One pan, big flavor. This warm-weather bowl came together with things I had on hand, but turned out so layered and satisfying I had to write it down. The beans carry all the flavor from searing the shrimp, the broth is rich but light, and the dressed arugula keeps things bright and punchy. Definitely going in the rotation.
I used to think leadership meant having the answer. But over time—through parenting, running a business, and watching one brilliant baseball coach reframe a moment—I’ve come to believe something else: asking the right question might be the most powerful move we can make. This post is about the shift from control to curiosity, and what happens when we lead with belief instead of certainty.
We’re using this summer to focus on real development — no games, just high-quality reps. This 2x/week indoor shortstop routine is helping my son build better glove work, footwork, and confidence heading into fall ball. If you’re looking for a simple, repeatable plan to sharpen your player’s infield skills, this might be a good place to start.
A look at the 8-week plan I’m using to teach my daughter to catch in 10U softball. We focus on short, consistent sessions that build confidence in receiving, blocking, footwork, and leadership. Includes a printable tracker and video links to follow along — even if you’re not a pro.
After a long row on a scorching day, I wanted something cool, fresh, and satisfying. This wrap—grilled pesto-yogurt chicken, roasted peppers, arugula, and our house herb ranch—was born from leftovers but turned into a go-to summer meal.
A love letter to four wildly different 80s movies—and what they still teach me about wonder, responsibility, growing up, and sharing joy with my kids.
Two roadside memorials near our home—one for a 13-year-old girl—have become quiet landmarks of love, loss, and the rituals that never stop. This is a reflection on parenting, grief, and what it means to keep showing up when the world has moved on.
The Mets are searching for answers, but Tyrone Taylor already is one. This is a defense of “glue guys”, quiet contributors, and why enough is more than enough when October baseball is the goal.
After a whirlwind family trip to Chicago—complete with Wrigley magic, Italian beef, and Vinny Capra Day™—we came home bloated, tired, and over it. One warm, silky bowl of angel hair pasta with butter, peas, pancetta, and crispy breadcrumbs was all it took to feel human again. A reminder that coming home doesn’t have to be fancy—just real.
On the last day of third grade, my daughter came home heartbroken — and reminded me just how deep a child’s heart can feel. A small story of grief, comfort, and boba tea.
I wasn’t trying to go full Jacques Pépin tonight. This Borlotti Bean & Farro Stoup is quick, filling, and hits the spot on busy nights.
A personal story about the woman who taught me to love food — and how lasagna, crepes, and a secret pan of bacon changed the way I cook forever.
