Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi The first time I made palmiers was two years ago. I think I had beginners luck as they came out perfect. I was not wanting to deviate much from what I did then, afraid that I would break the spell. Dorie’s recipe is a little bit different from what…

Vegetable Tian
I Heart Cooking Clubs My husband gets the sole credit for this week’s cooking assignment. I was all cooked out last weekend but my husband decided to take the reigns. Among the vegetable dishes I had tagged in Barefoot In Paris my husband chose this Vegetable Tian. Who knew such simple ingredients could taste so…
Winter Squash Soup (soupe au potiron)
I have been Barefoot In Paris with Ina for the majority of my cooking so this challenge was easy for me. I chose a warm winter soup for a rare cool day in California. My husband is also traveling so I picked a recipe he would not like, namely anything with butternut squash. The winter…
Provencal Vegetable Soup (Soupe Au Pistou)
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are making one pot meals. I have been looking forward to making soup and I found a good one. Ina’s recipes are big so I halved the recipe and got four servings. This soup is filled with vegetable goodness; onions, leeks, potatoes, carrots and green beans. They…
Lemon Meringue Tart
How Good Does That Look! This being our theme of the week at I Heart Cooking Clubs. I decided to make this Lemon Meringue Tart from Barefoot In Paris. I had motivation besides the look of this tart. The last time I made a lemon tart the filling did not set up, I wanted to…
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
I love potatoes in any way, shape or form. I have never made garlic mashed potatoes, eaten them several times, so this recipe seemed the perfect fit for me. These garlic mashed potatoes were a side dish to a meal that included marinated flank steak and kale chips. This recipe is a labor of love…
Salmon with Lentils
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we were challenged to make a dish Jeffery, Ina’s husband, would love. I don’t think I have seen a dish that Jeffery didn’t like so the choices were endless. My riff on this challenge was making my husband’s favorite dish, salmon with lentils. I have had varying success…
Apple Clfouti
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are cooking from this month’s featured ingredient; apples or pears. The recipe from Barefoot in Paris by Ina Garten is made with pears but I made mine with apples. A clafouti is a new French dessert for me. Ina describes it as a pancake-like batter poured over…
Croque Monsieur
Croque Monsieur! How easy is that? This week on I Heart Cooking Clubs we were tasked with making something easy from Ina Garten’s recipes. I chose Croque Monsieur because how easy is a grilled cheese sandwich? My husband could not believe I have never had the famed French sandwich. The recipe starts with a white…
Caramelized Shallots
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are cooking with alliums. What are alliums? They are garlic, onions, shallots, leeks, scallions or chives. I love caramelized onions so I figured I would like these caramelized shallots. I used Ina’s handy hint to boil the shallots for one minute to peel them. The peeled shallots…
