Welcome to Today’s Yum – Where Flavor, Health, and Joy Meet

the heart and hands behind Today’s Yum! My journey with food began with a simple yet profound realization: cooking isn’t just about creating meals—it’s about sharing experiences, culture, and love with those around us. For me, food is a language that transcends boundaries, connecting us through vibrant flavors from around the globe.

Hi there, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!
I’m so glad you’re here! This blog is a heartfelt blend of my biggest passions: food, travel, and family. For me, food is more than just nourishment—it’s a love language. Whether it’s crafting family recipes, meal-prepping for our busy weeks, or recreating dishes inspired by our travels, everything I make has one special ingredient: love.

As a two-time cancer survivor, I’ve come to deeply value the importance of clean, nourishing ingredients—not just in the meals I prepare, but in every corner of my life. Nutrition and thoughtful choices shape how I feed my family and even the cleaning products we use at home. I believe that what we put in and around our bodies matters, and I’m passionate about sharing ideas and tips that align with this philosophy.

At home, I’m all about simplifying life with meal prep and weekly traditions—think Taco Tuesdays and pasta nights. Our kitchen has been the backdrop to countless family memories, from teaching the kids how to cook to hosting lively holiday gatherings complete with my husband’s curated playlists (he’s a DJ at heart). I cherish passing down family recipes like my grandmother’s soda bread or our beloved pasta and sauce night, which now includes spaghetti squash for my husband and me!

When it comes to travel, our motto is to explore the world together—one meal, one adventure, and one memory at a time. We aim for at least one domestic and one international trip a year, exposing our kids to new cultures and cuisines. From savoring Ethiopian dishes in NYC to unforgettable meals in Venice, each trip deepens our appreciation for the world’s flavors.

Planning trips is a family affair: everyone chooses an experience or dish they’re excited about, packs their own bags (yes, even the little ones!), and dives into the adventure. Iceland and Italy hold a special place in our hearts, and we’ve got Egypt on our bucket list!

Through this blog, I hope to inspire you to embrace life’s messiness, whether that’s in the kitchen, on the road, or with your loved ones. I want you to feel empowered to create lasting memories with your family, no matter how small or grand the moment.

When I’m not cooking or traveling, you can find me roller skating to ‘90s hip hop, baking something delicious, or soaking in a classic old movie. Thanks for stopping by—I can’t wait to share this journey with you!
