one family – some food – all the love
So, another Christmas has now come and gone. I ate all the rich dinners (and subsequent buttery leftovers), all varietals of cookies and all the festive, merry drinks. And now, it’s that time of year when we all strive to get back on track. At least for the next two weeks. I even did yoga …
We’re back to shortened days and cozy one-pot meals. This one might be the king. Chicken Paprikash has been one of my favorites since childhood. And to this day, it is still one of those meals that is way, way up there. (I made Chicken Fricasse last week for dinner, stiff competition.) Also to this …
Chris hosts an annual low country boil. While itself is a tradition, there is no traditional date, group, or much a plan other than crabs and shrimp. He has been doing this for years though even before we moved to South Carolina. This started when we lived in Winter Garden. Since Florida is still warm …
Holy Moly! It was May of a different year, when we pulled Ethiopia and I started this post. But every May is about the same, and this gist is still relevant. All the school things, all the sports things, all the club things and all the end of year celebrations. Gifts to buy, camps to …
Last year, we were in Tybee Island/Savannah, Georgia – one of the biggest St. Paddy’s Day celebrations in the country – and I didn’t even have a green shirt to wear. In walking the dog, Chris has pointed out every single house that has decorated for the holiday. I have approximately zero things to decorate …
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner! Jake loves hummus. Jake loves making hummus. He loves to double his batch to have it all week long. I should do a post of his recipe. And now, Sudan’s Ful Medames might just be hummus’s cousin we never knew about. I find it funny that in the whole wide world …
The grass is turning mostly green and the flowers are starting to sprout from the earth again. It is such a reprieve to see some life coming back to the outside world, and I love the idea of planning out the yearly garden. Normally, we plan a trip back to Florida for Spring Break because …
Summer vacation is quickly approaching, and the world is on fire to pack their bags and travel. Myself way included. When Chris and I first got married, we promised ourselves an international vacation at least every other year. And very quickly, the reality of adulting caught up with us and the rose colored glasses we …
Ancient History and YouTuber Fusion – There was minimal Google searching this time because apparently Jake knows an assortment of Egyptian dishes. In particular, my mouth dropped to the floor when Jake was not only describing and listing the ingredients but also what it was supposed to look like down to the fried onions on …
There is a little known fact about my husband. I didn’t even know it for probably half of our marriage. Bucket list item number one (or at least top 5) is to go to the Kentucky Derby. Not the Super Bowl, not conquering Everest, but putting on some fine linens and sipping Mint Juleps at …
