P is for paella 🥘 Although this is at the famous San Miguel Market in Madrid, paella is originally from Valencia. This was a seafood version with squid ink to make this traditional Spanish dish black. My father always made amazing paella, to be fair it was more 'arroz con pollo'. I have fond fond memories of this dish. (at Mercado San Miguel Madrid) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLe0NTAUcp/?igshid=12rv27gpbx2q9
N is for Pastel de NATA Know to must of us as Portuguese custards or tarts, I first tasted these while living on the Plateau in downtown Montréal when I was attending g McGill. Fast forward 30 years and I visited Lisbon to taste the world famous Pastéis de Belém. Truly the most delicious that we tried... and we tried many. A year later we find ourselves at home with only dreams of returning to Portugal 🇵🇹. We were invited to take an online course on making these delectable treats. That's exactly what @lauren_patii did last year. She took the course while I encouraged her along and took pictures. We had the best time (although very intendive). I would recommend taking a class with @pastelariabatalha_lisboa . They teach students all over the world and it was reasonably prices and really fun. #ABCsOfFood #foodie #online #cookingclass #Portugal #gastrotourism #pastries #sweets #chef #yumyum #nomnom # (at Pastelaria Batalha - Lisboa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM_QoOtAZf1/?igshid=kid2kbtkb90t
M is for Muffuletta If you are looking for history, a great story and a spectacular Muffuletta sandwich, make a stop at @napoleonhousenola in the heart of the French Quarter. Their Muffuletta starts with a sesame-encrusted Italian loaf, stacks of home-smoked meats, cheese and an olive salad (think jardiniere). It is heated to intensify the flavours It is a sandwich to die for. If you visit Napolean House you'll need to start with a Pimm’s Cup. Executive Chef, Chris Montero, was proud to provide the full and colourful history of this iconic restaurant and told us why a Pimms Cup is Napolean House signature cocktail. Established in 1914 by the Impastato family menu has some of the most well-known dishes in New Orleans. Don’t miss the Shrimp Remoulade Stuffed Avocado, classic poh-boy, Jambalaya or for the vegetarian, there are Red Beans & Rice. Save room for dessert and some Classic Bread Pudding (at Napoleon House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM4cQ5NAlUH/?igshid=ge4w2t8tqxz6

8 Unconventional Scandinavian Dramas on Netflix to watch when you want to travel
Scandinavian I continue with the series on how to travel with Netflix. I’ve covered English language and Latin based language versions. It’s time to bring all the great shows from Scandinavia. I am not quite sure why I am obsessed with Scandinavian drama and comedy series but I think they are the best entertainment made today. Maybe it began after reading “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”…

It was time to find room makeover ideas in 2021 which take you…

What to watch on Netflix when you're stuck at home but want to travel - Spanish & French Language Dramas
What to watch on Netflix when you're stuck at home but want to travel - My Favourite Spanish & French Language Dramas
Foreign Language Series on Netflix The beauty of being multilingual is that I am able to watch other shows and movies in the language they were written it. That is if those languages are French and Spanish – hehe. I muddle my way through Portuguese and my two-years of German does come in handy from time to time. Although I am watching shows in Danish and Finnish, these languages are beyond my…

Take the 31 Day Organizing Challenge - taking small steps to bring order to your life. This is Day 5 of

I love to keep these orderly and free of superfluous items. There is no reason to have foreign forks or spoons in your cutlery drawer nor is there any need to buy special gadgets for one task. We did…

31 Day Organizing Challenge - How to Get Organized, Fast! #OrganizingWithDPRO
Long before I was a travel blogger, I was a lifestyle blogger and I cut my blogging chops on providing organizing tips. I was a professional organizer for over 10 years. I loved to help people organized but if I was honest with myself, I loved to travel more. Even though the blog has changed over the years, my tag line still holds true – my goal is to have LESS STUFF and MORE TRAVEL. Purging and…

P is for Pena Palace Located in Sintra, Portugal this colourful palace sits atop a steep hill overlooking the city. This was a summer palace for the royal family after it was rebuilt in the 18th century. It is tricky to get here but well worth the narrow winding roads packed with pedestrians, tuk-tuk type of vehicles, buses and private cars making their way up. Once there, the line-up was very long but we were grateful that they gave priority to families with small children and seniors. It's worth it to pay to take the shuttle the last part of the way to the palace. This is one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal and a UNESCO World Heritage Site 🌎 (at Parque E Palácio Da Pena) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxmtU1AOl5/?igshid=4f6ceg29gx0h
