- Bio
- I have never been a cook. I envy people who can cook like I envy people who have successful relationships. I, the cuisine-ignorant-perpetually-single girl, assumed I would always boil an egg for breakfast or pick up a pre-packaged, macrobiotic dish from Whole Foods for dinner. Then, my luck changed. I met and got engaged to a wonderful man. We moved in together and that's when I realized we had nothing in common when it came to our taste in food. I am a vegetarian who sometimes eats fish (as in sushi). He likes heavy or French cuisine and would rather shove a pen in his eye than eat a salad. Cooking for someone and eating together is like preparing the set up and making love so if you don't enjoy it together than your relationship is kaput. After seeing Julia/Julie, I decided to learn how to cook the heavy or French cooking he likes but adjust the ingredients to make them healthier like I like. Can two different food styles come together like the blending of two distinct lives? I don't know but this blog will be my journey towards commitment both in love and in the kitchen. La Belle France, A Votre Sante!

The mushroom and spinach quiche went over very well. Love's mother came by and she liked it so much she took one of the quiche's home with her so I feel that's an A+. Even love's picky teen daughter liked the quiche and J… Read full post »

JC's Chapter 1 is "Soups" and the first recipe is how to make potato and leek soup. It would have been easier to use whipping cream and butter but I wanted to create a healthier or lower fat alternative. I looked up sever… Read full post »
