what I’ve heard, Swiss cuisine is more of a simple…
