Egg Chilaquiles with Black Beans

Chilaquiles with Black Beans and Eggs

Solta Island Day Trip from Split Croatia

Šolta is a Dalmatian island located a mere 9 nautical miles from Split, Croatia. It is a lesser chosen destination in comparison to more mainstream islands like Hvar and Brač.

Barbacoa is one of our favorite slow-cooked beef recipes – with a Mexican accent! Barbacoa is actually a dish that comes from the Caribbean, where the term “barbecue” originated.
