Tapas Time! Grab your saffron, smoked paprika and sherry vinegar and meet me in the kitchen!
My family and I think tapas is pretty much the best way to eat. In fact, I’m 135% sure that at the time you’re reading this, we’re enjoying plenty in Barcelona. Follow me on Instagram to see where we’re at and what we’re eating.
I’m taking a cooking class there too so, when I get home, I can rock every single one of these recipes. Many thanks to my food blogging friends for sharing their mouthwatering recipes here today.
As hard-core as I can be sometimes, there are a few instances here where authenticity gives way to deliciousness. Not many. But a few. I hope we can all consider this a minor infraction.

Tapas style is my favorite way to eat! I find enjoying several “small bites” gives me all the cravings desired without any guilt! ?
