About Me

Hi!  I'm Samantha, a (very barely still) 20-something wannabe professional globe-trotter living in New England.  Despite my hatred for cold weather, snow and (gasp) baseball, I'm happy to make my home here with my husband, a very mischievous cat and our two kids dogs.



Don't mind him, he's in a 12-step program now



In our homes, as in many homes, the kitchen is the core.  It's where we unwind after a long day of work, where we reconnect, where we prepare meals together and talk, where we dream, plan, laugh and cry.  The only thing that we may enjoy more than spending time in the kitchen is traveling.  We are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel on a fairly frequent basis, and we take pains to squeeze as much as possible into our days while we're on vacation.  Taking in the culture of a foreign country is, of course, important, but for us vacation = food.  We have had so many amazing meals during our travels and when we're back at home on a freezing cold, gray, snowy day, there is something comforting in preparing a dish that brings you right back to the Mediterranean sunshine!

This blog is intended to be a place to document our trips and travels, and also to share with you the wonderful food we've experienced along the way.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you stick around!
