FALL FAVORITES! ☕️ Spent the first full day of fall sipping on caramel lattes and hot chocolate! What’s your favorite fall bevy!? 🍃 🍫 🍂
TROPICAL TRIPLE BERRY SMOOTHIE! Looking for a filling breakfast solution that takes almost no time to make? We partnered with @thefeedfeed and @cascadianfarm to create this refreshing smoothie that takes no more than 5 minutes to make – seriously, we timed ourselves! Cascadian Farm’s frozen fruit packs help significantly eliminate prep time; we just popped in some frozen berries, a fresh banana and mango, almond milk and sugar free blueberry Greek yogurt into a blender and voila! We love Cascadian Farm, not only because it saves us time, but because it’s a brand with purpose: it partners with The Nature Conservancy to protect natural resources like wildlife habitat and groundwater to help farms become more resilient. How awesome! Find more recipes on @thefeedfeed: https://ff.recipes/CascadianFarmFrz #lovethefarmland #feedfeed #cascadianfarm
SUMMERTIME SWEETNESS! With summer winding down, we’re taking every opportunity to devour unique ice cream flavors! 📸 here is the Rainbow Cone! Surprisingly, our favorite flavors were in the middle: Palmer House ⚪️ and Pistachio 🟢! Drop you favorite ice cream shoppe below! 🌈 🍦
NO RAIN ON THIS PARADE! Weather can either make or break a vacation! On our last day in Croatia, Zagreb was experiencing intermittent showers. ☔️ Lucky for us, @thewestinzagreb had these handy umbrellas to borrow, that allowed us to continue sightseeing! We suggest always coming up with a Plan B to make the most out of your trips! 🌂 🇭🇷 😃
BLACK RISOTTO 🖤 Among the many new dishes we tried in Croatia, one of the most interesting was Black Risotto, made of cuttlefish, olive oil, garlic and squid ink! We were skeptical, having tried squid ink pasta in Venice several years back but were pleasantly surprised by the difference in taste - Black Risotto tasted fishy-er and more decadent with the addition of truffles! After every eat, we left our meal with black mouths and teeth!!! 😬 🍝 ⚫️
MEET US AT THE SQUARE! We toured this lovely main square in Zagreb while on a free walking tour. YES, FREE! It’s a tradition we’ve kept alive since when we lived/studied abroad! Walking tours are a great way to learn more about the city from a local’s perspective + meet tourists from around the world! 🚶🏽‍♀️ 🇭🇷 🚶🏽‍♂️
KOTOR CRAVINGS! 🤤 There is nothing quite like the taste of freshly caught fish, crisp produce and hand rolled pasta! 📸 here: Sea Bass, Octopus Salad and a simple pasta dish drenched in tomato sauce! 🐟🐙🍝
VENETIAN VIBES! 🛶 The streets of Split were littered with Italian inspired architecture! With every turn we were transported to another city in Italy. This view reminded us of the beautiful colored buildings lined along Venice’s Grand Canal! 🌇💫🇮🇹
PLITVICE LAKES NATIONAL PARK! 🏞 The pandemic inspired our pursuit of visiting as many national parks in the US as possible. Little did we know, this pursuit would go GLOBAL! When planning our trip to Croatia, we found Plitvice, the country’s largest national park with beautiful landscapes and majestic waterfalls! We made a day trip to the park, while in Zagreb, and loved the serenity and breath taking views! 🌊 🌳 🥾
CARRY OUT IN ZAGREB! Toward the end of our trip, we were craving a change in the food scene after having a week’s worth of delicious Croatian food! Lucky for us, both @soifusion and @gingersushizagreb offered Asian-inspired, carry out options! At Soi, don’t miss out on the Karaage Buns and Katsu Chicken. At Ginger Sushi, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Croatians have a killer fish IQ! (We recommend the TUNA!) 🍣 🍱 🍜
SUNKISSED IN VIS! 💋 Whenever possible, we try to incorporate a water element in our itinerary, to see the country we’re visiting from a different perspective. From Split, we opted into a Blue Cave + 5 Island excursion that allowed us to experience the Adriatic Sea in a way we had never before! Jet lag has us missing the boat life! 🏝🚤 🌊
NOT HVAR FROM HEAVEN! We instantly fell in love with the island of Hvar during a day trip from Split. 🏝 This port and resort town sits squarely between a number of Dalmatian island and makes for the PERFECT getaway! 🌴 We would vacation here every summer if we could! 😎 🏊‍♀️ 🛥
