Safety for ALL on Hopkins

Hi, I’m Pasqualina, chef, author, and storyteller with deep Italian roots. I share the kind of recipes that live in memory and have been passed down for generations. It’s the kind of Italian cooking I feel blessed to have grown up with - simple, meaningful, and always from the heart. Many are adapted to be gluten-free for my nephews, because everyone deserves a seat at the table. What I share here is rooted in tradition, stories I love to tell, and a deep love for my culture—through treasured family dishes and our yearly culinary and cultural trips to Italy, where we cook, eat, and connect like locals. This is my little corner of warmth, tradition, and togetherness.

I’m Keri. Bit by the travel bug on a choir tour of Europe in college, I knew I had to see more of the world! I have lived abroad three times (twice before kids and once with kids,) traveled to more than 30 countries, worked as a professional Cast Member at Walt Disney World Resort and for an educational travel company. Once my kids came, I knew I wanted to keep traveling as a family, to have experiences together and to show our kids the world. We started when our oldest was three months old and haven’t stopped. Traveling with kids is an adventure and I hope to inspire you to enjoy the journey. Whether you are looking for destination ideas, the best things to do when you get there, or top family travel tips, you’ve come to the right place. As a family travel expert, I am often quoted in national and international media outlets and I was a planDisney panelist in 2023 (all opinions are my own.)
