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 …
Chile: Chacarero (Steak Sandwich)
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 …
Morocco: Chicken Tagine and Olives
Mark the date, here we are at the middle of July. (Holy moly, why is summer going so fast?) I finally used the tagine I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS because we got Morocco! And boy, was I kind of nervous I would ruin this dinner. Aside from the new tools, we were using new ingredients – …
Summer Series II: Floribbean Mango Salsa
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 …
Summer Series: Part I – Teriyaki Steak
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, …
Albania: Speca te Mbushur
(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 …
A Quiche Recipe for Anytime
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 …
Ecuador: Ceviche
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 …
Indonesia: Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)
I didn’t let myself have the big Global Kidchen Facebook reveal to all my friends and family until I was able to be consistent in writing my posts. I was doing good. I’ve had something ready every Tuesday morning for the last couple months – didn’t know how to set the automatic timer – but …
Sri Lanka: Parippu (Lentil Curry)
Hey, Siri Lanka Each week a country name is drawn out of a cup – and in the whole wide world, we have found ourselves going back and forth a good amount between Asia and the Balkans. I promise it’s random. So, without further ado, we are back in Asia with a recipe from Sri …
