For French Fridays with Dorie, I waited a day late to make this recipe so I could share it with friends. Every year we go to this event which includes a picnic dinner and fireworks. We also celebrate our dear friend’s birthday which this year happens to be on the event so a cake was…

Salmon Rillettes
I am fresh back from vacation, a Caribbean cruise, and adjusting to life back on land and in the kitchen again. I did a make-up recipe this week for French Fridays with Dorie as I had most of the ingredients for it. My head is still in a fog and on the wrong time zone…
