I’m happiest in the kitchen when I’m teaching or learning from other people! to when I went to Spain to learn all about Paella’s so I can speak authentically about how to make it!

Hello October!!! One of my favorite things to do in October is to teach our kids how to make pies! I love watching kids learn how to make pie dough. You can see the kids concentration and hard work pay off when their little pies come out the oven. It’s one of the best feelings in the world! Note to self; take more pics of the kids creations at the end even when you’re running out of time 😂
