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 […]

It is now week 3 of the 100 year celebration of Julia Child and they’ve hit us with a doozy! Well not really, but this one did certainly take more time than the Omelette Roulee of week 1 which was in and out of my HOT pan in a minute and a half! (That’s my […]

Always interested in trying new recipes, especially those from a culinary icon like Julia Child, we opted in! Every Monday over the […]

How to Hard Boil an Egg

It may seem strange that as a food blogger, I have hard boiled an egg only once in my life. But as I felt the need to make an egg salad sandwich, my hard boiling experience was about to double! Of course I took this opportunity to make a helpful post about hard boiling an […]

Eggplant Risotto
October 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Rice, Vegetable
After watching Hell’s Kitchen for the first time years ago and hearing Chef Ramsay yell several profanities about a contestant’s Risotto, I knew one day I would find myself trying to cook up some Risotto while envisioning the one and only Gordon Ramsay screaming at me! Oh what an honour that would be! So FINALLY, […]

Crepes: Easy & Fancy Breakfast
June 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment · breakfast, Dessert
Crepes are one of my favorite breakfast fancy foods. For the most part, it’s an easy recipe to make and the toppings can easily be changed around to alter the look and taste of the crepes. For this recipe, I use our family’s oldest (yet, probably the best) cookbook: Betty Crocker’s Cookbook. To give you […]
