So here’s the deal. For the past week and a half, I’ve been hard at work, getting ready to bring this blog to you (and by that I mean spending obscene amounts of time at my favorite coffee shop). You know, writing recipes, playing with the videos, setting our FB page… all that fun stuff.
Wanna know where my sister Vicky has been for the past week and a half? Back home in Barcelona, on a “blog-business” trip. Yep, we figured we needed recent pictures to post and also to pick my mom’s brain for some more recipes. So she took one for the team, booked the trip and left. And took my 16 year old niece with her. Does that sound like an all girl shopping trip to you?? I think so!!
Ten days of sunny, 60 degree weather. Ten days of relaxation. Ten days of my mom’s cooking. Business shmissness... It’s ok though. They both deserve it. I just had to pick on Vicky a little bit. After all, isn't that what little sisters are for?
And I bet you anything I can guess what my mom had ready for them when they got back from the airport…

I am excited to have the lentil soup today! it is simmering now.. This is exactly what I wanted, and I believed it must be possible to make a great red/yellow lentil soup with just the garlic lemon and cilantro...but all the other recipes out there were cumin heavy and canned broths and so on... simplicity is the best...I cant wait to share this with my vegan friends. thank you
