A Taste of Home: Introducing the Backyard Hangout Roast

We worked closely together to craft the perfect blend using premium beans from my home country of Brazil.

Every cup features smooth notes of milk chocolate and peanut brittle—it’s the exact flavor profile I want in my hand while hanging out in the backyard.

Why do we do what we do?

The question I get asked over and over is: “Why don’t you charge for this? Why do you put so much work into the community for free?” My answer is simple: this directory is my gift back to the community I love so much. This is a labor of love, born from a desire to be a blessing to others, just as I have been blessed by God.

The Bible calls us to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This is my way of living out that call—of leading by example, helping others, and showing God’s love to all my brothers and sisters.

This is my attempt each day to follow my God’s command as per the bible: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10

Finding a New Family at La Familia – Naples

For months, I’ve been following the journey of a new restaurant, La Familia, right here in SWFL.

Molto Trattoria

Saturday tends to be the day we go out as a family to enjoy a nice meal. As we have two young kids, it tends to be easier for us to have lunch over dinner. Lately, we have been trying next places on the weekends, as there are so many options in Naples that we […]

Jimmy P’s Burgers & More

Moke Naples

The family and I were invited to try out the Moke, the newest way of getting around Naples! But what exactly is a Moke? The Moke began as a military invention for the British army in the late 1950s. It was created by the British Motor Company and Alec Issigonis, the father of the original […]

Legends B&G Sports Bar

It’s Spring Break, my daughter is away from her school computer and looking for fun things to do. It is also St. Patrick’s Day, a day that many (mainly those without young kids) go out to drinks. I decided to take a long lunch from work and take the family out and achieve both: entertain […]

A Culinary Pilgrimage Pays Off: JUN Korean & Sushi is Fort Myers was worth the visit!

The quest for truly exceptional Korean cuisine often requires dedication, and last Friday, that dedication led me on a southbound pilgrimage from Naples to Fort Myers. While my global travels have introduced me to Korea’s culinary gifts—primarily the sizzle of Korean BBQ—I’ve yet to find a South Florida spot that transcends the familiar. Until now. […]

Cafe Brazil Restaurant

We tend to go out to eat after church on Sundays and today I was missing my family and eating some delicious Brazilian food, so I drove to Fort Myers for some homey and tasty food that makes me feel as close to home as possible at Cafe Brazil Restaurant in Fort Myers. I got […]

Keewaydin’s on Fifth

The family and I love to try new places to eat and this past Saturday, we tried out the recently opened Keewaydin’s right on Fifth Avenue. This modern island fusion cuisine is an awesome choice on Fifth Avenue and great for families as well. We went for a late lunch on Saturday and we were […]

Malinche Mexican Cuisine

Yesterday I visited my barber Louie from Louie’s Haircut & Shave Shop and in conversation, he asked me if I had ever tried Malinche Mexican Cuisine in Bonita Springs.
