Bacalhau à Brás

This was perhaps my favourite dish while traveling through Portugal, and one of the first ones I wanted to learn how to make.  It's another simple dish, (aren't all the best dishes really simple after all?) made with shreds of salted cod, scrambled eggs, and potatoes.  While I was in Portugal I heard it being referred to as the ultimate Portuguese comfort food.  In any case, I loved it!

Spanish Tortilla

8/7/2015

I wrote in my last post about how I spent the past 5 weeks traveling (and ultimately eating) through Spain and Portugal.  I also mentioned that it would not be surprising to see some traditional Spanish and Portuguese recipes start to show up on this blog.  Well, as promised, here is the first one.
I saw this one everywhere in Spain.  It's a traditional tortilla (no, not the Mexican tortilla that we use here for wraps and burritos).  This is Spain's version of the omelette, and it is super simple to make.  It's found often at tapas bars, and makes a great snack.  I think it also happens to make a great breakfast too, which is exactly what I used it for here.

So I know it's been a while since I've last posted...over 5 weeks to be exact.  But there's a good reason for that.  I was traveling through Portugal and Spain!  I had such a blast enjoying the gorgeous landscapes, beautiful weather, wonderful people...and of course...the amazing food!

Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of recipes over the next few weeks of some traditional Portuguese or Spanish dishes.  I

sampled a lot of them.  A lot!  And I also took a bunch of cooking classes so that I could learn how to make all of the wonderful food I got to eat.  It was such a fun experience and I can't wait to try out all of the recipes.

In the meantime, click the title of this post or the "read more" link to see some photos of just some of the amazing Portuguese and Spanish cuisine I enjoyed during my vacation.  Enjoy!

    About Me

    I started this blog after deciding to give up on fad diets, listening to “experts,” counting calories, measuring, logging, depriving, bingeing, and feeling guilty.  All of that only served to make me bigger, unhealthier, and unhappy.  I finally decided to keep it simple:  listen to my own body and eat real food.  I started cooking with ingredients as close to nature as possible and one year later I feel healthier and happier. I love food and I love cooking it.  This blog is an ongoing collection of my new and favorite recipes.  Some, I’ve made up, but most are inspired by what I see online.  Feel free to browse, follow, and leave a comment!  Thanks for reading!
