As part of wrapping up the last 15 weeks of JC100, Carlene and I wanted to take the opportunity to give our thoughts on the whole experience, what we learned and how it all tasted!

Boeuf Bourguignon | JC100 – Week 15
August 14th, 2012 · No Comments · Beef, Dinner, JC100, Red Meat, soup
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… the fifteenth and FINAL week of the JC100! FIFTEEN WHOLE WEEKS, that’s three and a half months…105 DAYS…nearly a third of a year! And of course, the final dish is one of Julia’s flagship recipes – Boeuf Bourguignon. This couldn’t have worked out better, as my mother […]

Scallops Gratinee (with Wine, Garlic, and Herbs) | JC100 – Week 14
August 7th, 2012 · 10 Comments · Appetizer, Cheese, Dinner, Fish, JC100, Seafood, Side
I must admit, I was expecting this weeks recipe to be the popular boeuf bourguignon, but maybe that will be next week for the big finale! Of course, receiving a recipe with scallops was no disappointment as I LOVE seafood and scallops are no exception! As usual the recipe did not disappoint, making for a […]

Cheese Souffle | JC100 – Week 13
July 31st, 2012 · 3 Comments · Cheese, Dinner, Egg, JC100, Side
It has finally arrived…the infamous Souffle! I knew at some point during JC100 this recipe was going to show up in our inbox, and though slightly terrified, I was very excited to try my hand at it! Now I’ve gotta have a little sympathy for the poor old souffle, it’s gotten a pretty bad rep […]

Julia Child’s Easy Homemade Mayonnaise | JC 100 – Week 12
July 26th, 2012 · 8 Comments · Easy, Egg, Gluten Free, How To, JC100
So Julia Child is trying to tell us that homemade mayo is easy? Pfff… yeah right…okay… fine, she was right. In fact, she was more than right. To continue on our cooking spree for week 12 of the Julia Child Challenge, we opted to try making Julia’s homemade mayonnaise in a food processor. Now this […]
Provencal Tomatoes | JC100 – Week 12
July 25th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Appetizer, Bread, Dinner, Easy, Fresh herbs, JC100, Vegetable
Here is the second recipe from Week 12 of the Julia Child JC100 celebration. We both agreed these provencal tomatoes were up there with the Asparagus and Hollandaise as the favourite recipe of the week. However, we think these bad boys would best be served as a breakfast food – topped with an egg and […]

Ratatouille | JC100 – Week 11
July 18th, 2012 · 6 Comments · Dinner, Fresh herbs, JC100, Vegetable
Ratatouille!! Finally! Now maybe Ratatouille doesn’t need that many exclamation marks, but I was excited to make it and finally find out what it tastes like! After watching (and thoroughly enjoying) the Pixar film, I’ve always been curious what it was like! Well I wasn’t disappointed! All the vegetables melded together into some wonderful flavours. […]

Bouillabaisse (Mediterranean Seafood Soup) | JC100 – Week 10
July 16th, 2012 · 3 Comments · Easy, Fish, Fresh herbs, Healthy, JC100, Seafood, soup, Summer Fresh
Well let me start this post off with explaining why this recipe is a bit late…. Saskatchewan was slammed with a heat and humidity wave all of last week and the last place I wanted to be was inside, let alone my kitchen (my house was 27°C in the evening…. I don’t even want to […]
