This is recipe 2/10 on my 'List of Recipes to Make that Scare Me' from Julia Child's 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking'. My last post ( Julia Child's Ouefs en Cocotte) explains my entire endeavor and also the 1st of 10 recipes I intend to make. Now I'm not really a big mayo person.… Continue reading Julia Child’s Famous Mayonnaise
Since I was young, Julia Child has been one of my culinary idols. I loved watching 'The French Chef' on PBS as a girl, and I was ecstatic when the movie Julie and Julia came out! Unlike the movie, there's no way I'm committing to 524 recipes in 365 days- I just know myself too… Continue reading Julia Child’s Oeufs en Cocotte

I've tried… Continue reading Quest for the Best Natural Deodorant
No, this is not a Thanksgiving in July type post. But wouldn't that be something? I mean we have Christmas in July why not Thanksgiving? (can you tell Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday ?) In everything give thanks. If you grew up in a Christian home, you probably got told this A LOT as a… Continue reading In Everything Give Thanks
Just the name of these makes my mouth water! I admit that brown butter is a fad right now (even though I'm pretty sure Julia Child used it in like everything though, so if she wasn't already an OG...she is for this). I'm usually not the one to follow food fads (cake pops, bacon EVERYTHING,etc)… Continue reading Brown Butter Cinnamon Rolls

Eventually she sold her spreads recipes to her bookkeeper who then sold it to his wife's brother. Jump ahead 3 generations and the… Continue reading Duke Sandwich Co.
It's summer. Time for the pool, going to the beach, tan lines, ice cream, strawberries, peaches, watermelon and grilled EVERYTHING! Growing up we always had a garden and my whole family loves to grill out. I used to love when we would literally pick veggies from our garden, wash them and throw them on the… Continue reading Best Brine for Chicken
