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…

Zucchini and Goat Cheese Tart
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs This tart caught my eye when I was watching Ina’s show Barefoot Contessa. I was looking for an occasion to make it but I ended up making half a recipe for myself for two lunches. My version looks a bit more rustic than Ina’s polished one but still…
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…
Dinner with Ina
I hosted a family dinner to showcase Ina’s fabulous recipes. I made Lemon Chicken, Moroccan Couscous and Limoncello Ricotta Cheesecake. Two of the three recipes were from Barefoot in Paris. I made the Lemon Chicken without the croutons, since I was making the couscous I didn’t feel I needed another starch. The Lemon Chicken was…
Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts and Mexican Hot Chocolate
When I read the theme of the week at I Heart Cooking Clubs, Get Cozy, the first item that came to mind was Hot Chocolate! Winter and hot beverages go together just like hot chocolate and doughnuts. I was perusing the Barefoot Contessa website and came across this pair of recipes. This required me buying…
Roasted Hazelnut Granola
This month’s featured ingredient at I Heart Cooking Clubs is granola. My husband’s favorite breakfast cereal or snack is granola. He is pretty specific about his granola; no chocolate, no fruit except raisins, no funny flavors. I chose Ina’s roasted hazelnut granola as it fit the rules of granola for my husband. This was a…
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…
Cheese Puffs (Gougeres)
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we were tasked with making a cocktail or a small bite. I decided to make these gougeres as an appetizer. I have made gougeres before and they were a big hit the last time I made them. Ina’s recipe from Barefoot in Paris is quite different in technique…
Roasted Salmon Tacos
Inspired by fellow blogger Deb in Hawaii at Kahakai Kitchen, I made these roasted salmon tacos. This was a three step process but still pretty easy. I made the cabbage cucumber slaw one hour in advance. I used red wine vinegar instead of white because that is all I had. My husband made the salmon….
