one family – some food – all the love
Finally, Not a Recipe This Week … And a return to travelling! Nope, this one is not about cooking, though there will be a mention or several about food. Instead, it’s an actual real-life account of our trip to Costa Rica this summer. We left our little virtual kitchen and like many people escaped the …
(Leek & Scallion Dumplings) “Never judge someone by the way he looks or a book by the way it’s covered;For inside those tattered pages, there’s a lot to be discovered” — Stephen Cosgrove Current events made this one seem a little tricky to find my words. No place is immune from turmoil – political, geographic, social and …
Getting right to the point. You cannot go to a French restaurant without seeing the timeless classic Coq Au Vin on the menu. And can you get some props for being so fancy and serving a dinner like this to your friends. The best part is it’s so much easier to make then most people …
How is it possible that there is only one week left to summer break? Last summer was a lot of sitting outside on the deck with no where to be. This summer, I think we have just stayed on the move, living out of suitcases – Florida, Costa Rica, South Carolina and Steamboat Springs. But …

School’s out for the summer. After all the snow days, school quarantines, online learning, summer is finally upon us. These last few years of being in Colorado, I am really getting into the idea of summer. Using ‘summer’ as a verb, is pretty much the best. Moving a little slower, living a little more relaxed, …
(Stuffed Peppers) I promise we have a scientifically, random selection process for the weekly country, yet, we keep finding ourselves in the Balkan region. And here we are now in Albania. The fourth Balkan country out of the total 17 countries we’ve experimented with to date. We’ve already covered Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Greece. Not …
We don’t actually call it quiche, because then the boys wouldn’t eat it. However, call it breakfast pie and apparently you get a legitimate household following. Making it sound more like dessert with a side of pancakes, has propelled it through the ranks as a Thomas household go-to dinner. As for Chris, he would eat …
Way back when ago, when we lived in Orlando, we had some pretty awesome neighbors. Then we got to keep them for almost ten years. Chris and I moved into our house as super young 20-something’s, just out of college with a brand new baby. David and Fatima and their two boys came to introduce …
