When I left home for college, my family gave me a collection of recipes to take with me. It was a touching gift; each member handwrote their favorite recipes on pieces of paper and put them in protective sleeves. Each recipe reminded me of the person and the meals we’ve shared over the years. Whenever I’m craving a dish from my childhood, I go to that folder and cook something from it. It goes to show that the best gifts come from the heart. read more

Corey and I moved to Chicago from our native Florida last August. The adventurer in me loves the city—the restaurants and markets, the theatre, the art and culture—one could spend a lifetime here and never run out of places to explore! But there are times when I long for home and know part of my heart still resides in another state.

This has been especially true of late, as some family and friends have been going through rough times. Phone calls help bridge the distance, but nothing truly compares to being there in person. I’m going to Florida in less than a week, and I’m looking forward to it! I wish Corey could come along, but law school is demanding. In the meantime, I wanted to provide a tres leches cake recipe that I have fond memories of. May it bring joy to your day! read more
