Caprese Tartine, with kids…

Bonjour my friends, This week’s recipe will be another “easy-to-make” one. I was trying find a recipe that would be easy and fast to make for parents. Last weekend, we (my husband and I) were babysitting for one of our friends. I’ve done my share of babysitting over the years so I’m sadly no stranger to … Continue reading

Salmon as Easy as Un, Deux, Trois

Bonjour my friends, It’s been a least 3 weeks since my last post. I try to post a recipe every week, but I have been so busy lately, blogging is sadly not at the top of my to-do list. And since I’ve been so busy, the cooking has to be easy, fast but still delicious. So … Continue reading

Bonjour my friends, Before I share my recipe of the week with you, I wanted to encourage you to go read one of my favorite blogger’s latest post: Running Sunflower. Shannon was at the Boston’s Marathon last week. She is a great runner and an awesome writer, and I found her post very moving and … Continue reading

Bonjour my friends, Spring is coming up, at least for some of us. Not to make any of you out there jealous, but I’m writing this post after taking a nice break on my sunny balcony sipping away a cold glass of apple cider… Granted, I’m in New Mexico. The weather is still deciding which … Continue reading

When Taxes meet Pasta…

Bonjour my Friends, What a busy couple of weeks! I had so many things to do that blogging got moved to the end of my “To Do list”! Cooking is still a priority (a girl has got to eat!) but I am falling  behind on the writing part. One thing that steered me away from blogging … Continue reading

Bonjour my friends, It has been a very busy and very cold week! Desperate times call for desperate measures… It’s time to use my slow cooker. Using a slow cooker is actually the opposite of desperate measures (I was going for the dramatic tone). I absolutely LOVE this thing. I have noticed that slow cookers … Continue reading

Frenchy Sandwich (façon Lucie)

Bonjour my friends, I’m flying solo this week. My husband is out of town so it’s dinner for one instead of two (while watching the entire season 2 of Downton Abbey!) I’m use to cooking for myself. That is actually how I discovered my passion for cooking. It is less intimidating to try a new … Continue reading

Middle Eastern Rice Festivities

Bonjour my friends, I received two awesome cookbooks for Christmas, one of them being Jerusalem: A Cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi. I love Middle Eastern cuisine: the spices, the flavors and the colors are so vibrant. As usual, I didn’t follow the recipe step by step, but I stayed pretty close to the original. The main … Continue reading

Bonjour my Friends, It’s beginning of January, time for good resolutions! Good resolutions mean eating healthy (at least for most people I know).  “Eating Healthy” (or should I say “Keep Eating Healthy”) is on my husband’s list of New Year’s resolutions. Consequently, “Keep Cooking Healthy” is on MY list of New Year’s resolutions :).   … Continue reading

Bonjour my friends, Bonne Année à tous! Yes, 2013 is already here. I can’t believe it came so fast and like every other year, I’m gonna be writing 2012 instead of 2013 on checks till the month of March! One of my resolutions for this year is to continue posting one recipe a week on my … Continue reading
