>> so we're talking about trying to pay down debt. let's talk about that. >> when it comes to paying down debt, 40% of americans are in this boat so you're not alone. but the two key things you need the new year, try to pay it down as quickly as possible. find a buddy and use an app. you need a budget as a good one. sweep and mint.com. >> the accountability thing, aren't you either like that or you're not? you got into debt badly to begin with because of those kinds of habits. >> that's why i say do it fast because if you can really use the momentum, you can use -- you can make progress. >> what about impulse shopping? you walk buy and you want it. >> first of all, don't go by there. don't walk around. stay off the computer. >> we actually spend $200 on average per month on impulse shopping. >> oh, you're kidding. >> that adds up at the end of the year. >> stick to your list. if you commit to doing that, $2,400 itself that's enough to take a pretty nice vacation for two. >> or pay down some debt. >> if you happen to save some money what should we do with that? >> we really need to be investing. i know the stock market can be scary. people only need 10% of their income to go towards cash each month. you really want to put the rest towards your 401k. right now people have 20% or more in cash. that's quite a lot. it's not going to help you develop wealth in the long run. >> when you see the dow lately, it's hard. >> you panic. >> i understand, but it's the number one way to build wealth over the long run. better than cash really. >> all right, you say buy less fewer things and go more places or experience more things. >> this one's exciting, right? so the number one new year's resolution this year was to enjoy life to the fullest. research shows that if we're spending money on experiences, could be dining out, it could be a great trip somewhere, we're so much happier. >> we get memories as opposed to the new sweater that ends up in the closet anyway. which hoda can't find. >> which is probably in a pile. you say this is a good time to ask for a raise or get a new job? >> yes, only 8% of americans are happy with their income. but the job market is better than we've seen in recent years so it's a great time to ask and 3 out of 4 people who ask do get a raise. at least a portion of it, right? something. >> it's worth a try. >> thank you very much. >> we appreciate it. >> everyone has a story, and this one's about a family and long lost love that has come full circle. >> plus a little spice makes everything nice. >> that are delicious!s! >> we're bhak on thirsty thursday, two weeks into the new year. which means this is about the time some people start cheating on their diets. >> our "today" food team has come to the rescue with a healthy meal that's so good you feel like you're cheating. here to share with us her lighter version of the dish. >> oh, you did so well with my last name today. >> is it marcella? >> marcella. >> good. >> slap the chicken. i'm going to cook it for you guys. you asked me a good question i'll try to resolve them as we go down the line. we've got a five-pound chicken. here's my secret to make it delicious. i'm going to sneak. using the wooden spoon, i'm going to separate the skin from the flesh and then i'm going to sneak some fresh jalapenos that i thinly sliced. >> right under there? what does that do? >> it not only adds flavor and spice, when you're cooking the chicken it protects it from the heat so you're creating a barrier that keeps it nice and moist. >> all the way down? >> the more you can get in there, the better. then we just season the chicken. we're going to add some herbs. we've got some oregano. either cilantro or parsley will work. i like to stick whole limes in there. whole bunch of flavor. >> you cut it in half and stick it in? >> the juices are going to seep into the chicken. a couple of garlic cloves and that's it. >> not much prep really. >> not really. and then to season it, i have some coconut oil, one of the healthier fats. then brush that on there. and salt and pepper. that's your seasoning for the chicken. >> you're leaving a lot of this hanging out. >> that's okay. you're going to put it in the pan over some butternut squash also lightly the seasoned with a little bit of coconut oil. >> we're doing that when it's raw? >> everything's in one dish. nice and heavy cast iron. you want it to be nice and heavy cast iron because it's a good conductor of heat. >> yes, all this in the oven 475 for about an hour and 20 minutes. >> 475? >> that's the thing, you're going to get this beautiful crispy skin. when it hits 160, that chicken is ready. >> what are we making? >> we're making tacos. you've got this beautiful flavorful chicken. you see the jalapenos, they cook down so they're not so spicy. i need to wipe my hands, because i have chicken hands. i'm clean now. now we're going to make tacos. you've got the onions, pickled jalapenos, limes, radishes, fresh tortillas, my nice and light refried beans which are cooked in coconut oil. >> this version is healthy. the recipe is on your guy's website. so tacos. >> here's yours, kath. >> come here and let's make ours. here's yours, i'll make mine. >> if you're vegetarian, just add squash. >> no thank you. >> why would anyone do that? >> we have to dig in with our fingers, we don't have enough time. >> we don't? >> well, maybe we do. >> no onions, how about jalapenos? >> no. >> radish? >> no. >> okay, your taco bar -- >> i want the refried beans. >> scoop it out. >> a little bit. >> that would be -- >> how about this and this. and do you put any sauce on it or just like that? >> i actually make my own salsa but i will find it perfectly acceptable if you go to the supermarket and get a nice pico de gallo. the fresh ones are usually much you need salsa. >> yes, you do. >> delicious, delicious. love it. recipe is on our website. today.com/food. click on the healthy tab. >> they rekindled their romance. after more than 30 years apart. you won't believe what brought them together. >> everyone has a story. one of the best we've ever had. really good. so how ya doing?

yes! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day helps defend against occasional digestive issues. with three types of good bacteria. live the regular life. everyone has a moment that changes their life now to a very special everyone has a story. this one is about finding a family and finding love. a surprising way life can come >> patrick wrote in to tell us his extraordinary journey. we'll meet him and his family in a moment but first listen to his letter very carefully. >> i was born on september 27, 1978. my birth parents were teenagers at the time and in the end my mom opted to put me up for adoption. i was adopted by two wonderful parents. my adopted mom had lupus. she was a soldier and fought the disease as long as she could but it became too much for her to handle. she died in november 1989 when i was 11. life after my mom's death was difficult. for a time, it was just my dad and i. then eventually he remarried and we moved in with his his wife and her daughter. fast forward 20-plus years to a time when i had a son my own. i decided to embark on the journey to find my birth parents. it was fueled by both curiosity and a desire to better understand my background. when i reached out to the adoption agency, they told me my mom had left her contact information with them around the time i turned 18. i turned to the internet and within 20 minutes on facebook, i had a confirmed match. i knew the minute i saw her picture i found the right person. there was no mistaking the resemblance. our first phone conversation lasted for hours. but that was just the beginning. my birth mother was able to track down my birth father. they hadn't really spoken or had any contact since they were together as teenagers when i was born. my mom's husband had a pulmonary condition and unfortunately passed away. it was devastating to my mom. my birth father was in the process of separation and as time went on, my mom and dad rekindled the relationship they had when i was born. and then yes, you guessed it, they got back together. they recently even got married. it was completely surreal for all of us in the most amazing way possible. we all see each other frequently. last year, my birth parents came out to east coast and got to meet my adopted dad for the very first time. it was an incredible and emotional day, one that i'll never forget. sometimes life comes full circle and gives you back more in first time around. >> wow. >> so patrick is here with us along with his birth parents stephanie and todd ripple. this is unbelievable. >> this is crazy. >> hoda thinks it's like doing one of her "datelines." >> i can't believe it all happened like this. >> when you left your contact information after the birth of your son, did you ever -- i mean what was your intent when you left it do you think back then? i know you were just a teenager? >> i wanted to reconnect. >> you did? you knew that some day -- >> well, i was privileged to have a nurse in the hospital sneak me into a closet with my son before they took him away and let me spend a few minutes with him. and i told him one day i will see you again. >> oh, my gosh. >> and then -- and this relationship, so you guys were obviously teenage sweethearts. altogether? like there was no communication between the two of you through the years? >> it was kind of a parental insistence there. >> how old were you? may i ask that? >> i was 17 and then 18 when i delivered. and from a very strict religious family. and it was forbidden that we continued our relationship. >> so were the sparks there when you remet? is that what happened? it's so funny. >> for me, it was like 35-plus years just disappeared. >> really? >> the same. >> and patrick, for you, were you thinking, this is just surreal? >> it really was. i mean, i started the whole process in my head, hopes but no expectations. i knew i may not even find them or, you know, may contact them and it wouldn't go any further than that. >> maybe they wouldn't even want to be found. >> right. has just added to, you know, the whole i went from one side of, you know, realistically knowing i may not ever find them to where we're at today so it's just been one complete surprise after another. >> i'm just curious, how was that first hug with your mom? >> well, it was the picture right there when we were in the airport. >> what did it feel like? >> it was eerie how familiar it was. it felt like you had just said goodbye to someone and they were coming home, you know, when you found someone so -- >> wow. i hope we've done this amazing story justice with this song that david and i have written for you. it's -- singing it is a wonderful broadway performer, hunter ryan and stay with us and hear this song. it's called "full circle," as it (cell phone rings) where are you? well the squirrels are back in the attic. mom? your dad won't call an exterminator... can i call you back, mom? he says it's personal this time... if you're a mom, you call at the worst time. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. where are you?
