Spanish Paella Recipe | The Ultimate Paella Recipe

   Do you love seafood? Have you ever wanted to visit Spain, but are looking for a more efficient way to do it? I've got the perfect thing for you! It's my recipe for the ultimate Spanish Paella recipe! is a Valencian rice dish that has ancient roots but its modern form originated in the mid-19th century in the area around Albufera lagoon on the east coast of Spain adjacent to the city of Valencia .

Tabouleh (Tabouli Salad) Recipe

 It's time to talk "Tabouli!" Well, it's actually, pronounced:"TAH-BOOH-LEH," and it happens to be one of my favorite side dishes. It can be served as an appetizer, or side salad. It is also very healthy, since parsley is known to be a liver cleanser(after a night of drinking, it may even help off-set a hangover!).
