This week, I went “rogue” and decided to invent my own quinoa recipe. Packed full of some of my favorites – black beans, mango, green beans, bbq, feta and quinoa – this recipe is great when cooking for a group, or portioning into individual tupperware containers for workweek lunches.
I know what you’re thinking – BBQ sauce and feta? Sounds weird, but trust me…it works.
As an expat in London, one of the top questions I get from friends and family (and their friends and family many times removed) is what to see and do when coming to London. And, let’s be fair – I don’t blame them! Recommendations from people you trust are a huge advantage when traveling. With my family coming to London for 7 days, there was no better time to put my curated list of restaurants, hotels and attractions to the test. Check out my curated 7-day itinerary and let your travel planning begin!
Whether you’re a local or a tourist, I’ve created my ultimate London guide to share my favorite London travel guides, hotels, restaurants and other must-see attractions. I have lived in London since January 2015 and this guide will be updated periodically as I explore and review new places in London. The ‘London Guide’ lives on the top header bar of my blog, but can also be found here: https://thesavvybostonian.com/london-guide/.
Check it out and as always, I appreciate your recommendations for good places to try!
While London has no shortage of wonderful parks and gardens, Kensington Palace Gardens stands out for its uniqueness. From the Shrunken Garden, which was planted in 1908 to resemble a similar garden at Hampton Court Palace, to the whimsical Cradle Walk with its ivy covered arches, Kensington Palace Gardens makes for a great place to explore. Here are a few photos from my visit.
When I was a child, my mother could not get me to eat anything besides hot dogs and mac ‘n’ cheese. As an adult, my culinary preferences could not be more opposite. I crave healthier, whole foods and love tucking into a massive, satisfying salad. Inspired by the left overs in my fridge, here is a quick and easy salad that I whipped up recently over the weekend featuring kale, sweet potato, avocado and grilled chicken.
