ONE FAMILY. SOME FOOD. ALL THE LOVE.
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 …
Omg, I got myself an Ooni for Christmas. It has taken a hot minute to save all those accolade points from work to get this baby. Having this blog has been an excuse to build up quite the collection of miscellaneous appliances and tools over the years, like a spatzle maker and a tagine, but …
Serenity, Fall is here and so is soup season. Like today’s Cauliflower Soup – you know, potato soups ‘healthy’ and less carb-y best friend. I know Fall is here because there are decorative pumpkins that have been rolling around my living room floor waiting for their perfect placement by the mums. The bright colors of …
Summer screams Florida vacations, beaches and seafood. This Floribbean Mango Salsa recipe with Grilled Grouper is no exception. It’s perfect for a little summer soiree, mostly because it is just so pretty and colorful. We went back to our roots and spent some time in Florida this summer. We hadn’t been back in so long …
School’s out for the summer. After all the snow days, school quarantines, online learning, summer is finally upon us.

My Latin love affair continues, shhh… don’t tell my husband. Actually, it’s more of a love triangle – he was there, he took part. We made tamales right after a Latin-style feast and Tomatillo Salsa! We’ve never made them before, but personally, I think they turned out great. If we’re being honest, Jake did most …
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 …
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 …
Today is my virtual Friday, my favorite night of the week. I’m finally off work tomorrow and no one else in Team Thomas is. I’m just filled with all the mom hopes and dreams that go into thinking about such a glorious day- the kids in school and a husband at work. The reality is, …
