This recipe is the perfect mix of fresh, sweet, an This recipe is the perfect mix of fresh, sweet, and tangy flavors, thanks to the lemon blueberry marmalade and the light, creamy mascarpone coconut cream. 🍋🫐 ⁠ ⁠ The crêpes are delicate, golden, and slightly crispy around the edges. ⁠ ⁠ Here’s how you can recreate this delicious dish at home:⁠ ⁠ Ingredients:⁠ ⁠ Lemon Blueberry Marmalade: lemons, blueberries, water, and sugar⁠ Crêpes: eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt⁠ Mascarpone Coconut Cream: mascarpone, coconut cream, vanilla, and salt⁠ ⁠ The result?

Before I get to cooking, I’m gathering some insp Before I get to cooking, I’m gathering some inspiration and ingredients. I start at a farmers’ market in Denver, where I find the most beautiful local honey—the perfect sweet touch for my crêpes. ⁠ ⁠ Then, I make a quick stop at a local grocery store for fresh blueberries, lemons, mascarpone cheese, and more. 🫐🍋 ⁠ ⁠ There’s something so rewarding about using fresh, local ingredients—it adds another layer of meaning to every dish I create.⁠ ⁠ With everything in hand, I’m ready to cook! I’m recreating Le French’s Crêpe Suzette but with my own twist—swapping the traditional orange segments and mascarpone chantilly for a lemon blueberry marmalade and a mascarpone coconut cream filling. ⁠ ⁠ I can’t wait to see how these flavors come together!⁠ ⁠ #LocalBites #FarmToTable #CrepeSuzette #CookingInspiration #FreshIngredients #SupportLocal

I used to think every family moment needed to be p I used to think every family moment needed to be perfectly planned to feel special. But I’ve learned that the best memories happen when we let go of the plans, take unexpected paths, and embrace the present.⁠ ⁠ Today in Morrison, CO, we wandered off the beaten path and found ourselves enjoying the calm and stillness around us. It was a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones we never planned at all. 🥰⁠ ⁠ #FamilyAdventures #MorrisonCO #OffTheBeatenPath #WanderTogether #UnplannedMagic #ExploreMore
Join us for a day of exploring Falls Church, VA! ⁠ ⁠ After living abroad, it’s fun to dive back into U.S. life by visiting local spots, checking out a classic American grocery store, and indulging in one of the most hyped-up treats—Crumbl Cookies! 🍪⁠ ⁠ Come along for the adventure and see what makes these simple moments special.⁠ ⁠ Have you tried Crumbl yet?

Feeling incredibly grateful for the journey we’r Feeling incredibly grateful for the journey we’re on as a family and all the memories we’re making together ❤️⁠ ⁠ It’s wild to think that it all began with a simple conversation in college. Gozie casually mentioned one day that he would show me the world—and honestly, I didn’t think much of it at the time. But here we are, years later, living out that dream in the most beautiful way possible.⁠ ⁠ Fast-forward to today: We’re a family of three, and our little one has already seen and experienced more than many do in a lifetime —and it’s just the beginning. We’re excited to continue giving him new experiences, new adventures, and new opportunities to learn about the world around him. 🌍⁠ ⁠ What I’ve realized is that it’s not just about the places we go, but the people we become along the way. Travel has shaped us, deepened our bond as a family, and constantly reminds us of how small yet connected the world really is.⁠ ⁠ Whether you’re traveling across the globe or spending a weekend exploring your local spots, the memories you make with your loved ones are priceless. It’s not about the destination but the shared experiences, and I can’t wait to continue sharing ours with you! ✨⁠ ⁠ #FamilyAdventures #TravelWithKids #MakingMemories #LoveAndTravel #GratefulHeart
When life gets busy, and transitions take over, so When life gets busy, and transitions take over, sometimes you just have to get creative with your routines. For all the parents out there, you know that sometimes the only way to fit in a workout is to include your little one. It’s so important to hold onto the things that keep us grounded, especially during times of change. And while things may not look exactly how we’d like them to, making time for what helps us stay mentally and physically well is essential. It might mean doing squats with a toddler on your hip or stretching with toys scattered around, but it’s still worth it. Remember, progress doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Whether it’s a quick workout or a walk with your little one in tow, you’re still showing up for yourself. How do you stay grounded when life gets hectic? Let me know in the comments below! #ParentLife #WellnessJourney #FitnessWithKids #ProgressOverPerfection #SelfCareIsImportant #ParentingAndFitness #FindingBalance
It’s been such an emotional but fulfilling journ It’s been such an emotional but fulfilling journey closing out our chapter in Ecuador. 🇪🇨⁠ ⁠ The last video on my channel was all about how we packed up our lives and prepared for our next big adventure. ⁠ ⁠ While I’m excited for what’s to come, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible experiences we’ve had here, from the breathtaking views to the heartwarming connections we’ve made (friends, you know who you are ❤️).⁠ ⁠ Here are a few favorites from our last few weeks in Ecuador: ⁠ 1. I cooked a lot and truly grew to love it even more than I did in the past. ⁠ 2. My little one and I walked almost every day. It was the best outlet for his energy and my mental health. ⁠ 3. My two loves ❤️⁠ 4. I was so proud of this meal. I used the grill and everything! ⁠ 5. Another beautiful view of Ecuador we were lucky to witness. ⁠ 6. Gideon also cooked a lot with me! I think we have a budding chef! 7. On another walk, trying to capture the view. ⁠ 8. Check out my latest YouTube video to see how we prepared and packed for our move. ⁠ ⁠ You can expect more insights into our favorite travel destinations, restaurant recommendations, and some personal highlights before we move on to our next destination (which I can’t wait to reveal soon!).⁠ ⁠ Stay tuned here and on YouTube for the upcoming videos, where I’ll be sharing everything we’ve loved about Ecuador and how we prepared to move. ⁠ ⁠ Have you made a significant life change recently? Let me know about it in the comments below, or DM me so we can chat.⁠ ⁠ #GoodbyeEcuador #ExpatLife #TravelDiaries #FamilyAdventures #EcuadorFavorites #NextAdventure #TravelWithKids
