One Summer Salad/Una Ensalada de Verano

So I'm looking in the fridge looking for something to eat but with warm temperatures I don't really want to cook, so a salad was my way to go.

-Ingredients-

Spinach

Cherries (about 6)

1 Apple

1 Avocado

Crushed Walnuts

I made this honey mustard dressing but since I really don't lie olive oil, I added a tiny bit of white wine vinegar. 

Pues buscando algo de comer en el refrigerador y al no querer cocinar por el fuerte calor que esta haciendo, escogí hacer una ensalada. 

-Ingredientes-

Espinaca 

Cerezas (Como 6)

1 Manzana

1 Aguacate

Almendras Machacadas

Hice un aderezo de miel y mostaza pero como no me gusta el aceite de aceituna, lo sustituí con un poquito de vinagre de vino blanco.

P.S. I will be writing my blogs in English and Spanish! Voy a escribir mi blog en Inglés y Español!

Recap

My turtle. I am seriously deciding to get him a new tank, now on to the research.

Saw one of my favorite bands ever! Not only are they awesome musicians but their music carries messages about love and the love for social justice. Las Cafeteras, check them out! 

A secret gem. I really like this picture :)

Will You Be Watching?

Mundial Brasil 2014 is here!!!!!!

So as you know the World Cup 2014 started yesterday! After four years we are here again tied to the tv and rooting for your team. Mine are Honduras and Costa Rica, since they are representing Central America this time. (Wave my little flags) lol

As we know, this World Cup has come with some protests, not that it's bad thing, because eventually what many Brazilians are fighting for are real necessities and demands by the people. I will be watching the World Cup but not because I don't agree with the movement that is going on, I will be watching because futbol is part of my culture and because I support the teams from Latino America and I still support the movement that is going on. From my point of view, I will watch the World Cup but much more consciously and critical of the FIFA. 

So despite all of this, will you be watching the event? 

Who's your team? 

Snack: Banana slices with Nutella and Almonds

So here is a simple yet satisfying snack you could do (and which kids will love!) 

The 'recipe' is pretty much self explanatory but here it goes:

-Ingredients-

1 Banana

Nutella 

Prepackaged crushed almonds

1. Peel banana and cut into [circular] slices however big you want them.

2. With a spoon get some Nutella, place some on top of the banana slices, and smooth it out. I didn't put much so it doesn't overpower the banana and watching with how much sugar you put in your body. 

3. Put some almonds for some crunchiness! yum! 

4. Enjoy!

Summer is unofficially here!

Temperature's are quickly rising here in Southern California and man oh man, are paletas coming in handy to cool off. I recently tried this Guayaba paleta and oh my, are they delicious! Not only do they taste like guayaba, but they have guayaba pieces in there! We got a winner! 

The White Bowl

So I have been keeping up with my goal to eat more homemade meals--I still eat out sometimes, but now I am eating much more vegetable and trying to eat every 3 hours. Snacking, snacking, snacking, and drinking much more water.  Well on Instagram I have started to public photos of some of the meals that i eat so you can check some out and I will soon start posting some recipes on here. I just want to make them better for you to enjoy :)
