Pot Roast

Pot Roast

Tay Eats

I fell for the Cyber Monday trap this year and bought myself a few things including a Dutch Oven! I have always wanted one and finally saw an affordable one that I liked and decided to treat myself. (Kitchen things are my weakness.) I used it the day after I received it and decided to make pot roast. It was a fairly easy to do. The only thing that’s hard is the patience it requires to cook through. Ingredients: -2lb beef chuck roast-2 tbsp oil-2 onions, halved-1 bulb garlic, peeled-1 bay leaf-3-4 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces-2 cups beef broth-2-3 sprigs fresh thyme-1-2 sprig fresh rosemary-freshly ground black pepper and flaky salt to taste-1 tsp tomato paste-1tsp chili flakes (optional)-fresh cilantro or parsley (for serving) Instructions: 1.

Shenandoah National Park

Outdoor Activities

Hello everyone! I am back after neglecting my blog for several months. It’s been a rough year for everyone and getting motivation to do things like this has been hard. I have been cooking a lot and did take some local trips which I’d like to share in the upcoming weeks/months. One of these trips was to Shenandoah National Park. It’s a great park to see in the fall. However, it is super crowded and lines to enter can be long. We managed to avoid that and ended up here the weekend after the peak foliage. Regardless, it was beautiful! This park runs along the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and has one main road that goes through it. This road is called the Skyline Drive. Once you enter, you can choose to stop at overlooks or hike the many trails around the route. Entrance We entered through Thornton Gap…

Day Trip Transportation Train from Cordoba Station to Seville Station. Once again, most of our site seeing here was done on foot with a couple of exceptions as we did not have enough time. Uber from the Seville station to Alcazar de Seville:~5 Euros Uber from Plaza de Espana to Setas de Seville : ~6.30 Euros Places Visited Real Alcazar de Sevilla When researching the Alcazar, I saw mixed reviews on buying tickets in advance. Some people said there weren’t lines during off seasons so I decided not to buy them. BIG MISTAKE! We waited in line for two hours!! So I would recommend whether you are going off season or peak season, just buy the tickets to be safe. After finally getting through, we were free to explore as long as we wanted. Also, fun fact for Game of Throme fans, you will know that this was the set…

Alhambra Granada Spain

Day Trip Transportation Train from Cordoba Station to Granada Station. Places Visited We arrived in Granada at 10 am and had until 6 pm to see the Alhambra and the Old Arab Quarter which were the two things I knew I HAD to see. Walk to Alhambra My mom and I decided that we would slowly walk to the Alhambra since our tickets for the Nasird Palaces were for 2 pm. This was a great idea because we got to walk through some cool streets and do some souvenir shopping. Alhambra Grounds Buy Tickets Here My main purpose in Granada was to see the famous Alhambra. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The photos you are about to see do not do justice! In person it is better than the photos I saw in my architecture classes! We arrived at the Alhambra at 1 pm and had an…

Cordoba, Spain

Europe

My mom and I stayed in Cordoba for 5 nights. We made this our central hub while visiting Andalusia to go see other cities that were on our itinerary. This was a smaller city which was perfect for us. We weren’t looking for a night life or anything, just a comfortable place to stay where it would be easy to get around. We loved this city and if I ever get a chance, I would definitely visit. Accommodations Airbnb 10 minutes from the famous Mezquita. It was a great location and the hosts were super nice. We accidentally broke a plate and they didn’t even charge us. This was the walk to and from our place, every day!! <3 Places Visited Patios Cordobeses One of the things Cordoba is famous for are these beautiful patios decorated with potted plants. Some of them, you have to pay to see but some…
