A really interesting dessert/breakfast food that we tried while in Bali was Black Rice Pudding. It was sweet and made with coconut milk which I absolutely loved! This dish really reminded me of oatmeal, so for all of you oatmeal lovers out there, give this a try if you are feeling like switching up your everyday oatmeal routine. Ingredients: 1 cup black rice 1/2 cup sugar 1 (13 1/2- to 15-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk Directions: Bring rice and 3 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a […] Continue reading →

Talk about a beautiful beach! We didn’t spend too long in Padang Padang since it was just a stop on our day trip through the southern part of Bali but boy was this beach beautiful. The southern part of the island where Padang Padang and Uluwatu are located is a very non-touristy area that has not been very built up.

I think it is so funny how they think we are pink, which I guess we kind of are compared to their […] Continue reading →

Mike and I woke up pretty early on our first full day in Seminyak since it was our only full day on that part of the island. We wound up only doing two half days and one full day in Seminyak since there was so much more of Bali that we wanted to see. As far as I am concerned if you are not out the door and heading towards the beach by 9:30 you are some of the best hours to spend at the beach. I love getting to the beach early before too many people have had a [...] […] Continue reading →

After we checked into our Villa in Seminyak and enjoyed a nice swim in our private pool we set off to find the beach for sunset. The walk wound up being a little bit longer then we had anticipated but it was nice to check out the city as we made our way to the beach. When we got to the beach the first thing we noticed was a woman laying down offerings in worship. In Seminyak a lot of the people actually worship on the beach so there were sections of it which where sunbathing was actually […] Continue reading →
