The Great Pyramids of Giza... THE PYRAMIDS!!! I wish I could go back in time and talk to my 3rd grade self, learning about these unbelievable structures... and say "just wait Michelle... one day you will be standing in front of them, you will TOUCH them, and you will ride camels around them!" HA! who would have thought?
And here we are.
To say we were excited was an understatement.
One of the major perks of living in Germany is not only the proximity to all of Europe/Africa but also, the amount of holidays we get. And for Easter, we got both the Friday and Monday off to make a perfect little 4 day weekend. We've learned never to waste a long weekend, because within those 4 days, you can experience the most amazing things in the world... and this time we really did.
Cairo, Egypt. Just two - 2 hour flights away (with a quick layover in Istanbul).
Only one year after packing up our lives in Boston, US to move to Nuremberg, Germany we have checked quite a bit off of our bucket list so far. Now if anyone knows us, they know that we LOVE trying new foods, new restaurants, new drinks, new food markets... can you see a trend here? So I thought the next best "Year in Review" post should be all about our favorite restaurants, bars and food markets.
As of February 16th 2016, we have hit our 1 year German-iversary! And with this big milestone, I am hoping to write a few blog posts reviewing some of our favorite moments. (favorite travel destinations, favorite restaurants, etc).
But for today, I'm going to start with some of our learning experiences.
In October my amazing family (minus Jeffrey, Kristen, Ryan and Talia) came to visit us in Europe. As they've only visited Italy in the past, they decided to do an extensive European tour (in just two weeks!). My parents started in London, then onto Amsterdam, Brussels, Brugges, and then ended their guided tour in Paris where the rest of us "kids" came to join.
Ok, here it is... this is the recipe for our absolute FAVORITE Kale salad. This became our go-to recipe during our months of "wedding prep" with paleo-healthy eating. We would make a big batch for dinner, and then pack some for us to take for lunch the next day. (that way we had no excuse to get tempted and eat badly). One of the amazing things about this salad (other than being SUPER healthy) is the fact that you can add whatever toppings you want and it will taste amazing!
