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
IT'S FINALLY FALL!!!!!! So naturally all things Fall are in order, including apple picking! A few weekends ago my parents came up and we went apple picking in the mountains of NC. It's always such a beautiful, fun time. This year...it rained. Almost the entirety of the time we were there. But nonetheless, apples were… Continue reading Apple Pie Filling
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
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
I love me some cheesecake. I'll admit that I'm pretty picky about cheesecakes mostly because I've tried a lot of overcooked, dry ones. Carrot cake always makes me think of Easter, so it's fitting that I just made this cake a week after Easter for Josh's birthday! BUT this cake was not just one, but… Continue reading Carrot Cake Cheesecake
I wasn't sure whether to put this under Recipes or Reviews, so I put it under both =) I'm actually not a huge chocolate person. I normally prefer fruity desserts, anything coconut, or some sort of tart or cake over something chocolatey. BUT during those times I just crave something chocolate, having the perfect brownie… Continue reading The Search for the Best Brownie
Granita? What's that? It's basically like if Italian ice and a snow cone had a baby. It's the perfect little light treat for a summer day...or a March day in Greenville that feels like summer. Two thing I love about granita: 1. It's super refreshing and a perfect pallet cleanser before an entree. 2. It's… Continue reading Lemon Basil Granita

For me, a warm, flaky, scratch-made biscuit will always be at the top of the list for comfort food (see my fave recipe here). But I'll admit that homemade pasta is a close second. Especially on a rainy day. Something about pasta on a rainy day is just the best! *disclaimer: I can't find all… Continue reading Homemade Pasta
