listen, i know everyone and their mother has been to portugal this summer — but for good reason!!
a great first trip for anyone who hasn’t been to europe before. friendly locals and a beautiful city.
love love love lentil soup. it’s so comforting and also keeps you feeling full and satisfied.
i’ve made minor tweaks to the recipe i linked:
- add 2 cloves of minced/pressed garlic after the onions and celery have sweat
- add 1 tsp each of turmeric powder and cumin powder
- use both the zest AND juice of the lemon
for the last few years I’ve booked off work for my birthday and treated myself to a me day. this consists of scheduling a massage or facial (truly the best), splurging on a nice lunch and dessert, and sometimes a movie!
