Mac and Cheese in Barcelona, Spain

I made macaroni and cheese in Barcelona…

Making macaroni and cheese in my Barcelona apartment.

Sometimes when traveling you crave foods from home. And what do I crave when I’m away from home? Macaroni and cheese.

Since I was staying in an AirBNB and had access to a full kitchen, I decided to make macaroni and cheese with the finest cheddar Barcelona had to offer. It was actually pretty awful cheese (maybe I should have substituted something local instead…) but the macaroni really hit the spot all the same.

I used Tyler Florence’s Ultimate Mac And Cheese recipe, which is what I use every time I want to make the cheesy noodles (I had it before for a night of watching 24 with friends).

It’s always a good recipe and even more so when you’re so far from home.

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.
