It’s finally here, Opening Ceremonies, and that can only mean one thing for The Olympic Food Tour. We are going to Korea! Going to Korea! We are going to Korea! Going to Korea! ?? (I have a little thing where I hum, sing, or create a tune when I am excited.) I wish I was going to […]

Bouillabaisse
Bouill-A-Baisse! Bouill-A-Baise! Bouil-A-Baisse! Play your game! Play your game! Play your game! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! I have been chanting that in my head for a few days, and it was necessary to share with you too. Next stop on The Olympic Food Tour – FRANCE! This year, France’s Winter Olympic Team has 107 members, the […]
Seafood Stock
Back on The Olympic Food Tour, and we can’t really stop in France without this recipe. Or Spain, or Korea, or Brazil, or, or, or. I know you get what I am saying. You may be asking, “Can’t I just buy this?” I mean, I am not standing over you saying, “No you can’t!” I […]
The Cuban
In today’s episode of The Olympic Food Tour, we travel to a place that strangely, oddly in my case because of this food journey I am taking you on, has never participated in the Winter Olympics. Country number two – CUBA! I modified this favorite because I made this on a week night, and slow […]
A Few Things I Love About the Olympics
Guess what? I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is…..THE OLYMPICS! (Cowbell, any other time.) The countdown to the 23rd Olympiad has begun. In celebration of what’s to come, we have watched Miracle a few times already. I have seen this movie at least 100 times, two scenes totally gut me. When Herb Brooks […]
Sunday Tuna Sandwich
Every Saturday when I climb into bed whether at 9:30pm or 3am (and yes, it happens, but boy do I pay for it) I think to myself, ‘tomorrow morning will be different.’ The joke is on me. How do 98% of our Sunday mornings go down? As you know, my kids are morning people, usually […]
Winter Table Scape
I am just going to say the unpopular thing. I love winter. Now, I will be the first to admit getting my kid dressed for basketball at 7:30 in the morning when it’s zero degrees leaves a little bit of winter to be desired. But. BUT. I dream of hot chocolate, warm fires, movie night, […]
On Marriage at Ten Years
Happy New Year! And Merry Last Day of Christmas! For those that have been following along on social media, you may have seen that Chef and I celebrated ten years of marriage this week. Wednesday, to be exact. Anniversaries in our house are often overlooked, a bit of an afterthought. It’s often the last day […]
Christmas Spirit Check In
Hi Friends – Wanted to check in on your Christmas Spirit with 14 days to the big day. It’s December 11th, and I know for many, myself included it feels like there isn’t enough time. Maybe there isn’t. No one but us are non the wiser, so I’m holding onto that and a little lesson […]
English Muffin Bread
Friends, like most people across the US, including the most unusual places such as San Antonio, Atlanta, and Tuscaloosa, we are having a snowy day. There is just something incredibly magical about snow, isn’t there? Today Mother Nature went easy on us, and I am so thankful. Snow + December Saturday = Disaster for Small […]
