We spent our most recent family vacation traveling around the most astonishing and breathtaking place that I’ve ever seen – Iceland. We love to find local food on our trips, so we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorites from the Land of Fire & Ice.
While this recipe has several components, these tostadas are simple and easy to make —no fuss, no frills – just fresh, Mexican flavors sure to please even the most serious carnivores. A crisp corn tostada gets a layer of warm, lightly seasoned black beans, a scoop of fresh pico de gallo, a quick cilantro‑lime slaw for brightness, a sprinkle of queso fresco, and slices of hard‑boiled egg. It’s the kind of meal you can throw together on a weeknight when you want something fresh and satisfying or it is a crowd-pleaser for casual get-togethers.
Traveling is an important part of my life. My parents instilled in me the love of the open road and the desire to see new places at an early age.  It enables me to learn more about other people and cultures, explore international foods, and see new landscapes while gaining a little more education of the world each time. Through the years, I have learned how to take trips on a budget since I don’t have a ton of of expendable resources. I have made it a priority of mine to figure out how to travel abroad for a fraction of the price and I am passing along a few of my tricks to help you realize your dream of traveling to far off places, too!
