ONE FAMILY. SOME FOOD. ALL THE LOVE.
A (Mental) Caribbean Vacation with a Real Caribbean Recipe If you’ll recall, on our last virtual vacation we were trying to stay warm with Latvian Potato Soup through the week of the Artic winter blast. Then we got a little sidetracked and celebrated the Lunar New Year. It’s still fuh-reezing outside (like 12 inches of …
Happy St. Paddy’s day! An Irish Recipe for an Irish Day! And here we are, skipping yet another country lottery in exchange for a celebration happening somewhere in the globe today. It’s St. Patrick’s day and we are planning an Irish recipe! We’ve got Guinness Braised Short Ribs. I’ve got to say, growing up this …
Guys, this was a dinner just to good not share. It definitely wasn’t in my menu for the week, and also definitely not the country we pulled for the week. No big story, just a recap of a standard dinner on a standard Tuesday night. Got a little funky and had Latin night – some …
Happy Lunar New Year We got a little off track this week and skipped around, but for good reason. In full transparency, we really pulled St. Vincent and the Grenadines this week. Never fear, it’s still on its way. This week was the Lunar New Year AND Mardi Gras though, so we took a quick …

I have been working from home now for what feels like an eternity. Don’t get me wrong, I dig it. I have been waiting for the day when its acceptable to wear pj’s to work. A big plus, no more afterschool care checks to write. Do I now teach math, science and social studies between …
You can call this family official wannabe ski bums. A few nights before a decent snowstorm moved into the mountains, we spontaneously booked some nights in Crested Butte, CO. (Spontaneity is how we most of our trips.) Fresh powder doesn’t hurt either. Not bad for a quick getaway over the New Years Week holiday. After …
I sent one kid back to school after the winter break. Kid 2 was going next week. I was going to have two whole days of peace, quiet, and no spilled milk. Notice I said ‘was’. Enter quarantine round 694 from school. Next week everyone will still be grinding through the school day right by …
This week we drew South Africa. Trusty Google searches for traditional South African meals popped up everywhere. Personally, I was pumped for Chakalaka and Pap, mostly because I need the saying ‘Boom! Shakalaka’ to make a comeback. The plethora of boys living in this house were more encouraged by Braai, South African barbeque, and the …
