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 …
Ooni Pizza, Attempt #1
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 …

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 …
