As we all try to keep up with our homebound hunger games feeding our gangs all day long, we know many of you are looking for a bit of a vacation from using your ovens. As much as we love cooking, we could use a break too! So we’ve rounded up some of our favourite No Cooking Required Family Recipes & food plates we hope
We hope you had a beautiful Easter/Passover weekend & found some joy amid the heaviness of the times. We missed loved ones dearly, but found some comfort in dusting off sacred family recipes from the vault – Dad Chef made Perogies from scratch using a recipe from is Ukrainian maternal side, and I tried my Papa’s Canascione (Easter Pies) recipe – an authentic food from
Exactly one year ago this week we were packing up our mariachi band and heading for a Mexican whirl in beautiful Playa Mujeres. We’re daydreaming of when international travel will be possible again, but until, we’re going to bring some cultured cooking to La Cucina and share some recipes from our favourite destinations with you over the coming weeks, like this easy, simple & delish
Soups are my favourite recipes to make in the best of times, and during these uncertain ones they’re a great way to ground and calm.

We found a pocket in the kids’ schedules and knew it was time to invest in our well-being & some much needed couple time to connect.

**This post was syndicated on Thrive Global (eek!)- “Hustle Culture is Out, Mindfulness is In for 2020 & Beyond”** I’ve thought a lot about whether to share this or not – it doesn’t quite fit the food & travel focus of our family + lifestyle blog, but there’s a significant self-discovery/wellness journey I’ve been walking (sometimes stumbling) along on behind the blogging scenes & the
We’re easing back into routine over here. Creeping instead of leaping into the new year.
